TB’s Book Club: Ghost Rider

As I think I’ve said here (and definitely said elsewhere in various peoples’ comments) I’ve spent the last week and some change reading Neil Peart’s book Ghost Rider:  Travels on the Healing Road.  I’d seen it heartily recommended sometime in the past on some motorcyclist web site, and noted it for the future, but never [...]

You can pick your friends…

…but you can’t pick your relatives, as I’ve had cause to tell a few people in the past month or two.  And as I told those folks, that’s a saying in my family – and there’s a reason for that.
Dead Charming posted a quick blog about heading to his family reunion today, and I started [...]

A Day (Off) as an Aspie Parent

Woo boy, did I have a day off.
First, I slept in. WOOHOO! Nothing wrong with an extra two hours of sleep, right?
Then I got up and made some Cocoa Pebbles for the boy and myself. I typed up my quickie blog while he watched some cartoons, then took my shower and got [...]

Day Off

Yep, after the frantic activity of last week, I’m taking the day off. 
There are lots of reasons.  Said frantic activity is one.  Another is that Dys is also in the midst of a crunch time at work and so she could use the help around the house.  And still another is that my son’s two [...]

Caught up!

Dang, people. Seriously, there were so many new blog entries that by the time I got to the end and refreshed my feed reader there were MORE. No shit. But it’s made for a cool day so far!
Well, all except for the fact that there was a comment on Vix’s blog from [...]

Monday Music

Aaah, back to the usual grind. I know I said I’d be caught up on everybody by midweek, but HOLY CRAP people, y’all were busy while I was…uh, busy. Seriously, at least three quarters of my feed reader is lit up like a Christmas tree. I gots lots of reading to do!
Anyway, [...]

Whew.

That was three BUSY days at work.  I think we got it knocked out, though. 
And I’ve now had a big chunk of my half-gallon of Captain Morgan to help put it behind me.  That helps. 
Just wanted to confirm that yes, I’m still alive…sorry for my silence both here and on lots of your blog comments – hopefully [...]

Buzz off.

There is a huge fly in my department that keeps buzzing his ass into my office, butting up against my window for a while, then buzzing the hell back out again just before I get up and whack him with a rolled-up TPS report. Little bastard.
Not much to say for today, and I’m going to [...]

AAWMS: On “Southern Manners”

Hey y’all, it’s time for “Ask a White Male Southerner!”

When I worked in the customer service department at Camping World (RV accessories), my favorite callers were southern men because of the politeness and accent. I dreaded the calls from New Jersey men because of the un-politeness and accent. The women from the north and [...]
