Toboggan Bowling?

With some beautiful weather today, we decided to head to the elementary school near our house to do some tobogganing this afternoon.  There’s a small hill behind the school which is “Pace-sized” – except some enterprising folks had seen fit to create an ice run on the hill, build a jump at the bottom of […]

Saturday Snap – Ninja Bowling?

It’s hard to see but this is a clip of Pace playing a bowling game on the Kinect.  (Of course, from his actions, you’d think the game was a Mortal Kombat!)

Saturday Snap – Resting Before Christmas Party #2 of the Weekend

Resting before Christmas party, originally uploaded by headtale. The busiest time of the year – Christmas party last night, friends over tonight, RPL Kids Christmas party tomorrow afternoon. It really takes it out of a guy!

Saturday Snap – Dear Santa

A Great Way For Women to Support Movember (Other Than Donating Money of Course)

Today is “Have Sex With a Guy With a Mustache” Day, created (by Maxim magazine?  Oh, sorry – I mean, Asylum magazine) as a way for women to support the men they love as they grow all those oh-so-sexy soup strainers in support of prostate cancer. In related news, I thought about registering for Movember […]

Popular Science Lecturer Collapses, Students Rush To…Twitter?

Stories like this are only hastening my arrival at a “kids these days!” state of old man intolerance and disgust. Okay, I’m sure part of this isn’t just a generation of insensitive, YouTube zomboids not reacting to an emergency but also a terrible example of the bystander effect, except, like so many other things, the […]
