As mentioned in a previous post, I had a bicycle accident on Friday that resulted in my being knocked out and ending up in the hospital overnight for observation. (No other humans or vehicles were...
Yesterday, I took a major spill on my bike. Actually, I'm told that is what happened; I remember nothing before waking up in the back of an ambulance and being taken to a hospital, where they held me...
I thought this article from Jezebel might be helpful for all those brides who ask how not to have their periods on their wedding day or honeymoon.
I'm thinking that my most effective argument for same-sex marriage may not be my formal canvassing, but my biking around at night with this giant flashing glow stick wrapped around my bike frame, and...
"Rachael Ray finds inspiration in cooking her family and her dog"?!?!? Edit: Apparently photoshopped, but still funny.
Granddaughter born one month early, 8:05 PM, 6 lbs., 7.2 ounces, Apgar score 9/9, pushed only 22 minutes, nursed already, mommy fine, parents ecstatic. I got to watch the birth. It was actually the...
From a commencement speech given at Wellesley High School in Wellesley, Mass: Weddings are one-sided and insufficiently effective. Weddings are bride-centric pageantry. Other than conceding to a list...
Okay, I know this is off the wall. But NotFroofy would really like to make one of the cakes for my daughter's wedding. We have an oven where we are staying. We can bring pans, decorating supplies,...
1. That young whippersnapper who said modern tents don't need seam sealant? He apparently didn't read the set-up instructions for our tent, which started with, "Apply seam sealant before your first...
So it will be nearly three years after our wedding--not sure what the cutoff is on a honeymoon. But NotFroofy and I have decided to take a road trip rather than just fly to my daughter's wedding in...
Someone posted here recently about Earndit, which gives you gift cards and/or charitable contributions based on how much you exercise. I just joined. If anyone else is a member, can you please PM me...
I bicycle about 50 miles a week, and spend a lot of my time figuring out how not to get killed by clueless drivers. Any chance you could spend a few minutes figuring out how not to kill me? And before...
Agreeing with a prior opinion of the Maryland Attorney General, Maryland's highest court has now held that same-sex marriages performed elsewhere (including ours) are valid in Maryland. (Ironically,...
Daughter and her FI just confirmed the venue for their wedding, which will be in September of this year. Here is the link. It looks absolutely gorgeous, and even has cabins where people can stay, so...
The wedding will take place in Oregon on September 22 of this year. It will be quite informal; there was talk (which NotFroofy is working on squelching) of it involving a hike up a mountain. It will...
So, in 2009, NotFroofy and I got married. In 2011, my son (the dude of honor at our wedding) got married, and he and his wife are now expecting a baby in July. Today, I got a call from my daughter...
As illustrated in this article, fat people who maintain four health habits are just as healthy as thin people who maintain the same habits. The four health habits involved are: * eating 5 or more...
Check out this ad from the Irish campaign for civil marriage. Maryland will be going through such a vote in the fall, as a referendum seeks to overturn the recently passed same-sex marriage bill. I am...
One in a series of occasional posts on why correct spelling, grammar, and spacing are important. ;-)
I'm sitting here in a puddle of sweat right now. I usually just do about half the weight machines at the gym. However, since I bicycled yesterday and will be bicycling each of the next few days, I...
