There was a VERY strict rule about not singing at the dinner table. Now that I'm an adult, we always have dinner music and I find myself singing. Sometimes I feel guilty and then I realize it's my house, my mom is long gone and the food still tastes great in it's musically tainted way.

HOUSE RULES: My House, My Rules
One of my favorite bars in New York is a secret. It has no telephone number. No windows. No signage. And the address on the front door is conveniently wrong. The bar's owner just wanted to open a tiny, intimate space where friends could come for quiet conversation and exceptionally well-made coc...
My husband and I were having a conversation regarding 'job bitchin' the other day. I complain about my job and I realize and understand that I really have no obvious reason to do so. I've been in my industry for a couple of decades so I know my job quite well, I get a very nice salary, and I work for a great company. So I have not one reason to complain about my job and yet I do. What I've realized is that I want to buy my time back. I want to be able to have the freedom to simplify and downsize my life and not be beholden to someone else to make them wealthy, while I collect my fraction of the take. This insight comes with my college education, my hard work and growing weary of doing the same thing day after day. So with that said, the plan is in place to choose to make a change, after all that's all we have; that ability to make choices.
All that aside, I find it amazing the power of words and our individual interpretation.

a point of clarification
Yesterday, I overheard some twentysomethings complaining about how much they hated their jobs. After a few minutes, it became clear that none of them took high school seriously, and at least a couple of them had dropped out of community college because it was, in their words, "too hard." I Twitt...
This is a good thing for me, because I often read, 'he then threw a blop blop blop, which caused great rejoicing' Now I can see what all the fuss is about, via the video tubes.
Carry on

learn to kill monsters and take treasures in the comfort of your own home
Munchkin, from Steve Jackson Games, is a fairly polarizing game, especially at BGG, where people tend to love it or hate it. I love it, mostly from playing some truly memorable games with my kids over the years. Nolan was to my right. He kicked in a door and didn't find a monster, so he looked...
I was thinking that he must have smelled like a pastrami sandwich, I'm glad that thought was corrected. Quite amusing!

Sinus-related happy funtimes* have temporarily halted my plans to finish my PAX after action report. I hope to get to it by the weekend, but until I do, please enjoy this silly video my friend Greg shot, which I'm kind of in: Also, this picture taken by Heath while we played D&D. It captur...

to mark the passage of three thousand six hundred and fifty-three days together
We went to Napa for our tenth anniversary. For the record: being married to your best friend rules.
It's odd that you are writing this, right now. I had similiar thoughts a while back when I caught Stand By Me while clicking through the channels. I had mostly zereod in on how you are a writer and that you look nothing like Richard Dreyfuss...thankfully.

When we filmed Stand By Me, none of us knew it was going to be the huge success that it became. None of us expected it to be part of that 50s revival that was so much fun in the mid-80s, and none of us knew that it would essentially launch all of our acting careers. But I think that, if you aske...
That is so awesome, I couldn't quit grinning!
We've had this game one month to the day. My husband and I are both mphh-ty years old and we LOVE it. Our 18 year old daughters rushs home from work so we can all play Rock Band 2. It's really getting in the way of reality, but is an ohsogood way.
I did think of you the other day when we unlocked the 'endless set'. Nope, haven't played that yet!

it doesn't make a difference if we look cool or not...
After playing Rock Band 2 for 2 straight hours and struggling though some songs I've never played before, I was worried that when the videos started making their way online, I'd look like an asshole who didn't know how to play fake instruments, and that everyone would laugh at me. But when I...
