Last summer, I discovered poison ivy in several places around my house. I sprayed it all with poison ivy killer and it died. I am well aware that poison ivy is still potent even after it's dead.
I was doing some relatively minor yard work over the weekend and I decided ...

I spoke to soon. My daughter had another bad dream last night. She didn't get out of bed this time. She called us from her bed until we woke up. Luckily, my wife handled the chore of going to her room and calming her down.
I asked my wife this morning ...

My side of the bed is closest to the bedroom door, so when my daughter has a bad dream, I'm the one that gets woken up. Thankfully, she doesn't scream and cry from her bed. She's actually very considerate. She gently taps me until I wake up. Unfortunately, a gentle ...

I'm so hungry right now. I'm trying to use all my will power to keep me from going to the vending machine and getting a Butterfinger Crisp bar, which is just the best new candy bar I've had in a long time. It's kind of like a Butterfinger flavored Kit ...

I just want to say publicly that if my body ever ends up in a state like Terri Schiavo's body, please remove the feeding tube. I think it's absolutely torturous to keep her body functioning in the state that it's in. It is 100% irresponsible of Congress and President Bush ...

When I heard that former Survivor winners Rob and Amber were going to be on The Amazing Race, I groaned a bit. It's obviously a ploy by the producers to generate more interest in the show. I'm sure Rob and Amber were approached by the producers and were probably guaranteed ...

Apparently, there is a new Anthrax scare involving two military mailrooms and one or two postal facilities. The first test was positive and the second test was inconclusive. They are waiting on the final tests.
I think most of America is saying, "Why is this taking so long?" In the age ...

I finally won at Texas Hold 'Em last night. It was a phenomenal feeling. Like I mentioned in my last post, the buy-in was $35. Out of the 10 people playing, there were 4 that I usually feel intimidated to play with. Two of them made it to ...

Poker night is upon us once again. Tonight's buy-in is $35, which includes pizza. It's a little higher than usual...only $10...but with my track record, that's just $10 more that I'll lose. The host sets the buy-in and he probably would've set it higher if people were willing to pay ...

I just read that The Pacifier was the number 1 movie of the weekend grossing $30 million. How could this be? The previews look awful. It looks like a vain attempt to repeat the formula of Kindergarten Cop -- big-time action star meets kids. Who would want to see Vin ...
