Friday, January 20, 2006A couple of odd phenomena that I have noticedCurrently, I work as a restaurant supervisor in a casino. I pull the graveyard shift a couple of times a week. It is during these shifts that I have noticed an odd pattern. Smoking is still allowed indoors in Nevada and it will take something quite amazing to change that fact. Gambling, drinking,...

Every car commercial that you see where they drive on this big flat expanse is filmed out here. A lot of films have scenes shot out here as well. Wind, Independence Day, and Con Air come to mind...

I didn't plan on being awake for that long. Rarely do I make plans to be awake that long. 24 hours, yes. 31 hours, no. And even when I plan my 24 hour days, I still try to sneak in an hour...

"That's my boy," was my response to the news that my wife broke to me yesterday. In actuality, I already knew about my son's new addition but last we talked, I thought we were going to keep it between him and me. All you dads out there know...

Nothing yet that really sounds like hocking out a good deep loogie but I am still betting that skill comes in handy. He does that sound quite a bit so I'm thinking I'm on to something. We have Tek, kitty, cheese, uh oh, cheese, 'ey! (at the top of his voice), and I...

I wanted to see Serenity but as luck would have it, the movie wasn't in. I try to rent one video once in a while and the dang thing wasn't even in. We came home and had dinner and still in the mood for a movie checked what was on ppv. There's no...

My wife gives my son a bath, puts on his pj's, and brushes his teeth. We take him to his bed where I read him a bed time story. Tonight we read about the destruction of Sodom and...

In the grand scheme of things, it's just another day but I suppose that we tend to look for starts and finishes. Today is a start. A brand new start, some say but the habits of all the yesteryears aren't so easily banished. How about a resolution? I'm not...

You buy the frame and put the crib mattress on it. You see, my son is a climber and we realized that it wouldn't be long before he was leaving his crib on his own. He has conquered many, many...

She proceeded to fake a sneeze, to which my son echoed it back. "I taught him how to pretend to sneeze," she said. Usually, I'm pretty quick with a response but this one left me a little off guard. Lots of thoughts ran through... Sign in to see full entry. |
