How to wake up on Fathers’ Day
It’s easy to do with the right little faces making the right noises.
Little C continues the Little Green Men tradition: you don’t see the boy, you just see the blur.

Chaos in the laundry room! Well, okay, one Chao.
Gamer kids: begging gamer dads to wash a stuffed Chao by morning since 2007. Here’s something you don’t run through the wash every day…

My day in a nutshell
I noticed, with some irony, the words “E-Z INSTALL” on a shard of the plastic diffuser lens on my ceiling-mounted fluorescent light fixture as it shattered as a result of my following the directions to flex it for removal from the fixture so I could change out the bulbs. The whole thing just went to splinters right on top of my head and into the floor (that I was going to have to step down onto from the stepladder a couple of moments later… in my bare feet).
And then I cleaned up that mess, changed the damn bulbs anyway, and discovered that it wasn’t the bulbs themselves, but the fixture, that’s shot to hell and needs to be changed out.

You know what? Literally the ONLY problem with this is that the box is smaller than average, and thus contains less product.

A nice warm day
You have no idea how much a nice warm day – and by “warm” I mean “65 degrees with a pretty good wind so we’re probably talking about 62 tops” – is welcome after several weeks of near-constant snow and ice. Since the beginning of the year one could be excused for thinking we’ve gone through more icing than a cake shop. Anyway, the cumulative effect of a relatively nice warm day was… happy faces.

Lasagnasaurus Rex
Me and the boy made what I think we’ll wind up calling Boys’ Night Lasagna tonight. We started with what seemed like a perfectly reasonable recipe. I realized I’d have to make Ingenious Substitutions for some ingredients. We also decided along the way that it needed the kitchen sink and more cowbell, and that we were going to take the wrong turn at Albuquerque.
His mother’s either going to love us or she’s going to kill us both in our sleep. Either way, we’ve gotta heap of homemade lasagna.… Read more
