A recent article on the Today page of msnbc.msn.com sure caught my attention. With my darling bride unemployed and consulting in a major swoon globally, I’ve always got my eyes open for a new opportunity. And since I’m no longer interested in boring, nine-to-five gigs, I found the article positively riveting.

We made opening day (October 10) at the Texas Renaissance Festival this year. We hadn’t done that in a decade or more! We went prepared fore wet weather, as a cold front passed by during the night. We didn’t have any rain all day, though. There was quite a bit of water in the low [...] Read more »

The old number of 134 pounds was summarily squashed by the new monster, weighing in at an astounding 164.5 pounds.

The fateful day has finally arrived. Although her birthday isn’t until next week, she’s now officially 40. And after that insane donnybrook mayhem and merrymaking boisterous party the Chile Underground may never be the same…
After an early start to the day, cleaning and prepping (mostly sou-chef chores), we got the house in pretty spiffy shape. [...] Read more »

We’ve been having a lot of trouble defining the name for tomorrow’s landmark event. The singular nature of the pretext excuse reason for this drunken debauchery bunfight exciting celebration means we can’t use things like “First Annual” in the designation.

Paula Jo turns forty on the 21st of the month. Yep, you read that right; The Big Four-Oh. (And to think it only seems like we’ve been married that long.) The end of August is a busy time for the Clan, so we’re scheduling her party a bit early this year. We’ll hold the Round [...] Read more »

Stan and I were done with our planned site visits, but not with the paperwork. Yes, even in tropical China, there’s always paperwork. So we ate a hearty breakfast, knowing full well that even the condemned get to eat something. The buffet was well stocked, and I tried out more of the Chinese goodies this [...] Read more »
