Time off?
Dezmond has not made his arrival yet. Bugger! No matter, I have plenty of time off and because I’ll be working tomorrow morning I can take an afternoon off whenever I wish, so long as it’s not a meeting day or summit or such . . . so probably sometime…

Missionary position
The truth is, I’m not ambitious, which is a far cry from being unambitious although I’m not entirely sure how to explain it. I don’t need a fancy title, I don’t need glory nor fame nor infamy for that matter. I’m OK with the money I make and mostly don’t…

It’s 8:13 p.m. on Oct. 13, no matter what day the blog says it is. I’m sitting in my office surrounded by cobwebs, family photos and creepy dolls. Not scary enough. I figured I’d come decorate a bit while I was waiting for the boys to get out of the…

A typical moment in the life of Tripping Raul
While at our fav Sunday afternoon digs, The Old Man, I get an anonymous call on my work phone. Most intriguing! I answer, “This is My Name,” and an elderly woman demands, “What channel is the Broncos on????” I turn to D and ask. “Channel 4,” I tell her. “What time?”…

Sorry he asked . . .
Demon Spawn sits across from me at lunch and asks the age-old question, “Mom, if you were to live in any other decade, what would it be?” “I have the feeling I have lived in other decades and I kind of like this one,” says I. “No, but what would…

The best day at work everrrrrrr!
Yesterday was absolutely, positively the bestest day at work, like, ever. I came back from my vacation to find that Ken and Jon had conspired against me! YES!!!! Evidently, the topic of my failure to put a photo of ‘me’ on the website came up at staff meeting Monday in my…
