13 Of The Boy’s Favorite Words and Phrases
Having no idea what to post for this week’s Thursday, I asked The Boy for help. This is what I got. 1. Perfabilastic – perfect, fantastic etc put together. 2. Brutal 3. Metal 4. Nukingfutz – which I still think is a swear word regardless of what he has to say. 5. Why do today what you can put off until tomorrow. 6. It’s better to burn out than to fade away. 7. I don’t think about the future, it […]
13 Things My Kids Have Said.
My kids keep me entertained. Check out some of the things they’ve said in the last three or four months. 1. The Girl: The tongue is what happens when you don’t have any bones. 2.

No. Now I realize that I […]

It’s been a long time since I’ve spent any significant time at my desk. so I’m not looking at the stuff on it. Instead, I’m settled in an easy chair in the living room.

13 Songs
Now and then I like to go over to YouTube and just click around to see where I might end up. You know how they have those videos in the right sidebar? I’ll click on those at the end of each video to see what else might pop up. This is one of those sessions 1. From the “Browse” screen
13 Bottles of Nail Polish
When The Girl suggested I do a list of her nail polish, I visualized showing you part of her extensive collection and sharing the names. No such luck, I’m afraid. She didn’t like the little round labels on the bottoms of them and picked them all off. I’ll still show you 13 of her bottles, but as to the names, your guess would probably be better than mine.
13 Pairs of Socks
You asked for it, you got it. These are all socks belonging to The Girl. 1. This little footies. 2. For many years I was able to get generic tube socks in packages ranging from six to a dozen. These are great because they mix and match randomly so you never have to worry about one becoming lost, and because the heel isn’t set in, they grow with growing feet. Then the kids mutinied. They wanted socks they could tell […]

13 Views of a Storm
About this time a week ago I was ready to head home from Christmas when a storm hit. Being an intrepid soul, I didn’t expect it to actually affect my travel plans, but I hadn’t counted on this one. Just to be on the safe side, we haunted the web site for the Montana Department of Transportation to check for road conditions. I love this web site. It kept us from getting caught on a road that was closed due […]
13 Happy New Year Wishes
This is likely to be a bit random, but there it is. Happy New Year! 1. I was tempted to go with Red Hot Chili Peppers, even though I’m not a fan, just for the kilts, and there’s an Oriental cover band imitating Jimmy Hendrix I like, but short and sweet won out.
A Random 13
1. Christmas came way too fast this year. Noramally I wait until the last second, then get all my shopping done in a whirlwind. This time I tried to get it all done ahead of time, and now I’m still dealing with wrapping, and I’ve lost a gift. It’s around here somewhere. 2. I’m suffering sleep deprivation. Have been ever since the eclipse. 3. Anyone else stay up to watch the eclipse? 4. Longest eclipse I’ve ever seen. I’m used […]
