If you want to surprise your wife, it really helps if she’s unconcious.

My wonderful husband surprised me with a birthday dinner at one of my favorite restaurants last night. Our friends Ernie & Raquel and Brett & Laurie were waiting for us when we came in. It was such a nice surprise, especially since things have been really hectic and stressful. Rich is very fortunate that “hectic […]

Mike Update

Mike Brown has been released from the hospital after 13 days. He is going to be staying with his parents in Corona – not only closer to the hospital for his chemo and radiation treatments, but it’s good that he will not be alone in an apartment during this process. He says he thinks he’ll […]

The Great Blackout of 1997… or… Why All Bad Things Can Be Traced Back To Chuck E. Cheese

July 11, 2008 2 Comments

In a previous post I mentioned The Great Blackout of 1997, and that it was a story for another time. Now is that time. If you are from the “short and succinct” tribe… come back later. (This almost certainly includes my darling Rich.) You “long and verbose” people, come with me. In the Spring of […]

We got out of Dodge the night of the 3rd in order to spend the holiday weekend at the cabin. Certainly not a traditional 4th of July with block parties, swimming & fireworks… but this year with everything going on with Mike, we thought keeping it low-key was a good idea. (especially since the boys […]

Mike (Devin & Conner’s Dad) is still at Loma Linda. The tumor is malignant and was too big to take out during the surgery. He will undergo a few months of chemo and radiation in order to shrink the tumor so that they can remove it. Once they do that, they’ll know a bit more […]

Covering his bases.

June 28, 2008 Leave a Comment

I sent the boys and a friend to the movies today (keepin’ em busy) and I told them if they followed my directions (basically: be good) I’d take them for ice cream afterwards. When I picked them up I learned that in addition to the snack bags they smuggled into the theater, Conner and Erik […]

My Target has a pharmacy but needs a bigger booze section.

The boys had a video game mission. Knowing what could happen, I still took all four boys shopping. Cocktail hour will be arriving earlier than usual today. Devin: Gave up on his dream of saving for his own personal XBox 360 and wanted to spend $40 of his allowance (NOW!!!) on a game for his […]
