Golden Stream: Salvation

I went where I needed to go. I closed the door. I completed my mission.

Constant construction

My Granna Nana and Poppop came on an airplane to visit me. We had lots of fun, especially while constructing my new sandcastle!

Unofficial

I recently needed to work more on my official site so this blog has suffered as a result. Why the need for different sites? It’s not like there’s any one post on this site that would cost me a job or cause embarrassment. It’s more about keeping the professional persona separated from the much more casual rambling found here.

Big dog and Indy dog!

I went to visit my Nois and Kit Kat and Uncle Jarrod in Kansas City. I also made some canine friends while I was there!

Two!

It has been two years since we gloriously exited Rome.

Small words

So here’s the thing: I just love it when he says or yells “Ba!”

Too much in the sun

I’m back in sunny Arizona for the holidays! But what about late night beer and ramen sessions at the table? Better fire up Oovoo and open a Budweiser.

Boy escapes webcam

Behind my chair. Around his wagon. A flash of light running in the background. Did you see him? There he is again.

Late night ramen

A pain that never goes away. A thing that never gets better.

Sleep rituals

I check the stove, check the steel, check the boy. Sleeping, I dream of a cluster of crows.

And a bottle of rum

A monkey last Halloween and a pirate this year! Again, he did not go as Keats.

Awakened

Again the dream of overwhelming sadness. Dispelled by a tiny laugh in the next room…

I need better glass

Sneaking through the woods, spying on the boy’s first day of school.

I know everything I am everything

“You will be different, sometimes you’ll feel like an outcast, but you’ll never be alone. You will make my strength your own. You will see my life through your eyes, as your life will be seen through mine. The son becomes the father and the father becomes the son.” —Superman Returns

You know kung fu?

Your slippery snake style is no match for my agnostic mantis!

A perfect day for noodles

A little rainy and chilly. Just back from a long trip. Boy and I go to have some warm pho.

Sleepy yet?

Driving through the countryside, waiting for sleep.

Dell Inspiron 1420 and XP drivers

A number of people have asked me about installing Windows XP on their Dell Inspiron 1420 so I’ve set up a dedicated blog entry to direct things. The Dell Inspiron 1420 and Vostro 1400 share the same hardware. So if you’re looking for XP drivers, go to the XP drivers page I set up for the Vostro.

Number one son

One year ago today, my son was born. Happiest day of my life.
