So what to do, what to do? I was debating on posting about things I knew nothing about but figured that wasn’t original enough. Then, I was thinking that I could skip the day but figured, no one would really notice. So I think I am going to just play it straight and give my [...]

Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto
If only my little guy knew how much angst and thought I have put into his little mannerisms. He doesn’t of course, he’s too little. Why is that when it dawns on you that your parents really were right about everything, it’s far too late to matter. I woke up one morning a decade ago [...]

Tales of the Gold Monkey (mystery of the diaper)
Well, we got through the night last night and no sign of the “Big Blue monster who wants to eat his head.” I keep joking about that because it’s just odd. When I had a nightmare, it was the this or the that. I wouldn’t add that last part of “eating my head” unless it [...]

Still hot on the trail of the blue monster
Well, it’s been two nights and so far, the boy is sleeping. He’s still obsessed with the blue monster who wants to eat his head (Frankly, I don’t blame him. Would you want your head eaten by a blue monster?). However, I think we got it licked. We took a tour of the room, complete 27 [...]

Peoria Illinoisian has it right
One thing I love about other bloggers. When I am thinking that I should write something but can’t, I look around and sure enough, someone makes a remarkable statement. Thanks to Peoria Illinoisian for realizing the joy of the Masters Golf tournament. He’s right that it’s probably one of the greatest moments in sports. He’s [...]

Hello Darkness, my old friend
Yes, I am tired and I am hoping that Darkness, my friend, will soon be here to wisk me away to Dreamland. It’s been a tough week as the kids aren’t sleeping well. Yes, I know what the books say, let them deal with it, but when you have a youngster who cries out “Daddy” [...]

Warehouse district on the move?
That appears to be a bunch of news from the PJS in this morning’s newspaper. There’s a gaggle of stories in there today about the buildings and the desire to develop. They even cite what has been done in other towns as evidence that Peoria can make it work. Sounds great, but I think the developers [...]

Mud Rain
Yep, mud rain. I went to work, parked outside and came back in the evening to my car covered with dirt. And it was in the middle of Downtown so you know there wasn’t someone with a big-old Truck just back from the flats and some mud-boggin’ (I went to a car show once and [...]

Snow up north, flooding down south
And yet, Peoria will get apparently nothing. So there to all those people who bash on Peoria and say it’s in the middle of nowhere. Maybe that’s not such a bad thing. At least we are not going to get up to eight inches of snow like Chicago. Of course, we don’t have subways like [...]

Something wicked this way comes…
Well, tonight something very scary happened to me. It’s not earth-shaking nor is it something that just happened. I guess I have known about it for a while but kinda dismissed it until tonight. Tonight…. the song “Fire & Rain,” came on by James Taylor and I was grooving to it.
There, I said it. Ugh. [...]
