Christmas Comes Early to Dwyeropolis

Posted in Angus, Holidays, Sarah, Sweet Pea on December 22, 2008 | 3 Comments »

We *may* have spent part of the day yesterday (when the ice giant Ymir visited Albany and bedecked the land with a frosty dollop, leaving us trapped inside, huddling together for warmth) unwrapping Christmas presents early.  We did this because (a) it doesn’t make much sense to drag everything down with us to Rhode Island, [...]

Halloween has come and gone, and Dwyeropolis is still laden-down with sweet, sweet candy.  We may have slightly overestimated the number of trick-or-treaters who would brighten (or darken?) our lintel.  And by “slightly”, I mean “by an order of magnitude”.  So, the bleak loneliness of my existence has been laid bare.  But on the plus [...]

The Beagles Have Landed

Posted in Angus, Calvin, Milestones, Sarah on July 27, 2008 | 2 Comments »

We have arrived in Rensselaer.  At the moment we’re just hanging out, waiting for the movers to catch up to us.  Cal is very fond of having an almost entirely carpeted living space, though his feelings towards the two flights of stairs are somewhat more mixed (as mine will no doubt be soon, once you-know-who [...]

Fun with Monopolies

Posted in Angus on July 23, 2008 | Leave a Comment »

Not so much fun: spending a half-hour in the automated customer service line with TimeWarner Cable, pressing the buttons I’m being instructed to press if I want to disconnect my service, only to get sent to the sales department, where I’m very politely told that they can’t help me but will connect me to the [...]

That’s Right, Pru’s Not From Texas…

Posted in Angus, High School, Milestones, Sarah, Sweet Pea, Texas on July 17, 2008 | 2 Comments »

…but Texas wants her anyway. Ready to depart for Pru’s first ever-trip to Texas.  It will be a three-way reunion:  Sarah’s 10th high school reunion, a Horney family reunion, and my long-awaited reunion with Whataburger. Are we excited?

Sweet Pea, Meet Sweet Potato(e)

Seymour Skinner: Superintendent, I hope you’re ready for mouth-watering hamburgers. Superintendent Chalmers: I thought we were having steamed clams. Seymour Skinner: Oh, no, I said steamed hams. That’s what I call hamburgers. Superintendent Chalmers: You call hamburgers steamed hams? Seymour Skinner: Yes, it’s a regional dialect. Superintendent Chalmers: Uh-huh. What region? Seymour Skinner: Uhh … [...]

We’re off to see the Pope!

Posted in Angus, Calvin, Catholicism, Sarah, Sweet Pea on April 20, 2008 | Leave a Comment »

Cal will be holding down the fort while Angus, Prudence, Petey the Penguin and I are at Yankee Stadium.   Knowing the Pope’s fondness for orange tabbies, it’s appropriate that he will be the one in the neighborhood when the Pope stops by later this morning.  Pictures to follow.
