I had a spike in viewership today, alerted by my stats facility, and I discovered that someone had linked yesterday’s post in the Etiquette Hell forums. Welcome everyone! Enjoy the visit.

Neighborhood Fun
Some of you reading this may disagree on the amusement aspect of the described events, but let me emphasize up front that the parties involved made/make every effort to discourage people from unsafe decisions. I live in a neighborhood that looks like this when it snows. We don’t get snow very often here in the …
Banner Day for Griffin!
Yesterday Griffin crawled for the first time. At least, by our definition of crawling. He’s been commando crawling a.k.a. “naga-ing” for a week now. Our crawling threshold was “two repeats of hand-foot, hand-foot” movement. He did that yesterday. Run for the hills! It’s time to baby-proof the house. Update: Whoops. I put the embed link …
Classic Movie Night
We’ve been having fun with a monthly movie night at our place for the past while. It’s a good opportunity to have friends over and watch various “classic” ((Our rule for the definition of “classic” is that the movie must be old enough to run for president.)) movies or movies that everyone should see. So …
Georgia General Assembly 2014
The 40 most dangerous days of the year are about to start. The Georgia General Assembly is back in session this coming Monday, January 13, 2014. It will be a short 40 days this year, however, because the primaries are on May 14, 2014. Why does that matter? Because this is an election year and …
Marietta National Military Cemetery
I took a stroll through the Marietta National Military Cemetery on Saturday morning. This cemetery, located in the heart of historic Marietta, was created to bury approximately 10,000 Union dead from General Sherman’s Army of the Tennessee. Immediately after the Civil War, the owner of the property, Henry Cole, wanted to use it to co-bury …
Blog Comment Spam
Everybody gets spam emails. I you happen to run a website that allows comments, you’ll also get spam comments. They amuse me because they make an effort to have it sound like its real stuff, to get the past filters, but it’s stuff like this. Magnificent beat ! I would like to apprentice while you …
SR 400 After Tolls -and- Traffic Data for the Win!
A couple weeks ago, Jenn texted me at work and asked if I’d heard that the traffic on SR 400 had increased by 30% after the tolls came down. Apparently one of her co-workers had heard that number recently and wanted to know if it was true. I had not heard, but I have resources …

The Smile
This is the smile that melts my heart. It always starts off a bit lopsided and then gets full face. I’m resigned that every picture I take of Griffin in the next while will have drool in it. I’m still figuring out how to run my lighting. For reference, these pictures were taken in the …
Superstructure!
Griffin is already a handy guy to have around the house. For example, he spent time in his second month of life looking for a good game to give to the family for Christmas. His solution? Superstructure! An Indiegogo-funded game which you can check out at their website. It’s a competitive game of building things …
