Three Important Questions

1) Where are you?
2) Where are you going?
3) What will be expected of you when you get there?

The other playoffs.

Under normal conditions, I will take the Dead Things over the Avs, but I grow weary of Detroit, and am pulling for Colorado - in this series anyway. Oh, I should also mention that my Colorado roots run deep. Oh, and the playoffs aren't normal conditions.

Mail order normalcy

A cpuple of days ago the latest issue of my favorite mail order catalog. OUR DESIGNS, arrived. It has firefighter related gifts from figurines and wind chimes to firefighter PJs for the kids. I think my wife likes it more than I do. If it weren't for the ABC STORES catalog, she wouldn't read anything else - well almost. It is still fun to hear her say "I want that, and I want this, and that." and all of it is for fire/EMS geeks. It could be worse, after all we have some friends that got a hold of an old hydrant and put it in their back yard for decoration. It sure is nice to have friends that make me look normal.

Kinds of folks

There are two kinds of people: those who categorize people into groups and those who don't.

Wish List

I want a street-legal Zamboni.

Indecision.

I've changed my mind. I want to be a mahout.

Of course it's good. It's a monument to chocolate.

I volunteered to make the desert for a get-together with friends this Saturday evening and have decided to make a rather complicated cake. I refer to it as the "pain in the ass cake." Idiots call it the "chocolate ruffle cake." The beast has three layers, creme fraiche (chocolate and plain) and raspberry filling, decorative chocolate pieces on the top, and a chocolate band around the whole damn thing. I wonder if I was influenced by some of my daughters spelling words such as delicious, pastries, filling and crumbs.
