Ride Report - VooDoo (Top Spin) At Discovery Kingdom

Posted on November 19, 2007 - Filed Under Ride Reports | Leave a Comment

It’s great having a kid who’s as into amusement parks as I am, but there’s no accounting for taste. She’s still young enough that she loves anything that spins her and/or puts her upside down. Me, I need speed. Luckily, Z doesn’t smoke, :wink: so I need some time away from her as well. It’s in those brief, hacking, moments in…

Freeze Chronic Muscle Pain In Its Tracks

Posted on November 19, 2007 - Filed Under Contests, Fatherhood, Health Care | Leave a Comment

I’ve never been much of an athlete, but I do know a few guys who were. Emphasis on the “were”. This is what makes it so difficult for me to get Z into athletics. There are no real ‘jockish’ role models in her life. I suppose the closest would be our friend Thomas. He tore up his knees playing Hockey…

More On The Writer’s Whining… er… Strike

Posted on November 19, 2007 - Filed Under Living Free | 1 Comment

A couple weeks back my anarchist and free market credentials were (once again) called into question by a visitor because I thought the television writer’s strike was ridiculous. I promised a follow up on how I can be both for a free market and anti-union. Well, as often happens, someone else did it better than I could, so I’ll just…

Even Babies Need Some Time To Relax

Posted on November 19, 2007 - Filed Under Shopping | Leave a Comment

So I walk into my X’s room the other day and am confronted with the device you see pictured. In case you can’t tell, that’s a baby hammock from amby baby. You see, little J has been working really hard lately what with all that eating and pooping he hardly has the energy to cry. :twisted: It’s actually incredibly adorable and…

Philaahzophy Review Contest Results

Posted on November 19, 2007 - Filed Under Blogging, Contests | 1 Comment

Well, my review contest ended Saturday at midnight. Unfortunately, I received far more listings on contest sites then I did actual reviews. I’m not really sure what it takes to get people to review a blog these days, but apparently the chance at a $25 or $50 prize simply wasn’t it. Or maybe all the good writers were stuck in…

More Wedding Oddities

Posted on November 19, 2007 - Filed Under Shopping | Leave a Comment

Just had a knock at the door and was pleasantly surprised to find the UPS guy there with a package. Pleasant because the package was for me, surprised because I’ve been too broke to order anything lately. Turns out it was a groomsmen gift from the couple whose wedding I’ve written about before. No, I wasn’t a groomsman (thank God!), but…

I Must Say It Is A Good Day

Posted on November 19, 2007 - Filed Under Aahz | 1 Comment

Okay, more than that, it’s a great day - payday! Yep, I’m in a good mood and, other than that, there’s not really any point behind this blog post. Keep reading if you would like to share my joy, though….

Today is not only payday, but my largest payday in about five years. In other words, I worked WAY too much…

The Market Relieves Bathroom Blues

Posted on November 19, 2007 - Filed Under Health Care | Leave a Comment

One of my clients / roommates is disabled in such a way that he can’t use the toilet without assistance. With physical therapy he has gotten to the point where he can get on and off without trouble, but still needs help in cleaning. We petitioned his health insurance provider and my employers about getting him a bidet or similar…
