How’s This for Explanations?

I am a skeptic. I like to believe that everything is explainable.Deb and I tried a little test. Guess what the other person drew, without seeing. 4 colors (red, blue, black, green). 4 shapes (triangle, circle, star, heart)
try 1: Deb tries to guess what I drew. Doesn’t get anything.

This Time

I passed over into the living room to find my three girls sleeping soundly. It was heart warming. There is nothing more beautiful than your wife and kids sleeping quietly while you watch a movie on your Macbook and drink beer. Tis the season. I had to make a post before this site started growing mold.Movies [...]

About three days ago my neighbor gave us a Christmas tree. Well, he didn’t exactly hand it to me but pointed way down the small mountain/big hill we live on [...]

Norway. This is where I live.

If you haven’t seen Michael Moore’s ‘Sicko’  and you live in the USA you might want to avoid it… it will only depress you. I just found a video of a cut scene from the film. This is where I live.

They take their time.  They address the situation, adapt and wait for change to happen. Damn. I am a neurotic freak here. I bust my ass [...]
