Irony

December 12, 2007 – 9:44 pm

Longterm readers will understand how ironic it is that I finally got this ornament from my parents to hang on my tree. This ornament, from a birthday when I was a kid, was while I was still O.K. with raccoons.

I’d make a horrible Dad. I know it. Know why? Got any clues? Well, in 2006 on 10-25 at 9:57 P.M. I posted my first article here on Brickblog. Why, I remember when this blog was still in diapers, I was excited to get 1 visit after posting oh so many articles. To date, I’m [...]

When I awoke sometime near 12:30 am this morning, I was startled awake by what [...]
