Am I A Husband Or A Project?
Posted by dewde in Marriage on 04. Mar, 2009 | 26 Comments
So John just posted a new entry titled I’m A Better Web Developer Than Husband. He says that he is not meaning to compare his wife to a “project” but it instantly made me think of the metaphor. Then I flipped it around in the comments and wrote the following.
The project is you, Husband 1.0. [...]
An Unconscionable Addiction – Part 1
Posted by dewde in General on 02. Mar, 2009 | 6 Comments
I first became acquainted with Bill in January of 2006. He showed up on a sexual addiction recovery website, which is run by a friend of mine, called Higher Calling (http://higher-calling.com). In the typical fashion Bill introduced himself to the community. Also in the typical fashion he told us he had been using pornography regularly [...]
This Is An Inside Joke
Posted by dewde in General on 26. Feb, 2009 | 24 Comments
Well, it’s an inside joke between me and anyone that subscribes to Human3rror.com, ChurchCrunch.com, or follows John on Twitter. So yeah. Inside joke. It doesn’t exactly qualify for an “outside joke”, but it’s at least on the porch (southern version) or in the mudroom (northern version).
UPDATE:
Human3rror has not only retaliated, but escalated things considerably.

In November we took a walk together as a family, Sydney on her bike and Savannah in her “car.” We ended up raiding a neighbors back yard for a spell. As is often the case, I brought my trusty Canon HV20.

God and Darwin and Me on One Knee

I can still remember sitting in the large, comfortable bus as we took a day-long tour of London. It was December and the contrast of cold outside upon the heat inside created a perpetually thick matte of fog and condensation on my window. I reached up and wrote in large, friendly letters the words “Stupid [...]
Video Project: My Family Portrait

Late last year I was surfing the best video site around, if you love HD and are an artsy-fartsy videographer type, when I stumbled upon this brilliant, heartwarming little video project called My Family Portrait. The first one I watched was by Clan McCloud, and I was inspired to follow suit instantly, but the idea [...]
Feeling Betrayed By Your Feed Reader?

My apologies. I accidentally published a draft. I have 18 of them at the moment and if I continue on my current path, each draft stands about a 50% chance of becoming an actual post. I’m not a power blogger like Human3rror of Church Crunch or Loswhit. I blog mostly for my girls and partly for myself. [...]
You Labeled Me, I Label You

I was thinking about our daughters tonight. Danielle from the blog 6yearmed, which I eagerly follow, told another touching and poignant story about young twin sisters, one of which is dying. She changes the names when she tells her stories and the names she chose caught me off guard and made me think about my [...]
Inauguration Day, Expletives, and Racial Slurs
Posted by dewde in General on 20. Jan, 2009 | 22 Comments
My formative middle and junior high school years were woven together against the backdrop of several USAF communities in the United Kingdom. Quite simply, I loved it there. I missed it after we left. And once, over ten years ago, I went back. I brought this girl with me, and I asked her to forgo [...]
