So Robbie came into work yesterday dressed in a Santa suit. A purple Santa suit. Instead of the traditional white hair/beard, he was wearing a wig of long black hair, a fake fumanchu mustache, and an eye patch. It was apparently some sort of pirate costume. Sarah asked him who he was supposed to be, and he replied that he was Santa Claus. I then ( Read more... )

I'm beginning to feel that Regina's pregnancy is turning me into a pussy. I've always made fun of guys who proudly showed others photos of their wives' ultrasounds, yet here I am, posting Regina's. Then again, no one reads this journal, so who cares? Here it is:

It’s the kind of Mexican place where only Hispanic folks seem to patronize, ( Read more... )

After a few months of dually ownership, Robbie noticed something that was apparently a shock to him. He didn’t quite have as much disposable income as he once did. It seems that owning a huge truck with two gas tanks that gets about 10 mpg can be a little more expensive than a four-cylinder import, both in gas and insurance. In addition, he had ( Read more... )

Our office is located in a very...um, industrialized area of town. Suffice to say there are a lot of used car dealerships, liquor stores, and check cashing businesses. Most of us here don’t live in this area of town, we commute in from the further suburbs. Not Robbie. He lives in an apartment less than two miles from the office. During the spring, ( Read more... )
