2017/11/22 16:00 We are doing our Thanksgiving today. I have been cooking all day. Baby break time. My 10 year old grandson says he was imagining the "Lord of the Rings" movie with the roles played by presidents. He said Donald Trump as Gandalf "None shall pass! I am building a wall and you are going to pay for it!!"

2017/12/01 09:00 Watching Squawk Box on CNBC. All this talk about Bitcoin put the little baby Grant Scott to sleep.

This latest iteration of my rants and rambles will still be much like past versions. I will continue to share way too much information. I will continue to be as weird as always. I am most likely still incredibly boring.

2017/12/18 11:30 Nap time. Are you sick of super cute baby pics yet? The little baby Grant Scott and I offer apologies if so.

2017/11/25 18:00 Parade of Lights in the Village of Baldwinsville.

"Open your eyes," she said.

Mesmerizing the little baby Grant Scott.

Guess what my peeps?!! I am back. That’s right. I posted the latest weekly video to my YouTube channel. Keen observers might note that it has been 13 weeks since my last weekly video.

Fun with bubbles.

2017/12/18 10:30 Monday morning and I am back to work. New job but I am still working for the man. At my old job no one threw up on me. Or sat on my lap and crapped on me. Of course on the new job I can work from home. And if I had a water cooler I could chase my co-worker around it. Yes, new job beats the old job. Don't miss toiling for the Evil Empire.

2017/12/22 08:00 My new YouTube video has been posted.

2017/12/25 19:00 Christmas day.

2017/12/03 23:30 Bristol Christmas party. Fotobooth fun.

2017/12/23 16:30 Not feeling well today. I foolishly let my Nexium run out. Some serious heartburn. Told my wife she had no idea how bad I felt. Karen, bless her little heart, said she thought she might since she had been pregnant three times. Not the same of course. I have some serious discomfort but I appreciate her trying to make me feel better.

2017/12/30 14:00 Alice and I put together another Five Nights at Freddy's module.

2017/12/02 12:00 Kid's workshop at Home Depot.

Fireworks after the parade. Dunkin Donuts locked their bathrooms because of the parade. So inhospitable. Think it might be a violation of NY law to serve food with no bathroom.

2017/12/03 12:30 Wonderworks in the Destiny mall. 

Little girl and a big tree.

2017/11/26 13:00 I call this one, "Pinin' for the fjords".

2017/12/07 13:00 So, this happened today. I think I am getting a little harder of hearing - not as bad as my wife - but still a little harder of hearing. The little baby Grant Scott was sleeping on the couch and so my wife and I were talking in hushed voices so as not to wake up the baby. My wife asked if I could help her out by moving her boobs. I was like, yeah sure, back and forth, up and down? Turns out she wanted me to move my 'booze'. I had a delivery from Hi-Times Wine Cellars that had been sitting by the front door for a couple of days. Two bottles of Plantation and two bottles of Hamilton.

2017/12/02 14:00 Zoo camp.

2017/12/25 08:00 Christmas morning.

Tristan wouldn't get his picture taken with the gingerbread man because he said he looked creepy like a murderer.

Lunch at Margaritaville.

2017/12/18 09:00 I am going to see Star Wars tonight. I got my tickets on Fandango last night. I have never used Fandango before and I messed it up. Got tickets for Sunday night, last night, instead of tonight, Monday night. There is no phone number for customer service so I went to the online chat room. I was number 58 in the queue with an approximate wait time of 35 minutes. While I was waiting I got an automated call on my cell from Discover. A robot voice asked me to verify 3 recent charges. First was Fandango for $42.00. I pressed one for yes. I don't shop at Wal-Mart but my wife does. Next the robot voice asked me to verify a charge at Wal-Mart for five million four hundred thousand dollars. I knew my wife had been to Wal-Mart but it seemed unlikely she had amassed such a significant charge. I pressed 2 for no. The robot voice told me I had to wait on hold for a human. I was now in the low thirties on the Fandango wait. I wasn't going to lose my place at Fandango and I was afraid if I disconnected from Discover that I would be affirming the multi-million dollar charge. I maintained my double hold status. Discover was first to break the logjam. The human person was nice. She asked me if I was asked about a charge in the millions. I said I had been and she said oops, our bad, the computer has a glitch and sometimes puts the decimal point in the wrong place. Karen charged $54 not five million four hundred thousand dollars. With that resolved I waited for my turn in the Fandango chat room. When my turn came I explained I had the wrong tickets. The person in the chat room said we don't give refunds once the movie has started. However I can see you entered the chat room before the movie started and you have just been here a very long time. She credited my account without divulging any spoilers. I now have the correct tickets and Michael and I are going to see Star Wars tonight.

The end of the year approaches and Winter looms large on the horizon.


“October extinguished itself in a rush of howling winds and driving rain and November arrived, cold as frozen iron, with hard frosts every morning and icy drafts that bit at exposed hands and faces.”

2017/12/25 11:00 These guys are coming for dinner today.

Total insanity! Who takes 2 little kids to the mall on Black Friday? Elliott almost took out a blind guy. Walked into him. Hit him about knee high.

2017/11/30 10:30 My assistant is punking out on me. Sleeping on the job.

The whole daycare thing is easier with my helper.

2017/12/11 08:00 Double duty. I have to watch two babies today. I think I get paid double?
