• Because I said so…it just doesn’t fly anymore.

    A couple of years ago Shaun’s Dad had a heart attack. He recovered, but it took some time. During his recovery, we heard, “Your father is recovering from a heart attack so we won’t be able to (insert anything here)” Then we sort of used it to explain his grumpiness; “He’s recovering from a heart…

  • It’s 5:00 somewhere…

Why I Started My Personal Blog

I started Random and Odd back in 2002 or so because it was all the rage and my mom and sister were perpetually online either playing games or finding recipes.
I decided that I wanted to be able to write what I was going through as a parent and keep them updated on what the girls were saying or doing. It started out just a way for me to vent, rant or laugh about life.
It turned into more when other people outside of my mom and sister started reading it and through the years it was just a place for Stuff Portrait Fridays, meeting other people blogging and making those people friends. It was a place to put down a photo I took that I was proud of and then it was a place to talk about the traveling I was doing. Now it’s just a dumping ground of bullshit that is swirling in my head.

I want to get back to writing, taking photos and traveling and doing a complete redo of R & 0 was needed to document.
Enjoy the minimalist look.
