• cold feet.

    I realized last night that Alyx may look dead on like her father, but her inner workings are just like mine. I came home to 2 teary eyed little girls. Shea knows the best place to trap me is in the bathroom mid-pee. She has my attention fully as she holds the toilet paper hostage….

    SPF: 1. Your Drinking Glasses. 2. Your Address book/Stationary (remember that stuff we used BEFORE email?) 3. SOMETHING NEW The pool yesterday went well. I got a little bit o’ tan and my nose is sort of red. I even played Marco/Polo with the girls. They laughed when it was my turn because they said…

  • Thursday Night…now known as “Family Night” was spent at the drive in. We had a rough start to Family Night as we were missing the oldest child who decided that Del Taco was better than sitting at the table with his family and eating. As we were packing up the truck to go, The Ex…

  • Happy Father’s Day

    To my Dad & Shaun’s Dad. To My Grandpa who passed away many years ago, but still is the ‘father’ I wish every kid could have. To my mom for all the days that she was ‘dad’ when my dad wasn’t there…and oh BOY are there a lot of days! To Jerry, Barry and Micheal…

    I spent the day with The Puzzle People. They hired me to come in and take pictures of their business for the ‘virtual tour’ part of their website. Last year I was lucky enough to be able to go with Alyx and her class when they got the real tour and made their name puzzles….

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.
