More Hooked on Phonics Fun.

I know that this will be a pretty obscure reference for anyone who missed the original George Bush Sr. years in the White House. His vice president was a man named Dan Quayle. Dan was constantly called an idiot by the press and they liked to hit the "incompetent loser" button as often as possible when talking about him. One day the press hung him out to dry over something as simple as adding an E to potato. I was probably the only person who found this sign funny, or who remembered Dan Quayle in the first place.

Halloweeeenie is Coming!

So I usually don't take part in Halloween each year, and I'm not quite sure what puts me off about it. You'd think that an epic nerd of my rank would want a dress up day each month.

After going shopping with my son, who is three, for a halloween costume I found myself a little more into the costume thing. He is in love with his Eeyore costume and wears it all the time, it may not make it to the 31st. I put some thought into what I would like to do, that doesn't require a seamstress or a Tony Stark sized bank account. What I came up with was Madrox, no suprise here. Luck would have it that some dude on Ebay was selling the T-Shirt for $7 each. He apparently had to do a bulk order when he tried to get some printed up and is selling the extras. For the first time in recent memory I am feeling the Halloween spirit, and actually have the day off for once too. Family trick or treat will be done for the first time and I am very excited to see how my son will react to free candy, at every house. Save for some face paint, people will probably think that I'm just being myself, oh well.

So here is a cheer to my son, who allows me to see the world through the eyes of a child. Older eyes sometimes miss the silver lining in things.

The Three R's, or the Closest Thing

Here is a quick little dandy I found at work a while back, enjoy!

Yes, I have been a bad, bad blogger. The last update was in, um, spring? I will try to put more thoughts and stories up on a regular basis to get me use to writing. Part of my new HR schooling involves writing on a consistant basis, and this will help me get the rust off.

See you soon, or in Spring.
