Me, Her, the Boy and a Dog

The adventures of me, her, my boy and our dog as we navigate life in a crazy world. We love the outdoors, sports, reading, playing, and of course, the Virginia Tech Hokies and the William & Mary Tribe.

Also, I founded the GoFightWinVT Tumblr, so if you're a Hokie, give it a follow. And, feel free to check out my Project 365 Tumblr.

Young men: If you attend this crap with friends who admire it, tactfully inform them they are idiots. Young women: If your date likes this movie, tell him you’ve been thinking it over, and you think you should consider spending some time apart.

Forgive me. I must start by pointing out that three years after a horrific financial crisis caused by massive fraud, not a single financial executive has gone to jail — and that’s wrong.

There is a kernel of truth in Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker’s claim of a “budget shortfall” of $137 million. But Walker, a Republican, failed to tell the state that less than two weeks into his term as governor, he, with his swollen Republican majorities in the Wisconsin Legislature, pushed through $117 million in tax breaks for business allies of the GOP. There is your crisis.
BTW the wedding pics look amazing, you and Gary both must’ve worked out like rediculous bc you both look in phenominal shape.
One of Ginger’s former co-workers. Damn straight we’re in shape. Well, at least we’re in better shape than we were last summer. I weighed in today at 187, down from 230 last July. I’ve actually signed up for a fitness assessment to see what kind of shape I’m really in. Can’t wait to see how that goes.

Poor planning on your part, does not constitute an emergency on mine.

Whoa! That police officer just ran that red light! He’s going to have to give himself a ticket.

We live in troubled times, with real people who have real problems. … Problems that have real but imperfect solutions, that I believe 70 to 80 percent of our population could agree to try, and ultimately live with. Unfortunately, the conversation and the process is controlled by the other 15 to 20 percent.

You may know them as the people who believe that Obama is a secret Muslim planning a socialist takeover of America … or that George Bush let 9/11 happen to help pad Dick Cheney’s Halliburton stock portfolio. You’ve seen their signs: ‘Obama is Hitler’; ‘Bush is Hitler’… But why don’t we hear from the 70 to 80 percenters? Well, most likely because you have sh*t to do.

Daddy, you’re going to heaven before Ginger because you’re 35 and she’s 28.
My boy, the five-year-old, last night at bed time. We were having a father-son moment and I told him that he’s growing up so fast and that some day, he’ll be my age and maybe even have kids of his own. He asked how old I would be and I told him I’d be about his grandpa’s age. That led to the above quote. He said it in the most innocent way - it was cute. I love his honesty and innocence. I wish it could last his whole life, but unfortunately, I know better.
