I ran into a friend today who’d been through a terrible car accident a couple of years ago. Through the vagaries of insurance weirdness, she received a lot of money from one insurance company, which she then was supposed to pay to another insurance company. She understands this and expected it and it’s no problem. […]

Accusations of Baldness!
My retort.
Wedding Bells
My brother finally asked his girlfriend to marry him, and we found out yesterday (I think he did it the night before). They’d been together a long damn time, and everyone in the family loves her and worried that we’d lose her if he didn’t propose. Now he has and we’re all happy. Also, while […]
Pig
I want a pig. I have for a long time. My wife and I keep saying that when we get out of our loft, we’ll get a pig. In the meantime, I drew the pig above. I used a silly Web site that has a terrible UI and claims that you can learn something about […]
Pissed
I have a friend who was robbed at gunpoint last year, a couple of friends who narrowly escaped a mugging a week ago, and another couple of friends who moved out of the city because they were sick of the crime. So this is small potatoes and non-violent, but it hurts. I was strolling down […]
Ouch
Sunday, I was supposed to leave for a business trip on the west coast. But that day, my wife felt ill and had great pain in her leg. That night and the next day was worse, so we went to the doctor. The diagnosis? SPIDER BITE. Well, bug bite of some kind, anyway. Fever, chills, […]
Spain
Put it this way: We were mainly in the plains. What does that tell you about the weather we had? Everyone kept saying how unusual it was that it rained every day and was cold. So… lucky us, we had unusual weather. But it was nice to see the aunt and uncle, and the tapas […]
Vacation
Hey, that “Personal” category came just in time. Family and I are heading off to Spain on Tuesday, and won’t be back until next Wednesday night (the 23rd). So no posts expected between now and then. It should be fun. Burglars Please Note: The alarm is on and set to “Flay.”
One Year
I’ve added a new category to weeklyrob blog posts: Personal I never intended to write about anything more personal than my opinions, and each time I’ve posted something about my actual life, I’ve thought of it as an exception. But I guess I should just accept that every now and then I want to put […]
Grace Kelly
She was pretty. Anyway, I was extremely busy the last 7 days. Turned 39 (thank you very much), helped put on my Mom’s catered birthday party (she’s older than 39), celebrated my wife’s 35th birthday party, and today celebrated our anniversary. Oh, and my 91 year old grandmother stayed in our bedroom while we slept […]
