I’ve been down with palindromes ever since I noticed that my eighth grade English teacher drove A Toyota and that 666 x 69 = 45,954. Post em if ya got em.

Don’t know why this bothers me so much … … but why do some Northern California drivers — about 1 in 750 by my unofficial tally — continue to roll around the ‘hood with their antiquated blue and yellow vanity plates on their newer model vehicles? Either explain your reluctance to conform or join the [...]
What’s in a Name

A collection of names from my past that I have never forgotten. Mr Hesslegrin – my elementary school principal Clover – choreographer for our high school’s production of Grease Bob, the Dancing Cop – took over the job when Clover quit Hugh Dingle – my Intro to Entomology professor at UC Davis Snazzy the Clown [...]
The Old College Try

Tried really hard to like The Big Lebowski this past weekend. Even though I was in a very ‘Dude-like’ state of mind, the movie couldn’t have ended soon enough for my tastes.

It’s hard to believe that it’s been six years since La Entrada’s first faculty super-group hit the stage of the school talent show in 2004 to perform ‘It’s a Long Way to the Top if You Want to Rock n Roll’ for one-time only. These days, Colin is an American citizen, Darrell, Mike, and I [...]

Life inside our insulated little ALS bubble took a serious and frightening turn yesterday afternoon. It was my choice to order the chicken quesadilla. I determined the size of each bite. Ultimately, I alone decided to swallow the piece that got stuck. The five minute span of time between when I heard Fehmeen yell, ‘Call [...]
My Daily Maths

I live in a nearly timeless universe. Actually, the more accurate term would be ‘time-askiew’ universe. No two clocks in my little corner of the galaxy tell the same time. Most differ by only a minute or two, tops. However, our bedroom alarm clock is set ahead by thirteen minutes. This isn’t that big a [...]
Work Dreams

Been having dreams about the glass company I used to work for from 1994 to 2000. No detail or subtle nuance of the job is too minute to escape the panoramic cinematography of my mind’s eye. I wake up exhausted from a long day at work.

My memories of our wedding — particularly the second of our three ceremonies — are as vivid as the colors in these pictures. It was on this date that I married the most beautiful girl in the world.

A former student of mine named Leah posted the following message on my Facebook Wall. hey mr. p! i hope you and your family are having a good start to 2010. (random fact: did you know the national grammar association declared “twenty-ten” to be the grammatically correct way of pronouncing this year?) anyway, this is [...]
