Emma could tell this story in only eight words. By doing so, h0wever, she would most likely omit some of the more hilarious details of this sordid tale. I will use her exact verbiage to sum-up each part of the narrative. Fehmeen, Emma, and I picked up Maheen (Emma’s Nani) in the East Bay for [...]

Teacher Becomes Student

Even though it has been almost two years since I’ve stood in the front of a classroom, I still can’t stop thinking of time in 43 minute increments. Why 43 minutes you ask? Well, that is the length of time for a class period at school. For example, if I happen to glance at a [...]

This is my blog. This is my blog on Eye Max. I’ve been tinkering with this thing in the proverbial woodshed for about a week now and I do like what I see. The learning curve isn’t as steep as I had dreaded. Go figure. Now if I could just get my wireless card to [...]
Moving Violation
Posted in Memories on May 25, 2010 | 3 Comments »
Over the years, I managed to earn five tickets for various moving violations. Two of them were for speeding in the Sacramento/Davis area. I remember singing along to a tape at the top of my lungs as I pushed the needle north of 80 mph and then seeing the black and white flash the blue [...]
Great SCOTS

Southern Culture on the Skids is the coolest band you’ve never heard of. I discovered them by accident when I purchased some compilation CD from (of all places) Hot Topic. It was love at first listen. I even went to see them in San Francisco several years back. Not only are their tunes catchy and [...]
Emma Being Emma
Posted in Emma, Family Fun, Fehmeen on May 21, 2010 | 1 Comment »
One thing you should know about Fehmeen is that she doesn’t like messes. That’s not exactly accurate. She hates, despises, and loathes a mess. So you could only imagine what was going through her mind when she witnessed Emma accidentally spilling some of her chocolate milk on our dresser the other night. At this point [...]
An Ode

Fehmeen asked me to write a little poem for her open house at school tonight. I wrote it before and after my Eye Max training session yesterday. The Eye Max btw is friggin’ fabulous. I want to drive it around the neighborhood for a while before I turn it loose on Al Gore’s information super [...]

My Top Five Most Recent Grins This is my 200th post to this blog. Another 8800 more and I hit my goal. The look on Fehmeen’s face as she discovered the wonder of iTunes. Better late than never. You-know-what from last Thursday is scheduled for tomorrow. There is a new episode of Glee on tonight. [...]
What’s Eating ALS Boy

Appealing options for my continued safe mastication have been dwindling these past few months thanks to diminishing function in my tongue and swallowing muscles. Gone are the days of chewing on a juicy steak, a double double (animal style), and even chicken parm. Say hello to more meals that include such staples as a tortilla-less [...]
A Quick Update

This morning while Emma and I were watching Super Why on tv there was a knock on the door. Lo and behold, it was my missing mount. Yay!!! Hopefully the wireless internet flashcard that I just ordered (and we need for the device) arrives before my eye gaze guru Amy R does on Wednesday. If [...]
