It's my anniversary. Sadly, the entire house is sick, particularly the adults. I guess we'll be dining in tonight.

My wife has passed on the same sickness to me twice now. She's been sick for about two months, peaking and valleying. It's so lethargic around this house.

My wife has been coughing for the last two months. She's peaked and valleyed but it just won't stop.

I just shared my spiced Scottish winter ale with one of my best friends from work last night. It went over huge. In the absence of real acting around here, this is as good as it gets.

I'm too tired to think of anything here. Time to admit defeat.

I spent a lot on my wife this Christmas, but just learned that she spent three times as much on me. She doesn't care and doesn't want me to do anything more, but I sure feel like I should.

Last night I re-learned how great a live sport hockey is. My elder daughter sang the National Anthem with her school choir, so we got great tickets on the cheap. I also continued my streak of only attending games that end in shootouts.

It's my mom's birthday. I probably should have done something about that while she was here, seeing as how she only left three days ago.

My house is never the right temperature. I'm far too hot or cold, while never touching the thermostat.

As of last night, I've seen more of the History Channel's "Vikings" than I have the 2014 Minnesota Vikings. Which is to say, one full episode so far.
