Yeah, in the news again.. The last time this happened was (click here) and (click here too).
Okay. Ya got me. It’s really Photoshop and I’m just having a little fun. And yes, a looming recession? I’m pretty nervous. Man, just getting over the last one … was the first one I had to deal with as a working adult, and honestly, that one freakin sucked.

Meet Suwph (pronounced Joe). This is Megan’s first stuffed animal that she named. She has a ton of other stuffed animals, but Suwph was a gift from a classmate. And she likes to draw Suwph. She spells his name S-U-W-P-H and calls him “Joe.”

Much ado about love - guess one is never too young. I just couldn’t believe that it would be so soon. This very incident happened about six months or so ago, about when Megan had just turned four. It’s just been on my mind since and I figured I’d better write about it before too many other experiences overlap this one. Fingers crossed it won’t be that soon.
One night, we had just tucked Megan in bed and she was fast starting to fall asleep. Nothing like the warm feeling of sleep embarking - so I thought. It was apparent that she wasn’t going to fall asleep just yet, but instead, was hanging onto a thought. She stiffened slightly as she spoke to me in a soft voice and told me about a boy.

The dude that sits behind the big McDonald’s voice at the drive-thru window. I didn’t think it was possible, but I did it. I pissed him off. It wasn’t really on purpose. It was just more of the outcome of the event. I do understand that there must be some gratitude of great power to be able to hide behind the large menu board magically knowing when people arrive to then properly announce, “Welcome to McDonald’s. May I take your order?” leaving us just a little mystified wondering how they actually knew we were there to begin with. But just alike the great wizard in the land of Oz, when Toto reaches behind and pulls away the curtain, I know every powerful position has it’s limitations. Continue Reading »

So readership is picking up again.. yeah! clap clap! Slowly but surely. A handful of people are the selected few that clicked on an old stale bookmark and surprisingly found an updated page *finally* after four years of silence. Others are thinking, ‘Oh man! What a freak!’ If you happen to fall into the later category and just feel a bit more curious about this site. click on the Previous Entries link here, or above on the Menu Bar, and delve into the vast virtual-world of my life for the past 10 years - with the disclaimer on the past four of course. You just know there’s tidbits of happy joy sprinkled throughout…

“Hi Meggie,” I ask, “How was your day?”
“It was fun!” she screams. We giggle.
“What did you go?”
“I played with my friend Malaysia..,” she paused.
“What do you play with Malaysia?” I ask.
“We colored pictures,” she thinks to herself for a second, “and she likes the color green and I like the color purple. Purple is my favorite color, but I can’t color the grass purple, only green. But Malaysia, can color the grass green…” and the conversation sprouts from that point onward.

…Or was it, “The Other Boleyn Girl” I probably botched it up. Oh well. It was a cool movie, but that isn’t the point. The point is that I have not been to a movie theatre in years. And it really is just such an amazing experience.
It was last Monday and this IM zooms across my screen:
Elizabeth: hello.
PeterKnight: hi
Elizabeth: we have a date tonight.
PeterKnight: we do?
Elizabeth: the movie starts at 7:20pm Continue Reading »

Sitting on the commuter bus on the ride home after a tough day, I was left with no other distractions but to sit there and reflect. I projected my thoughts out to the blank canvas outside the bus window, reviewing them over and over as though it were to change the ending of an overplayed movie.
Clearly, it had to have been one of the tougher times. Something just had to be done - had to be an understatement. Continue Reading »

Megan is four and a half years old now. Time flies by so quickly and I can’t believe she’s grown so fast. She learns behaviors like a sponge and picks things up from wherever we may be. Sometimes we forget, but this constant learning is perpetual. And usually, ninety-nine percent of the time, these are normal. The other one percent, they are not so normal - but sometimes, they are just so fun.

Elizabeth and I have become quite the American Idol buffs. We’re big fans of the show. Actually, I think we’ve turned into reality show junkies, but that’s a different story all together. Anyhow, the new season just started and we’re pretty psyched.
Anyways. Weird thing. So Elizabeth wakes up and tells me she just had a dream where Simon Cowell was her boyfriend. Continue Reading »
