My family drove to a beautiful home on the shore of Lake Huron today for lunch. Thankfully, the home is owned by friends (actually, my former boss — he retired), and they were expecting us. When we arrived, they had gifts for the family, and the coffee mug below is one that I think he’s had for years, but wanted … Read more
I am not a NASCAR fan. At all. However, my 8 year old daughter went through the trouble of searching through the entire “school store” to find a coffee mug (which I do like) that said #1 Dad. We live in northern Michigan, which is a fairly redneck locale, and so the only option she had was NASCAR. I am … Read more
They say curiosity killed the cat… Well, no dead cats here, but Nathan, I’ll open the door for you… [flv:https://www.brainofshawn.com/videos/door.flv 320 240]
I have many geeky friends. That probably doesn’t surprise anyone. This morning, one of them (I’ll leave his identity concealed, to save face) instant messaged me the link to a site he wanted me to check out.

One was in the “unicorn” position, and the other was placed just right to accentuate my receding hairline. That’s just spiffy. So, like any filmmaker, I decided it was time … Read more
I don’t know why. I know that I would like to wear it to work. And just one, because two would be silly. If you want one, just click on the photo, it will take you to an online store. Please buy me one too, because there’s absolutely no way I could convince my wife it was a good idea.
My wife has been working in the elementary school for the past month, assisting a special needs boy. He has a horrible background, and because of it, has the worst social skills I’ve ever seen in a student. At any age. And he’s a second grader. When Donna started working with him, he was violent, disrespectful, and quite honestly, a … Read more
I’ve mentioned before that I really, really like me a good LOLCat. No, not stir fried or broiled, but one of them there funny cat pictures. Here’s a random one now. Enjoy. My apologies if you get a ceiling cat, they tend to be a little risque. My issue, today, is with the commenters on that site. Have you ever … Read more
Because snow days are fun.
