Happy 10th Birthday A Little Blog!
Back on November 4th, 2002 I made my first blog post. Ten years later, it's still going strong. Yes, my posting rhythm could, at best, be described as indiscriminate... but it…
The True Reason for Halloween
It’s not to relive our childhood fantasies by playing dress up… It’s to relive our childhood sugar rushes by eating Monster Cereal. Every year, I do just that very thing. And every…
I don’t think I’ll go into work today
Mother Nature thought our cars would look nice in a hard candy shell. Knock Knock

As the years go by I get more and more blasé about celebrating New Year’s Eve. I’m not quite at the point where I need to whip out the walker, but staying…
FedEx adds an artificial delivery delay, seriously?
When weather, traffic or other conditions delay my packages it’s all good and well. The shipping companies can’t be penalized when a package gets delayed due to outside influences. If my package…
Reeves Little: amateur jeweler
Well, nothing to do with jewelry per se, but I did replace my own watch batteries tonight. Over the past year my watches have been slowly dropping off, about one per month.…
Washington’s been buried!
There was a snowstorm predicted for Wednesday... but it waited until Thursday instead. I went into work in the morning for a bit to get some work done, the remote connection servers…
Farewell to a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend
My parents were in town for Thanksgiving and I've been enjoying Thanksgiving dinner for four days now, but it all started with Thursday's spread. (Before and after... yum)
