Browsing the Twitter today I came across a wonderful quote that brightened up my day.
“
dcurtisj Why did I never before realize that Batman is, in fact, still living in his parents’ basement?
The truth has been told, spread the word about the dead beat bat.

After making the lego post a few days ago I got thinking about what I could do to make life easier for him when playing with all those legos. After and little thought I came up with smaller bins. Instead of one huge bin I bought 2 smaller bins that are quite shallow. He is currently on vacation with my parents but when he gets back I am sure he is going to like the change.

I have been working on this for a few weeks for a local Coven. It is all set and ready to go. They are filling it with new content and should be all done with that by the end of the week. I am rather proud since it is my second wordpress installation. I had been using Joomla and before that Mambo. What a difference WordPress is amazing. Why on earth did I not think to try it out before now. Drum roll and all that jazz, I present to you “The Coven of the Raven Website”

My son has a very extensive lego collection. We keep his lego collection in 2 huge rubbermaid tubs. I also keep in my living room a small table for him to play with them on. Every time he dumps out the large bins to search for a part it takes a few hours of us prodding him to clean them up. Today was the dawning of a new era!! Searching for a door by pawing though them not wanting to dump them out he says to me, “Dad can you dump this out so I can find a door for my house?”. Ok this seems harmless at first but you should know that the rule of the house is if you dump it out you clean it up. This phrase I have repeated many times trying to get him to clean them up. He gets points for that one but he still had to clean it all up.

Waist deep in laundry. I am not sure how all of it managed to get dirty at once. I have been working on setting up a new website for my wife. The first site I built for her was on top of Joomla. That site proved to be very slow and database heavy. This new one is faster and built on top of wordpress. Check for updates it will be ready soon.

I have not blogged in over a year. Partly because I am lazy and the other part because I was worried that my posts would not transfer over to something else if I ever need it to. I think I have solved both things. I have my own hosting for this now with my own domain. I also in talking with my wife have a new category to blog about. I give to you (drum roll) - Notes to Noah’s Therapist. Noah is my soon to be 6 year old son. On a daily basis he lets us know about the atrocities of humanity inflicted upon him by his parents. These things include not letting him wear snow boots and shorts to the store, bugs snakes and rodents are not allowed in the house, and my personal favorite making him treat the wort on his thumb because it is not his friend or pet.

1. Count how many kleenex you can use in an hour.
2. Solve all the X-Files except one so they can still make another movie.
3. Invent a new food substitute that will stay down no matter how bad it gets.
