Baby dinosaur egg

I was watching a special on History Channel the other day about Dinosaurs.  Not that big of a prehistoric buff but the show was watchable.  They showed little baby 3D tyrannosaurus rexes breaking out the their eggs.  Cute little snouts slowly poking and breaking through the shells as they emerged.
I was doodling later that night and ended up [...]

Bamboo isn’t just for Pandas anymore

Christmas presents are either an over the top smash hit or completely miss the mark when I unwrap them.  A gift is going to be my newest favorite toy or something I know will end up in the yard sale next year.  I hate to sound shallow and material but that’s the way I’ve always [...]

Snuggie Shopping

I wanted to write this blog a few weeks ago when it happened but since this adventure involved my Christmas shopping posting it would ruin the surprise.
This holiday season I decided I’d give Melissa a Snuggie as a gift for Christmas.  I know what you’re thinking.  “Gee a Snuggie.  Did you do your holiday shopping [...]

Hail to thee Chickn Nuggets

Over the past few years my wife has gotten more and more into fantasy football on CBS Sportsline.  It all started off with her signing up for my office March Madness NCAA tournament pool.  Once I explained how to fill out the brackets she hit the ground running.  So much so that she actually won it.   [...]

Fire and Ice. More ice than fire

It was an icy drive home last night.  We’ve been lucky with the winter weather holding off as long as it has but from the station to the apartment was awful.
Well, I should say I’ve been lucky.  Melissa lives for nasty conditions to hit the road in.  “What’s the fun of driving if you can [...]

Does this make Santa my Dad?

Before I begin this post I’d like to say a few words.
The last will and testament of Eric Winter
To my wife I leave all my earthly possessions. Do not sell them for drugs.  To my mother in-law I leave you the knowledge that you’re the person I love to piss off most in this world and the [...]

Shopping is done

I’m done with this season’s Christmas shopping and it wasn’t nearly as painful as in previous years.  I had my game plan on which stores I’d hit in which order based on a “strategic location vs. how busy they’d be “formula.  The gazelle sprinting across the Serengeti had nothing on yours truly zipping in and out of the isles [...]

New rating system

I’m not sure if this going to go down in blogging history as a stroke of shear brilliance or a colossal screw up to which I’ll live every day regretting.  I noticed the other day that WordPress has a rating system than users can choose to turn on.  It let’s visitors give a anywhere from 1 to [...]

Welcome to my world

I love Facebook.  It’s been about a year now and I’d have to say I’m pretty addicted to it.  My friends list is pretty meek when compared to some other peoples but then again I’m not a “add me whore”.  You know the kind of users I’m referring to.  That person you spent four hours sitting [...]

Cutting Board Run

The cupboard where we keep out pan lids is like the deepest depths of the amazon jungles.  It’s a chaotic jumble of metal and glass that I rarely attempt to go through.  I can’t tell you how many times I’ve avoided making a rice dish because that would cause me to do battle with the [...]
