Forgot about UninterestingTestBlog. It was indeed just a testing blog used for blogspot. I've deleted it now. The jameslikesbeer.blogspot.com will, unfortunately, stick around. But at least it has big "this site has moved" banners plastered all over it. I'm glad you've found me at my new home Morpheus! (Oh, and I need to get that book back from you some time. We should do the lunch thing or beers thing or something) Oh! Forgot about UninterestingTestBlog. It was indeed just a testing blog used for blogspot. I've deleted it now.

The only one I'm aware of is my old blogger account (jameslikesbeer.blogspot.com). It still exists, but this website (FeelingsOfWhite.com) includes everything that was on blogger and more. It is the only one I (semi-)regularly update. Are there other pages about me that you've been finding? Yes, this is my one and only blog.

When I was teaching I would come home and wonder why I was more patient with the kids than Erron was. They would do something and I would be all calm and corrective and she would be ready to scream. It was only after spending a few weeks at home this summer that I realized that patience is really a resource that gets depleted, and everyone needs a break now and again to build that tolerance back up. This summer they have really matured though and I think when I go back to work Erron will have a much easier time solo parenting while I teach. Since this is a blog about you, I guess I should make it about... you. While Jimbo jr. may not do a shit dance they will surely do something in the first year or two that gives you two conflicting urges. #1 is to clean up the mess/remove the danger/hide the evidence. #2 is to grab the camera and hope you can catch that moment for all to see. Just try and get a few #2's. (for anyone who hasn't seen the video of Elijah getting the potty stuck on his head, that's a good example.) Patience is an interesting thing.

Yeah, it's easy to be patient when there's nothing on your nerves.</i> Yah, I hear you Liam. When you'd really just like to strangle and kill a human being (co-worker, spouse, parent, shopkeeper) you can just say "Hmm.. perhaps now is a good time to leave and be elsewhere" That doesn't work so well when you're stuck with them. And with dogs, they'll <i>never</i> comprehend. They won't develop speech capacity in a few years. I'm very happy & humbled to hear that everyone's enjoyed the first round of Tamdhu stories. You guys keep me posting :) People always used to say I was patient. Yeah, it's easy to be patient when there's nothing on your nerves.

Like Chad, I nearly spewed coffee all over my keyboard upon reading of the shit dance. Good work, Herr Keller...almost got 2 of us in one shot, and you didn't even have to be in the damn room! Not only a huge success, but in the event we HAD forcefully ejected java everywhere, there is little chance any of it would have reached you...unless it's some sort of coffee version of the magic JFK bullet. I deem your Tamdhu series a massive success. Huzzah! Patience is for losers willing to accept less than perfection!

I can almost picture your face when you came home to that. I've enjoyed your scotch-related stories. Good job! I almost had a coffee-out-the-nose moment when you described the "shit dancing".
