The McPhee family, sans the cats, headed down to the “Euge” (pronounced “yuge” and nickname for Eugene) for Memorial Day weekend to see Scott, Jen, Mason, Charlie and Indy (the raccoon I mentioned in my previous post).
After battling traffic for the first hour of the trip (we made it 17 miles to Wilsonville) we actually [...]

Dog Tricks

We have just recently been teaching Patrick & Izzy to beg. They’ve got it down for the most part, well Patrick does as you can see to the left. Izzy, she still likes to use one paw to balance.
We’ve only been working with them for a couple of weeks. Izzy’s kind of a slow learner, [...]
Herbs & vegetables galore
Posted in McPhee Family on May 22, 2007 | No Comments »
We finally got around to planting our herb & vegetable garden the other weekend. We did this for the first time last year, and felt we were actually pretty successful at it - we didn’t actually kill anything. We went way overboard on some (squash and zucchini) of the plants. We weren’t sure if [...]
The Furminator

Heather, Patrick, Izzy and I went to the market 2 weekends ago, their very first time, and we were strolling about as we usually do. We came across this booth that was selling some contraption called “The FURminator“. It obviously caught our attention immediately. What a horrible name for a brush (secretly I think it’s [...]
I am Commando

My brother-in-law, the funny guy that he is, just recently starting playing around with Photoshop. After reading my “Man down” post, which includes an image of Schwarzenegger’s movie poster for Commando, he decided to use a picture recently taken at Sophie’s birthday part, I believe, and insert my face (and balloon sword) into the movie [...]
Blackbeard’s got nothin’ on me

Due to popular demand, from my wife, I must tell the tale of a day when I sailed the angry seas with the meanest group of skaliwags you ever did see. See, not many, well none of you actually know this about me, but I did wear an eye patch at one time in my [...]

Wilco released their 6th official album, though they have numerous other records they’ve collaborated on with Billy Bragg, Jim O’Rourke, Scott McCaughey and others.I pre-ordered the album on Wilco’s Website. It came with another disc which includes interviews and video of the band practicing at The Loft, Wilco’s Chicago studio where the entire [...]
Artichokes don’t stand up alone

Heather and I made steamed artichokes last night for the first time. We wanted to see what the hype was all about, and let me tell you, not impressed. Heather steamed them in water littered with salt and onions for flavor. Once they were finished, we couldn’t wait to dig in. We’ve heard from several [...]
We’ve got a man down

So, those of you who actually read this blog may be wondering what made me the fine, young man I am today. If you’re not wondering, just pretend you are for the sake of this story. Much of the credit must go to my mom.
The story begins back around 1987. I would have been 10 [...]
