Eight Years of Scrubbles.net
July 17th, 2008Psst. I never notice these things until they’ve gone and went, but over the past week this very weblog has entered its ninth year of operation. Happy birthday to Scrubbles.net! To celebrate the occasion, I put on my best metaphorical party dress and cherry picked a few of my favorite vintage (don’t call them old!) […]
Riverside, July 3
July 4th, 2008When the state of California recently allowed same-sex couples to marry, I was happy for the Californians but never really thought about how it would or could apply to myself and my partner. Never, that is, until Christopher (in a rare bit of spontaneousness) suggested we take a little road trip to marry over there. […]
Bunnies, Comic #11
June 27th, 2008A new Two Bunnies and a Duck was posted today that deals somewhat with boredom. Although the comic is coming along nicely, I’m just not feeling terribly creative lately. I can’t even think of anything interesting to post about on Scrubbles. It’s probably a weather thing. I can’t think straight when it’s hot. It’ll probably […]
We’re #3,584!

Whoa, Ho, Ho It’s Magic
April 21st, 2008I limped back from my Disney World trip last Saturday with jet lag, achy feet, sniffly nose and a dry throat. At this point it’s safe to say that I’m all Disneyed out for awhile. It was a fun and frenetic three days — I will have a more detailed report on each day later. […]

Two Bunnies #4
March 21st, 2008A new edition of Two Bunnies and a Duck has been posted. Kinda gross, but a lot of humor is based on grossness, doncha think?
By the way, we just completed almost a full day of planting and removing different vegetation from our yard. I have just one gardening observation: Ruellia sucks. Don’t plant unless you […]
A Dopey Illustrator
March 4th, 2008Most high school kids struggle with trying to decide what kind of career they’ll have, but for me the decision was a no-brainer. The idea that someone could make a living at illustration took a strong hold of me as a teenager in the mid-’80s — I would page through various magazines and take note […]
Stop and Smell the Daisies
February 28th, 2008A combination of busyness and lack of fresh inspiration is preventing me from posting anything here. Sorry. I will be back on Sunday, but in the meantime enjoy this shot of the lovely African daisies growing in our back yard and alley:
More Bunnies
February 22nd, 2008Posted another installment of Two Bunnies and a Duck today. This new one was done in ink. The lines are darker, making the words easier to read — but I don’t like drawing in ink as much, and the results came out wobbly looking. Back to pencil for the next one. I have several weeks’ […]
Tennis Injury
January 4th, 2008Today I invited my parents over to the house for lunch and to give the Wii a try. We played a few games of Wii Sports Bowling and they, of course, had a blast. Before leaving, my mom — an avid tennis buff — wanted to give tennis a spin. We were playing a game […]
TV, Kitty, TV
December 25th, 2007Today I take a respite from the holiday to share a byproduct of playing around with your new Christmas toys. Christopher got me my very own digital camera, one which even includes an option to record short movies. I turned the camera on and shot a pan from our TV set showing a Mercury Meltdown […]
A Merry Mix
December 12th, 2007Joyful tidings — the Scrubbles.net Holidays 2007 Collection is ready for your enjoyment! To be honest, I’m not too big on Christmas music. I hate all those songs that you hear every year redone over and over again. No matter who does it, “The Little Drummer Boy” is a big bore and if I have […]
Putting the ‘Ho’ in Ho, Ho, Ho
December 7th, 2007Things I worked on this week:
Searched in vain for healthy foodie gifts for my clients, only to settle on overpriced cookies.
Spent two hours at Borders looking for gift ideas and wound up buying a single cookbook from the bargain shelves. Most of my relatives are not “book” people, unfortunately.
Put in a printing order for holiday […]
A Mii for Every Mood
November 9th, 2007It’s been a few days since the Wii arrived, so now I can safely say that I love it. Although we’ve been logging some gameplay on the console, I have to confess that I’ve spent the most time on the Mii Channel, where you can create little avatars in the spirit of a virtual paper […]
