Mishegas and B-Sides: July 2006
http://mrotzie.blogspot.com/2006_07_01_archive.html
Monday, July 24, 2006. Today a construction crew hit a gas line outside my office building. They also managed to nick the phone and DSL.working from home. It's thundering and lightening and about to storm, and my next-door neighbor Jim is watering his lawn . We're going to Chicago this weekend for the Pitchfork Music Festival. Time away and time with good friends. Mission of Burma and the Mountain Goats! Mike's job is sending him out of town way too much. This summer. I miss him. So does Oskar. Wednesday...

Mishegas and B-Sides: March 2007
http://mrotzie.blogspot.com/2007_03_01_archive.html
Wednesday, March 21, 2007. It since we had our elm tree cut down in January. The backyard seems so much bigger and more open. It's good and bad. There's a lot more space, but fewer places to hide. I wonder how much shade we'll still get from the walnut and what it will be like to lay in the hammock this summer without the elm above. Time to take Osk back outside and head to bed. I can barely keep my eyes open and I can't imagine how any of this post has made any sense. Posted by mrotzie at 9:21 PM.

Mishegas and B-Sides: September 2006

Thursday, September 28, 2006. Midnight Train to Roma. Our EuroRail passes from Paris to Rome arrived today via UPS! Good news - It's a 14 hour journey, and we were able to book two spots on the overnight train, so we'll arrive in Rome refreshed (before jumping on another train south to see Tony in Longano) and. We'll sleep in beds without having to pay for a night in a hotel (which, given that the cost of the train tickets, is a very nice plus). In news from this continent, baby AMFM has arrived! We're f...

Mishegas and B-Sides: August 2006
http://mrotzie.blogspot.com/2006_08_01_archive.html
Thursday, August 31, 2006. Yesterday was my third wedding anniversary. I read something on the internet a while ago, and I can't find it now, but it was a quote, something about how I never thought I'd be happy being just a wife, until I found out whose wife I was going to be. I don't know about the "just" - I don't think anyone's just. Fit That changed when I ran into Mike (or when he rolled his bike into my living room, whichever). Mike's punk rock is semi-retired now, and he likes to tell me that he's...

Mishegas and B-Sides: December 2006
http://mrotzie.blogspot.com/2006_12_01_archive.html
Monday, December 18, 2006. Anyway, on Friday, while I was picking up Mike's Hanukkah gift at Macy's downtown, I met Katy Gerdes. A designer from the most recent season of Project Runway. The only drag about meeting her was that just 15 minutes earlier, I'd been drinking coffee with Journey, another huge Project Runway. He would have died. Posted by mrotzie at 9:33 AM. Thursday, December 14, 2006. So, now that we've reentered civilization, here's what Ignatz and I have been doing:. I never watched Dawson'...

Mishegas and B-Sides: February 2007
http://mrotzie.blogspot.com/2007_02_01_archive.html
Thursday, February 22, 2007. A Pop and a Shiver. The title of this post refers to two things:. First, our furnace broke. Seriously. Bad enough we had to have our tree removed last month. Then last week, the furnace went and had to be replaced. What a spendy winter! You know what, though? It's just money, and frankly it would all be a lot more expensive if it wasn't. The middle of winter, so whatever. One less thing to worry about after Ignatz gets here. Getting rid of things, it's so freeing. We leave at...

Mishegas and B-Sides: October 2006
http://mrotzie.blogspot.com/2006_10_01_archive.html
Tuesday, October 31, 2006. This year, for Halloween, Oskar asked if he could be "a superhero, but the kind who gets to lay on the couch and smoke cigars.". How could we refuse? Posted by mrotzie at 6:52 PM. Friday, October 20, 2006. So, two days in Rome. We started yesterday. We wound through the streets to the Trevi Fountain eating gelato (chocolate for Mike and limone for me). The Trevi Fountain was stuffed with tourists (not like. So we continued on to the Pantheon as it started to rain. We hopped on ...

Mishegas and B-Sides: June 2006
http://mrotzie.blogspot.com/2006_06_01_archive.html
Wednesday, June 28, 2006. Bump in the Night. Two days ago I mailed off the check that means I now actually and completely own my 4-year-old Volkswagen. The unfortunate side-effect of this success is I've become paranoid that every noise outside is someone attempting to steal said automobile. This paranoia did not exist while I was making payments - it began only after the vehicle became wholly mine. Meaning: in just two days I have proven that our possessions will come to own us. What an awesome triumph.

Mishegas and B-Sides: January 2007
http://mrotzie.blogspot.com/2007_01_01_archive.html
Monday, January 22, 2007. On Friday, Kristy and I had a pregnant lady afternoon. We started with lunch and then moved on to pedicures. My brother-in-law had given me a gift card to Aveda for Hanukkah, and since my hair and skin are on some kind of hormonal freakout, I decided that getting our toes attended to would be the safest bet. So we're sitting there, feet all a-soaking, and in walks a deliveryman carrying two boxes that look. Like pizza but smell. Like chocolate. It's Dennis of Tank Goodness.
