A little consultant humor
To celebrate my return to the road, here’s a little consultant humor to finish up the week. Those who share this profession usually don’t know if the should laugh or cry reading some of these… ARE YOU A CONSULTANT OR A PROSTITUTE? You work very odd hours. You are paid a lot of money to … Continue reading
THE RED SOX WIN!!!
THE CURSE IS BROKEN!!! Not only do the Sox xome back from a three game deficit, but they sweep the series. Finally, this really was the year!
On the Road Again
Yesterday I received official word that I am heading out to Chicago on Monday for work. It’s been a little over a year since I was last travelling for work full-time, and I have mixed feelings about my return to the road. My favorite aspect of consulting is that a change in clients is almost … Continue reading
My Fiancee: Biker Babe
Due to some ongoing technical difficulties with my mobile phone, I recently had to exchange it for a new one. Before the exchange, I was removing all vestiges of my personal life, and had quite a smile and laugh when it came time to clean out the photos I had taken. The one below is … Continue reading
The Curse is Broken!
Meghan doesn’t know it yet since she’s fast asleep, but a few minutes ago the Red Sox finally broke the curse! I’m not as huge a fan as some, but it’s great to see the sox finally beat the Yankees in post-season play. The last Red Sox hat I had as a kid was a … Continue reading
You’re Out!
We’ve officially struck out with our third Church. The “Church of the Little Flower,” while more polite with Meghan and telling her to “go with God,” does not care to play host to our big day. The recurring theme seems to be that you have to have a close relative who is active in the … Continue reading
Just Don’t Call Me Late for Dinner!
Meghan and I had a good laugh from this guestbook entry (look for entry seven). I’ve been called a lot of things, but never mistaken for a cartoon starfish! Upon further research of this “Patrick” character, I was a little sad to learn he is “not the brightest of sea life” but was pleased to … Continue reading
The New Look!
The “new look” for PatandMeg.com has completed its initial screening, garnering approval from my better half, as well as PatandMeg.com’s number one fan Kara! Please let us know what you think of the new colors and layout. Burgundy was chosen as the main color of the site, since this will likely be the primary “official” … Continue reading
Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain…
Much is happening behind the scenes at PatandMeg.com. We’re working on an improved photo server, that will allow access to our stored “life in photos,” as well as jazzing up the look and feel of the site. My talents as a graphic artist are, shall we say, lacklustre, and the current template for the site … Continue reading

Strike Two
I finally spoke with someone in some kind of position of authority at St. Genevieve’s, and I’m sorry to report this was our second strike with the Catholic Church. I had high hopes as I dialed the number for the Church, and instead of the answering machine that’s never answered, I got the “handler” I … Continue reading
How Not to Show Your Teacher You Care About Doing Well On Your French Test?
?Miss, can I borrow some tape and a pair of scissors?? ?Sorry, you?ll have to ask Ms. Verhille.? Of course Ms. Verhille gave him what he was asking for. It seemed innocent enough?though she did mention that it was suspicious he insisted on using it at his desk. Later she mentioned that she didn?t think … Continue reading
Is there a Father in the House?
After the saga with the Newark Cathedral, we thought we?d try a smaller church, and picked one where Meghan had her first communion. We assumed there would be no wedding planner to deal with, no exorbitant fees and hopefully a minimum of rules and requirements. All these things may or may not be true, but … Continue reading
Goodbye Summer!
As the calendar changed months, summer appears to have abruptly ended in Southern Connecticut. The high temperature for the day has dropped from the mid 80′s to the low 70′s, almost in the course of a single week. Yesterday was the first day I’ve worn a long sleeve shirt and jacket outside the house in … Continue reading
