The Glenn Monster has been better today. Took him to Target. He loves pushing the cart around himself!

It is like guiding a blind dog sled team. He pushes, I guide the cart. I have discovered a lot of people just like stopping in the middle of a aisle when they are shopping. Glenn dutifully rams into the stationary cart until it moves.

Other than that, not too much going on.  Everything we bought today was for him.  As far as I know, Glenn still has no cousin.

Tiff has had a really rough week with the Glenn Monster.

Too much hitting, biting, and crying.  I feel really bad because when I get home, he really doesn’t attack me at all.  He will still attack Tiff, but he rarely hits/bites/attacks me.  Even when Tiff goes out, he really just looks and plays with me.  I am not sure why the attitude is so different.   I have never hit him or been really mean to him.

It must be with how boys treat their fathers different from their mothers.  Being a first time parent is confusing, you are never quite sure if what you are doing is right.  We will get through this one way or the other, I just wish he was nicer to mommy when I am not home.

Updated a little wording on the front page of cyberphreak.com and added a short, new commentary to the words section.

Glenn was a bad boy today and whacked Tiff in the mouth with a book.  She is doing better now, but I am sure it hurt, a lot.  He has bitch slapped me before, then pulled my hair, in one smooth motion.

I am looking forward to him being a real boy someday.  I do believe that the terrible twos go from 1 to 2 not 2 to 3.  I may be wrong, I hope not.

I have been using SeaMonkey for a little while now, and it has been working very well.  The composer (web page) editor is very very good.  It even has a nice ‘publish’ feature which automagically uploads the page to your web server.  It makes updating the site much easier.  I like Quanta+ if I want to really get into the HTML, but for WYSIWYG editing, the SeaMonkey composer works great.

SeaMonkey has also been very stable.  One crash is 2 weeks.  The e-mail portion is much faster than Thunderbird and has ALL of the features of Thunderbird as well.  Pretty amazing in a 13 meg download.  My only complain it one of my favorite FireFox add ons doesn’t work.  Oh well, I can live without.  As long as Flashblock works, I am happy.

Page loading in SeaMonkey is fast as well, almost as fast as Opera, definitely faster than Firefox.  I can’t compare to IE, I don’t run windows at home to compare on the same machine.   Opera is a fine browser, but I really don’t care for the e-mail portion of the application.

I did a what I thought would be quick run to CVS last night to pick up some eye drops for Tiff.  I don’t know if it is the weather, or something in her eye, but she has had a little irritation.

When I got to CVS I was just overwhelmed with how many different eye drops there were.

It was not 10 or 20 or 30 varieties, I stood there and counted:

Ninety Seven (97) different varieties and sizes, not including varieties for contact users!

97.  Think about that a minute.  97 products that just do about the same thing.

Why?  The worst thing was, they all had different active and inactive ingredients.  There were drops and creams.

Being a man, I just picked up the store brand that was not a complete rip off and got out.  I was tempted to toss a coin, but I had no change on me, so I did eenie meanie miney moe instead.
