13 on 31

Today is my step-son Ryan’s 13th birthday.
He is excited because he’s turning 13 on the 31st, which, he pointed out to me, is a palindrome.
Okay, how many 13 year olds do you know of who even know what a palindrome is, much less care enough about it to get excited?
I know 1, and he is awesome.

Happy birthday, Ryan! I love you. 🙂

  1. happy birthday, ryan! wil, your love for your step children is truly admirable and will be something they’ll cherish always (even if teenagers get around to that jerk stage, most of us grew out of it).
    with love,
    christy

  4. Very sweet. It would have been my stepbrother’s 13th birthday, too, only he died at aged 8.

  5. Totally Off Topic.
    I got my first /. submission accepted yesterday!!! Muahahahaha!

  6. Speaking of palindromes, here’s one for you:
    “Al, let’s poop. Al, let’s dump. Ooops–not tons! Poop mud, Stella. Poop, Stella.”
    My brother wrote that a few years ago.

  7. HAPPY BIRTHDAY RYAN!!!! I wish you the best on this palindrome of a birthday!!!
    p.s- wil your such a loving father, your kids are lucky!

  8. The “I Spy” Halloween book has a thing about finding a palindrome on one page; the phrase is “lion oil.” My 5-year-old would not have known what a palindrome is without that book, maybe until she was older.
    Your teenage guy must be well-read. May we recommend “The Well-Tempered Sentence” for when he is older?

  10. Wil,
    Showed up looking for an update,not one here so i’ll come back later. Happy Birthdays and palindromes this week.
    Matt……..

GO WIL WHEATON! you rock buddy! 🙂

    Hope you had a good bday and don’t get stressed with the new teen in your house, he’ll grow out of it.

  24. Happy (belated) birthday Ryan! My b-day was the 31st as well (my 21st), so we know that all the cool people were born on July 31st. 😀
    Will

  26. I am still in shock that Wil is a leo and an actor without any serious drug, alcohol or mental problems. He deserves credit for not being a stereotype!

  27. Happy Birthday to your stepson! I was 13 once…about 5 years ago…anyway, I also wanted to say that this site kicks ass!!! Keep up the good work, Wil!!!

  30. Wil,
    Just stopped by again today to see if there was a new post yet, can’t wait till there is one. Go palindromes!!
    Matt…….

  31. My son is 12 and he plays with his willy all the time. One time I was like “Not at the dinner table!” then he ejaculated on his mom. No dessert for a week!!
    Let that be a lesson to you young whippersnappers.

  32. Your usage of fonts SUCKS ASS!!!!!
    You pussy! Good thing you were not on TOS, James T. Kirk would have bitch slapped you like the little girl you are!

    was that post to me?

  35. I think Wil is bored of us. I know I’m getting bored of not seeing anything new posted to a site that is supposed to have posts on it.

  38. *shakes head*
    I love to see Trek fans enforcing the stereotypes. When will people learn if you have nothing nice to say, then don’t say anything at all.
    If you are going to say something ‘not nice’ because it needs to be said then make it worth something. Make a suggestion how it could be better. Of course people like j0nkatz only know how to make themselves feel better about themselves by acting like out.
    As far as Wil being bored of you all… Well, he’s a grown man who has important things going on in his life, other than the website. I know I don’t blog when my life overwhelms me. I tend to do it afterwards.
    Besides, with lovely people like j0nkatz… Can you blame him?
    BTW, on topic: A very happy belated birthday, Ryan. And one to you too, Wil.

it’s in a book

I noticed something about the way I read books, yesterday. When I start a book, it's like I'm sitting in an empty space, completely surrounded by the fog of war. Over some number of pages, that fog is pushed back and the world in the book begins to populate the formerly-empty space. Eventually, that space is on the other side of a portal that I step through as effortlessly as I open the cover of the book. I guess I've been doing this my whole life, but I didn't actually notice and note it until yesterday.
