Miss your turn? Here’s what to do…

Today we were minding our beez on the return from one of our numerous errands. We noticed that traffic came to a complete stop for no reason. There was not an intersection, no driveway, no nothing at all! Well, apparently two older fellows had missed the turn for the apartment homes that one of them [...]

Dark, Wet, and Moldy Cubicle.

I was sick for about 6 months one year. Hacking cough that got to the point of expelling black phlegm. If you notice to the top left of the picture you will see there’s a huge mold stain from a dripping air conditioning unit. Tile after tile was replaced until I finally changed cubicles. Guess [...]

Selection anxiety with Coca-Cola Freestyle

I’ve had the chance to use the Coca-Cola Freestyle and I love the options but it’s not worth the anxiety attack. Once you get to the front of the line you are inundated with a plethora of options for configuring your beverage. As you are pushing buttons a line begins to form with anxious patrons [...]

Dumb Stranger Comments about Kids

When I’m struggling to maintain sanity out in public with my children, the last thing I want to hear is a dumb comment from a stranger. The one that really makes me want to rip peoples heads off and shove them up their rectum is when they say. “And that’s why I don’t have kids…” [...]

Crack-Fil-A

I used to avoid Chick-Fil-A. I realize now that was mistake, but let me lay the groundwork to my insanity. Growing up there was only one CFA in West Virginia that I knew about. It was in the Huntington mall and they handed out free samples near one of the entrances. As a principal I [...]

Steak Stats

This is not a steak but a sculpture of a steak at the Weber Grill in Chicago. Steak is the only thing that keeps me from being a vegetarian. Well, bacon too, that would be hard to give up. Come to think of it, it would be hard to give up fish and chip and [...]

Toilet Toddler Training Tools

Who doesn’t love potty training a toddler? In my opinion, girls are way easier than boys. We’ve only started last week and we’re already at the point to let him wear diapers the rest of his life. Our daughter found it exciting to use the toilet while our son thinks it’s a torture device. M&M’s [...]

Happy VD!

I have a long history of terrible valentines days. Probably the worst is when I sent my bride-to-be dead black roses. I ordered them from a fresh cut flower place online. I guess they cut them wrong. Instead of telling my fiancee that I loved her, I was sending her a message of death. One [...]

The Coffee Chronicles

I don’t know why, but I decided to start drinking coffee in 2002. Having just started a new job, I was finding it difficult to adjust to the time zone difference, recovering from the move, and dealing with new co-workers. I called a friend who had discovered something called a “press pot”. I started from [...]

Here comes the Judge (ment)…

It really bothers me when people, say you shouldn’t judge and then point to Matthew 7 “Judge not, that you be not judged. For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you. Why do you see the speck that is in your brother’s eye, [...]
