A Weekend In Photos

It was the perfect fall weekend. Despite Friday getting near 80 degrees and me turning the A/C on after work because the house was near 75 degrees inside(neighbors were burning so I had to close all the windows), by Saturday morning the cold air moved in. It was blue skies, chilled air, and a sense […]

Nice Weekend, Spooky Tunes, Looking Better

This was probably the best weekend I’ve had in almost two months. That heaviness I’ve been carrying around seems to have lifted. A major reason for that is that my 20-year old daughter seems to be doing better, her heaviness and sadness over the whole dog debacle is diminishing. She’s still pissed at what the […]

Another Weekend Laid To Rest

The weekend wasn’t bad. It moved along like it was in a hurry(as usual) to get back to whence it came, but that’s par for the course. That’s the nature of the weekend; here and gone like Haley’s Comet. Friday afternoon is but a distant memory(did it really happen?) I sometimes feel like it’s the […]

Weekend, Vacation, and Life’s Little Kicks To The Nuts

The weekend started out rocky. Found out Thursday that my dad is going to have to have a total hip replacement. After being in constant pain for what feels like a very long time, he went to the Ortho walk-in clinic in town to get looked at. He’s been having pain running down his right […]

The Weekend, Work Wear, And We’re Not The Party Animals We Used To Be

It’s been a long week. There were a couple days at work where we struggled to be busy for even half the day. Now I’m not opposed to slacking off for a day and getting paid to sit at my desk, read up on world news online, and wait for someone to ring the door […]

El Supremo

The week has been oddly long for some reason. Came home yesterday, took the dog for a very windy walk, cleaned the kitchen and dining room, finished up the laundry, then proceeded to melt into the chair. I was tired all day(ironic then, that I come home and do like 3 hours of housework.) I […]

Impetus

I’m looking down the barrel of a 3-day weekend. What better way to celebrate that than partaking in a couple libations? Founders’ ‘Backwoods Bastard’ was my first delight. 11.2% of barrel-aged loveliness. It’s sweet, syrup-y, and just enough kick on the low end to let you know you’re not drinking something mass-produced. I’m currently enjoying […]

Friday Thoughts

Some Friday thoughts: May your coffee stay hot, but your demeanor cool May your boss keep a liberal distance May the phone not ring, and the breakroom not stink May the copier not offer any resistance Here’s to another, week under the belt And at 5PM the traffic not vociferous For there’s beer in the […]

SEX=DEATH

No, this isn’t a pro-abstinence post. It really has nothing to do with abstinence. Please, continue the fraternizing and heavy petting. No, actually I’m just sitting here on a blustery December Sunday afternoon with the snow accumulating outside. We’ve been under a winter storm warning all day and will be until late tonight. We could […]

Ode To A Friday

From the 4th grade up to 9th grade my favorite day of the week was Friday. That’s not all together odd, really. I mean, I’m sure there were LOTS of people whose favorite day of the week was Friday. For me it started around 3pm when we’d get all of our graded tests and homework […]
