As with many things I do, it seemed like a good idea at the time. On a grocery store trip a long time ago, my wife brought home an apple-flavored trail mix, granola sort of thing from the bulk food aisle. Since I always think I have the discipline to improve myself, I took a […]
I had to travel for work recently. I don’t have to do this often so it still has some novelty involved. I have a few traditions for these trips. I try to sample as many local beers as I can. I have at least one room service dinner. And I always take good notes on […]
When I made my confession, I figured I would end up as the bad guy in the scenario. It turns out that I had completely misjudged the situation. My daughter made a special request for one of my wife’s recent trips to the grocery store. Bridget wanted Jell-O, like any good American kid does. So […]
As a kid, I loved the show, “The A Team.” The program fell right into my wheelhouse – great action, a token female character to run around, Mr. T and his catch phrases. But one of the great parts of the show would come when Hannibal, the leader of the group played by George Peppard, […]
The real winner in the trio of watchable Tuesday comedies on Fox was the list of guest stars. Between “Brooklyn Nine-Nine,” “New Girl” and “The Mindy Project,” we had a cavalcade of stars joining the regular cast members.

The show, which I have been with since it premiered, had really started to get on my nerves. I’m not the only one bugged by the constant fakeouts, unnecessary tangents and […]
This is a new and hopefully regular kind of post about what I watched on TV the previous night. There will be spoilers so don’t complain. The new TV season kicked off for me last night when Fox premiered its Tuesday night comedy block. I already had “New Girl” and “The Mindy Project” written in […]
I have been horrible at keeping up with these. I’m going to try and catch up on the last nine months or so of reading. When I used to have satellite radio, I ended up using the function that alerted you when your favorite artist was playing mainly for comedians. Near the top of that […]
Sometimes I wonder what I have become. I still think I have my usual fun outlook on life most of the time, but come across moments where I don’t recognize myself. That happened recently when I had one of those special opportunities I get a few times each year. My wife and daughter went away […]
I knew the look in her eye. I have seen it a lot in recent years as I found myself more involved in community events. The look told me that the brain was saying, “I know I can do this, but I have so many other things to do, but I really know I can […]
