I came home the other day to an empty house. Maria had not yet returned from dropping Bridget off at her Brownie meeting so I had some time to relax before I ate. Two nights a week, I have to fend for myself. Bridget has to leave for activities before I get home so we […]
I remember going out to breakfast at like 3 in the morning once in college. One place had a huge breakfast special that I hadn’t seen anyone ever finish. I mentioned this, and my one friend Edge – who was an eating machine – asked me if I wanted to wager on whether he could […]
For the first time in several years, I won’t have any Halloween costume. No one planned a party at work, and I wasn’t home during trick-or-treat in town last week. I feel a little bad because I like Halloween even though I’m not fanatical about it. One of the reasons I like Halloween is because […]
Some people say that marriage is more like a marathon than a sprint. If that’s the case, I won the bread portion of our marathon a few weeks ago. For a long time, I have wanted us to get a breadmaker. Since I would have very little to do with the actual machine, the decision […]
Sometimes, life smiles on you. Today is one of those days. The Fox Reality Channel is showing a marathon of the greatest television show in history. My Big Fat Obnoxious Fiance Steve Bailey – who now plays Joe on Grey’s Anatomy – helped pull off an incredible prank on this show, which ran in 2003-04. […]

Eric […]
Again, a few days later than expected, but I think this was worth the wait. The gang from Tullycraft join me for a discussion about their new album “Every Scene Needs a Center” and just what makes them such an incredibly fun band.
I know I promised a podcast with Tullycraft by now, but I had a few unexpected things at work pop up and haven’t finished editing, etc. It should be posted tonight or tomorrow. In the meantime, enjoy their video for “Georgette Plays a Goth.”
I usually don’t impulse buy books. Especially hard backs. Double especially John Grisham hardbacks. But there I was in Target, on a mission for something completely different, when I saw the newest Grisham book, “Playing for Pizza.’ After reading the description, I picked up a copy and paid for it. I have never read a […]
I didn’t find out until recently that there were plans for a second Harold & Kumar movie. I found out today that not only are there plans, but they have finished filming and a trailer has already been released. People really need to make sure I get this kind of information sooner. The original Harold […]
