Just about every time a new piece of technology hits the streets, I get a little excited. I know I can’t afford every little gadget, but I like knowing that they exist. Well, not always. Sometimes I hear about some new little electronic device, and I wonder who thought real people might need the item. […]
I took Bridget to see Kung Fu Panda yesterday. We had planned to go for a while since it was her first day of summer vacation. I don’t mind going to see kid movies. I always look at a trip to the theater as nothing but escape so this was right up my alley. I […]
I have so many problems with Coors Light. I can’t stand how they take a really bad beer best suited for women and people who don’t want to taste what real beer should taste like and then market it toward me as if it’s the manly way to end a day. The stuff is really […]
Daylight Savings Time started on a very bad weekend for us. We had an morning commitment on Sunday, which meant we had to get up earlier than usual the day after we lost an hour of sleep. To try and help everyone get through the day, I suggested a trip for coffee and donuts after […]
I like to think that I will never outgrow my immaturity. I only masquerade as an adult because it pays the bills. I try to spend as little time as possible as a grownup. Working at a college has helped with that. Sure, the job requires pretending I have evolved beyond my teenage years, but […]

The group that hates our grilling […]

Since I come from southern Pennsylvania to the suburbs of Baltimore, I had to deal with unreliable frequencies and way too many commercials before I got satellite. Now I have a constant signal with plenty of […]
Bud Light has a commercial series showing the great versatility of the word “dude.” I have a new situation they can use – when you find someone talking on their cell phone while they take a leak at the urinal. Dude? A guy in my building was just doing it when I went to use […]
Vegas stories coming later, I promise, but I had to share this one. We had a stopover on the way home in Indy. After a long delay, they let people board for the trip to Baltimore. One dude got on the plane wearing a t-shirt and shorts. I pegged him at late 20s, early 30s. […]
I was stuck behind a car in traffic today with message on its license plate frame I have wanted to address for a long time, so here goes: It’s not a Jeep thing, it’s a douchebag thing, and I understand it all too well.
