Sticky Wickets

I don’t much care for, or understand, a lot of international sports.  Granted, I understand Golf and hope for the best of luck for US players who play the game elsewhere… but I don’t see the need for much unrest if we have a streak of poor performances.

What’s Your Vector?

I hated math in school.  I can honestly say that I was one of the kids who KNEW I would never use that crap in real life.  Scientific calculators, if I knew what they were back then, could have saved me so much time.  I needed something to help me out – I was a [...]

Manufacturer’s Rebate

Life is easy and numb sometimes, if you let your body grow cold in these little pools of deceitful tranquility.  You make mistakes and bad decisions, but they appear to drop to the bottom of your pool.  You take so much for granted, and start to question who is in control – if anyone.  And [...]

Tupree or not Tupree

I once had a best friend named Adrian Carector.  We were best friends since my first year in high school (he was one year ahead of me).  He was my sister’s good friend and actually saved her life, which is how we came to meet.  He was the friend that taught me about Bacardi 151, [...]

Suburban Legend

Growing up as a kid I was afraid of a ton of stuff.  You tell me a scary story and I would manifest it into existance nightly.  I can recall being afraid of the dark my entire life – the not knowing what was out there… because it was dark, you know.  I think I [...]

Carrion Luggage

Mercury Rising

Holy Healthcare Batman!  I am signing up for health insurance and gearing up for the final number that slides across my calculator… I figured it would be a goodly sum, and yet I was disappointed when it was just as I predicted.  Starting in November I’ll have the good fortune of paying almost exactly $600 [...]

No Where To Hide

All three of my children are sick, pretty much just with bad colds.  However, Sara has that asthma problem which is getting aggravated, Simon is also having tummy problems – thanks to tortilla soup, and Megan just turned eight… that’s all I’ll say about that. It’s an interesting dynamic here in the house with Sara [...]

Six of One + Half a Dozen of the Other = 12

Today (Tuesday) was my 12th year anniversary!  It was not full of fancy dining, flowers, greeting cards or crazy sex though.  It’s been 12 years – what are you thinking!  K spent her morning at church actually with her group of ladies that she meets every Tuesday, and like I stated in the last blog, [...]
