Written by In a break from my usual inane rantings…….. ~~~~~~~~~ 30 years ago this month: My roommate at the time, Mark, had been out of town. ‘Yip, I’m coming in tomorrow night. Plane gets in about 10:00. Can you pick me up at the airport? Use my car. The keys are on the hook in the [...]

Monday ‘blahs’ at the office
I’m finding it extremely difficult to get motivated today. Usually, I can go back into the deep, dark bowels of the office and find someone to yell at, and that gives me a quick pick-me-up. You know, things like, ‘What the HELL are you doing?’ or ‘Why haven’t you finished that yet? You think I’m [...]
READ MORE »Enough chili for every man, woman and child in Ohio. With some left over.
On the phone last night, about 6:30 p.m. Yip: Hi dad, what are you doing? How you feeling today? Dad: Oh, pretty good. My legs are hurting a little, but I feel pretty good. Hey, I made a big batch of chili but it’s way too thick. What do you think I should do? Y: [...]

Yes, it’s another inane, somewhat inappropriate, and often times sleep-inducing report of my happenings during the last Diversity Weekend. Warning: The following is about as informative and entertaining as a head of cabbage. We cannot be held responsible for you screaming ‘Why the HELL does he write this shit?!’ and throwing your computer out of [...]
READ MORE »My Perfect Murder.
Picture it: I’m sitting here at my desk, squirming. It occurs to me that I’m squirming because I need to use the restroom. (Yeah, I’m kinda dense about some things. Frankly, some of you would probably edfanot want to ‘picture it’. Don’t think I’d blame you.) Anyway, I make my way back to the spacious [...]

Last night, with nothing else in mind for din-din, I decided to make a beef stew (pronounced ‘stoo’) type of thing. Aside: (This is important, people. Read it.) Whenever I have leftover veggies or beef gravy, I put it in a zipper bag in the freezer for times such as last night. After the bag [...]

After a kitchen remodel, I had an old (ancient!) dishwasher to get rid of, along with some other crap (not ‘good’ crap, ‘bad’ crap) including a couple of broken patio tables, a patio heater, about 12 feet of duct work, and miscellaneous (bad) crap. This was all stuff the regular trash pickup won’t accept. So, [...]
READ MORE »Dream? Reality? Damned if I know.
I’ve been gone for a few days, but, just like the proverbial bad check, I’ve returned. I’m not sure if the past few days have been a dream or reality. In speaking with my shrink — I mean, psychiatrist (not good to mention the word ‘shrink’ to a man during this cold weather, ya know) [...]

In spite of Doris Day singing Que Sera Sera in my ear, these burning questions (in no particular order of importance) have been keeping me up at night. What will 2009 bring? A new Commander-In-Chief, for one thing. Halle-fucking-lujah!! Goodbye, Mr. Bush. You will not be missed. (And a personal note to Doris: Sweetie, I [...]

While driving to work yesterday I stopped at the day-old bread store to pick up a loaf. I have sammich goodies at the office to make lunch with, but needed some bread. While touring the aisles in search of pumpernickel, my sweet tooth (it’s more of a fang, actually) started yelling at me. It speaks [...]
