My Cup Runneth Empty
I mentioned earlier that I recently saw my doctor, and was bamboozled into submitting to a full physical exam. Well, maybe not 'bamboozled', exactly. It was for my own good, I'm sure. And there was neither bamboo nor booze involved, so far as I know...
A Foot Divided Cannot Stand, Particularly
I've often wondered whether anything could possibly make Mondays more unbearable. For a long time, I decided the answer was 'no'. With the weekend ending, the workaday grind picking up, the fuzzy morning fog, the time for playing and resting and slee...
Ask Not What You Can Do for Me, Sparky
I've decided I don't like really friendly people. It's not that I want to be antisocial, or don't enjoy a nice smile or warm greeting now and then. It's just that I've noticed a trend recently, and it doesn't bode so well for the hyper-congenial set...
With Friends Like These, Who Needs Doctors?
I find it interesting -- usually -- that every person has their own unique perspective on life. All of the factors that shape our outlook and opinions are different for everyone, and it gives us each our own voice. Most of the time, I think that's pr...
One Sure Way to Be Remembered
(If you're so inclined, have a gander at Monday's missive over at Bugs & Cranks: Why Does Venezuela Hate the Braves?. And if anyone can tell me why a certain South American country is collectively cursing Atlanta's ballplayers, I'd love to hear ...
Change for a Knuckle(Head)
Something has fundamentally changed in my life. I just noticed it today. I can't say yet whether it's a change for the better or a change for the worse, but it's definitely different. And probably a lot easier. I'll explain. At work, I keep these li...
Who Can Brown Screw for You?
A couple of months ago, the missus and I made a pact. We wouldn't buy each other anything for Christmas; instead, we'd do some research and after the holidays, we'd 'buy each other' a new television. (Of course, I still bought her a little something...
Sickened, Not Stirred
So, I'm sick. Stayed home from work today, sniffled around in my pajamas, lay on the bed and moaned to no one in particular, the whole nine yards. When I do sick, I don't screw around. This is the first time in a while I've had an illness of any sev...
Tales from the CVS
Near my workplace, there's a CVS pharmacy / drug store / convenience mart. I'm in there occasionally -- it's where I buy those Odwalla bars I find morally-disagreeable-but-oh-so-tasty -- and things generally look pretty much the same. Shelves full of...
Changing My Tunes
There's a game my friends and I play sometimes, usually when we're out at a bar. We don't have a particular name for it, but if we did, it might be 'Name That Tune-Singer' or 'Who Da Band?' or 'Goddammit, Timmy Got Another One? Whose Stupid Idea Was ...
Bearing the Bull
I find it interesting how my tolerance for bullshit changes, depending on the situation. And on who's doing the bullshitting in question. At work, I'm a big fan of the 'everybody gets one' policy. You can screw up big once, or make a ridiculous and ...
Romancing the Stalk
If I've learned one thing in twelve years of marriage, twenty-plus years of courting the fairer sex, and nearly four decades of being a doofus, it's this: There's a razor-thin line between being 'romantic' and being 'creepy'. Sure, the ladies love ...
