Onword and Upwords by Dennis Brady

  • Paperbacks

    You can’t replace some things. I just started my vacation and last night I finished reading my paperback copy of Elmore Leonard’s, Riding The Rap, and I don’t have another novel to read. It makes me sad. Yes, I could… Continue reading

  • Exercise Equipment

    I haven’t become rich with age, but I have become wiser. At least wise enough to know that I’m done buying exercise equipment. I sold one piece at a yard sale this past Saturday and gave my last one to… Continue reading

  • Grand

    I think that my Big Green Egg pork bbq is the best I’ve ever eaten. Sandra agrees and she’s brutally honest(at least with me). So, I was a little surprised when Mike, my coworker, rated it a 6 out of… Continue reading

    Today marks the 8th year anniversary of the best years of my life. It’s Prince Will’s birthday. Happy birthday, Will! Of course all of my girls, including Sandra are saying, “hey, what about us?!!” Well, you all have contributed to… Continue reading

    You see the red 1 circled by the Settings icon? It really gets on my nerves. I can get rid of it and I want to, but I don’t want to. I know. I’m sounding female. In order to get… Continue reading

  • What Are You Smiling About?

    Dude, what are you smiling about? I just flipped on the TV on the elliptical machine at Anytime Fitness when the local midday news displayed a picture of a man arrested for something. I don’t know what. I wasn’t listening.… Continue reading
