  • A Life Lesson From My Friend, Arthur

    I have a friend. Yes, at least one. We’ll call him Arthur. Arthur Featherstone, specifically. He just underwent knee surgery. The second in a year. Two knees. Each was bad. The boy is rough on his body. He commented today… Continue reading

  • Corn Beef

    It was not the wisest or healthiest decision to buy it in the first place. Impulse shopping is rarely a good idea. Especially when it comes to canned corn beef. But it was one of my “what the heck” moments… Continue reading

  • Tuesdays

    It dawned on me yesterday that Tuesdays are a bit boring. I was smack dab in the middle of one. To clarify, during football season and specifically fantasy football season, Tuesdays are uneventful. Anticlimactic. Long. Sundays are awesome. Football news… Continue reading

  • Proofread

    I was just emailing Sandra a note (isn’t that how all happy couples communicate?) and I looked at my typing to see, “This is the company we are suing”. Hmmm….that should have said “using”, not suing. Totally opposite meanings and… Continue reading

  • Warning Signs

    I was Googling heart attack symptoms at 4am this morning. An hour and a half earlier massive heartburn woke me up. Two Zantacs and 3 Tums later, no relief. Lord, I don’t want to die today. My fantasy football draft… Continue reading

  • Move On To Dessert

    I’m not the most consistent guy in the world, but I have learned that I can stick with things long enough to matter. In my younger days of naïveté, I would start things and attempt to stick with them. Diets,… Continue reading
