The Year of My Socks, Two-Thousand and Eighteen
It seems as if every time I turn around, there’s another new way to dot the I’s, cross the t’s, and close the book on summer. It’s over at the Fall Equinox! No, dummy, it’s over at Labor Day! Screw you guys, it’s over when the distributors ship us pumpkin beers! I don’t know what … Continue reading What I Did On My Summer Hiatus
I went out on our back patio last night to enjoy the dwindling moments of daylight and the evening breeze with The Hero’s Guide to Saving Your Kingdom. What I found before settling in astonished me. We have… …made the green… …things grow! I realize that many of you are probably eying my … Continue reading A Backyard Summer Miracle
Some time last month, I realized that over the past two or three years, I had become a compulsive Did Not Finisher: a loathsome, dreaded heathen who frequently begins reading books but soon loses interest, forgets the book entirely, and moves on to playing Words With Friends instead. Become a DNFer, something the Puddin’ of … Continue reading Why I’ve (Mostly) Stopped Reading E-Books
Loved a show. So muchGulped it down, Solo-cup style Empty cup. Now what?
Yeah, you heard me right: yesterday was the best Monday of the year. Ordinarily, I’d argue that suggesting any one particular Monday could possible trump it’s 51 brethren was crazy talk on the highest order. Like, seriously, you’d be better off taking stock tips from the “magic” fortune teller that made Tom Hanks Big. It’s … Continue reading The Best Monday Of The Year (or Revisiting The Start Of The 2015 NCAA Tournament)
I have to apologize for not posting sooner this week. I was out of town doing that work thing Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, off having middle-aged dude adventures in Greenville, SC and Wallingford, CT (which is not too far from Hartford). Oh, and, for the record, "middle-aged dude adventures" means having too much curry at … Continue reading Getting Busy And Old And Exploiting Taylor Swift Songs
Also, Grammy Puddin's birthday was yesterday, so The Attitude and I did what any right-thinking father-son combination should do. We made oatmeal cookies to take her this weekend. Hopefully the snow that's falling right now will accommodate. If not, we'll be forced to eat them all ourselves and make more later. Because clearly only a monster would take … Continue reading It’s Snowy And School Is Closed Tomorrow
For whatever reason, I've gotten it into my head over the course of the past six months or so that Thursday night is cookie night, the best night of the week to dig out the brown sugar and a mixer and whip up a batch of chewy goodness. Or at least it is when you … Continue reading No Cookie Thursday
I’m this close (*presses finger and thumb together*) to finishing this pass of revisions on Project Hermey and shipping it off to interested beta readers who have been ridiculously patient with all the extra time it’s taken me. Huzzah! for that! But, it means I've got very little time to post today. I had leaving you … Continue reading Of Apples And Dinosaur Ambition
