Due to the holiday, and construction, and basically the universe's joy in punishing me, it took something like 87.35 hours to make the 4.5-hour drive home from Gatlinburg today. At least, it seemed like it. Before getting wrapped up in all that, I thought these car socks would be appropriate for the ride home. Little … Continue reading Home Again, Home Again Jiggity-Jig

What I Saw On My Summer Vacation
I shaved this morning. Normally, of course, that would range on the Notable Activities list somewhere between “Clipped My Nails” and “Filled The Washer Fluid”. It ain’t exactly compelling news to start a post with, is what I’m saying. Believe it not, though, it actually is kind of somewhat notable today—if only today—because I spent … Continue reading What I Saw On My Summer Vacation
Some Days
Some days, the life of a part time writer is not so much about red carpets, adoring fans, or even pantlessness, midday whiskey, and the endless struggle to find a few perfect words to describe a simple thing with subtle elegance. Well, okay, so life is actually never any of those things for the part … Continue reading Some Days
Sometimes, Duty Calls
If you're of the "Dude, where you been at the last few days" frame of mind, I am here to shed glorious light into the shadowy recesses of your questioning. On Monday and most of Tuesday, I was in beautiful Denton, TX (and by "beautiful", I mean "North Texas-y"). A customer for the day job … Continue reading Sometimes, Duty Calls
Fulfilling a 30 year-old wish in one picture
Ever since we got back from Disney, a lot of people have asked me what my favorite part was, and to be honest, I've had a ton of trouble naming something. There just so much to the place, and so many things to love...and an equal number of things to strongly dislike. Not to mention … Continue reading Fulfilling a 30 year-old wish in one picture
My Summer Vacation, 2013: We stared into The Mouse’s beady eyes and lived to tell the tale
Hey there! Remember me? You know, the guy who makes up the seemingly never-ending stream of words that go here? You’ll all be glad to hear that I’m back and ready and rarin’ to go. Well, okay, hopefully some of you will be glad to hear that, at least. Right? Or a couple of you, … Continue reading My Summer Vacation, 2013: We stared into The Mouse’s beady eyes and lived to tell the tale
Evidence of my continued existence
I swear I’m not dead. I just had to do some traveling this week. I spent two more wonderful days in lovely Wallingford, Connecticut. But I’m happy to say that by the time this post is publish, I’ll be at 29,000 feet or something, winging my way home after a brief stopover in Charlotte, North … Continue reading Evidence of my continued existence
From this time last week
No time for a good, old fashioned ramble today. Kids to feed, words to make, yadda yadda yadda, etc, etc. Instead, I offer you this seemingly random image. A week ago today, I was in Wallingford, Connecticut for reasons. While I was there, I had dinner at the Old Dublin pub, which might just be the … Continue reading From this time last week
Gone Puddin’
I know, we haven’t talked in a while. It’s, like, I haven’t been around for the past few days or something. Well, actually, it’s not like that at all. It’s exactly that. I haven’t been. Around, that is. I’ve been in Connecticut. Yes, that state in New England. Because I had to do [redacted]. Truth … Continue reading Gone Puddin’
Posts from a plane: A day trip to New York City
I suppose the title of this post is, among other things, terribly misleading. While I did go on quite the day trip on Thursday, calling it a trip to New York City is about as accurate as saying spring is mostly here. I mean, spring is almost here but that "almost" ignores about a month … Continue reading Posts from a plane: A day trip to New York City
