voice
This is your “I’m too tired to write drivel, believe it or not” video. You may not have seen this film in science class, but you know that voice. Read.

dandy lawn
I ought to be out in the yard with a weed eater right now, finishing up cutting the lawn. The weeds, I should say. After the summer-long heat wave, we don’t have a lawn any more. We have weeds. I cut them anyway because, even though the heat wave killed off practically all our grass,… Read.

wenlock
Even if a picture isn’t worth 1,000 words, this photo of a stack of plushies of the Olympic mascot Wenlock, whose name suggests dark incantations to raise the dead and whose single glaring eyeball is the stuff of my adolescent nightmares, explains better than I ever could why I won’t be wasting any of my… Read.

They started me off with charcuterie, a sort of ploughman’s platter of meats made by the Underground Food Collective.… Read.

martini
Capitol Chophouse is da bomb and I’ll tell you why: They mix the best martini I’ve ever drunk anywhere. The Chophouse was our second stop on this week’s tour of restaurants for Madison Magazine’s Restaurant Week, our semi-annual trip around some of the finer restaurants in the area or, as we like to think of… Read.

truckloads
Woke up at about four o’clock this morning to a massive downpour, lots of thunder and lighting and cats walking across my face, not technically part of what one would normally consider a downpour but it was happening, so I note it. Okay, just one cat. The other cat was taking up all the space… Read.

I was sitting here in an idle moment between watching zombie videos and wondering what I would wear to work this morning, because I am such a fashion plate that I have to plan how I’m going to dress up. Just kidding. I’m a guy. I put on the first shirt that passes the sniff… Read.
