carrie
I can’t believe our waitress changed the channel right in the middle of the final scene of the movie Carrie. And right after we lavishly tipped her. We were sitting right there when she changed it, too. Turned our chairs around and everything so we could see Cissy Spacek immolate everyone at the prom. Everyone… Read.

tax
Not that you asked, but here’s my idea for a tax plan: Everybody pays the same percentage that I pay, and when I say “everybody,” I mean corporations too because, as everyone knows, corporations are people. This cannot possibly be class warfare. I’m asking only that everybody pay the same exact percentage of their income… Read.

consistency
To The Editor: In your editorial comment, Capitol Common Sense (Oct 11, 2011), you wrote: Here’s how a spokesman for Assembly Speaker Jeff Fitzgerald made the argument this week for allowing concealed weapons inside the state Capitol. “So long as the Capitol remains open, our members, their staff and the public have a right to… Read.

measly 20 bucks
I bought a coffee pot from a guy on e-bay. Well, no, wait. If I say I’ve bought a coffee pot, you might assume I gave the guy money and he sent me a coffee pot. You might even assume I now possess a coffee pot. I do not and, as far as I know,… Read.

faster
While I was driving around all weekend I listened to more pop music on the radio that I usually do in a whole month. A whole lot more. So much that I exceeded all my quotas and won’t have to listen to pop music again for at least a year, thank goodness. I think I… Read.

lull
Thursday night is guy night, the night I’m in charge of putting food on the family, and while I could have taken My Darling B straight home and burned some animal flesh on the Weber, instead I suggested that we spend the evening relaxing on the patio at Mickey’s Tavern with a couple of beers… Read.

bulb
While I was unloading dishes from the wash machine yesterday morning and so luckily had my back to the room, one of the light bulbs in the dining room light fixture went ka-POW! I jumped about a foot in the air. The pieces were still settling when I hit the ground. The fixture is one… Read.

dogs
I realized the Nazis were coming for us when their dogs emerged from the edge of the woods. There were three of them, bone-thin, long-haired frou-frou dogs, the kind that look like eels on stilts, and they snaked their way towards us with a practiced nonchalance, as if they weren’t the scariest things on earth… Read.

blister
It has been a day. Everything was fine to start with. Morning coffee with the morning news, one sucked, the other didn’t. While B got ready to go to the farmer’s market, I threw a load of dirty clothes into the wash machine and cranked it up, then went about the rest of my morning… Read.
