She did
Special day: It was on this day, twenty-one years ago, that My Darling B answered, “I do,” after the preacher asked her if she wanted to be stuck with me for the rest of her natural life. Little did she know what she was getting into. Or maybe she did, after all. I certainly like… Read.

Already?
Oy. The leaves have started to turn. Time to lament the passing of summer already. Or not. I was talking with Timbo about this last night, and he and I agree: Summer’s too hot. I like summer up until about mid-July when the temps get high enough to fry my brains if I don’t wear… Read.

Digging In
When I picked her up from work, My Darling B noticed the back seats of the car were folded down. “What were you hauling home today?” she asked. She doesn’t miss a thing. I made an early-morning visit to the local lumber yard to bring home some plywood to start Phase II of the great… Read.

Interview!
Went to my first job interview since I started my adventures in unemployment. Aced it. They want me. I’m hired. I start tomorrow morning. Kidding. It was an interview for a state job; the state doesn’t work that fast. But I wasn’t kidding about how well the interview went, at least from my point of… Read.

Gun/Phone
There are times I want to completely give up caring about political crap, like last week when the president said something along the lines of, “I’ll defend to the death your right to build a mosque, but I never said it was a good idea,” or any time Sarah Palin endorses a political candidate by… Read.

Redeye
Crap crap crap crap. I had a crappy night’s sleep. Really crappy. For starters, I couldn’t fall asleep. I still don’t know why that happens, but who does? I was dead tired before I turned out the lights, but immediately after I turned out the lights, and in the hours that followed, I just laid… Read.

Cockeyed
This is what I get for trying to save money by doing it myself instead of paying a contractor a couple thousand dollars to do it for me. Not that I think a contractor wouldn’t have done exactly what I did. He totally would have, if he’d wound up stuck in the position I was… Read.

Tried, Tested & True
I totally aced the tests I took yesterday at Job Center of Wisconsin. The counselors I was required to see there if I wanted to continue to receive unemployment benefits, and I really do so long as I’m unemployed, strongly suggested that I should take a series of tests, called Work Keys, to receive a… Read.

The Plan
Holy crap, there’s a plan! For months, even years, I’ve been asking people to tell me what the plan is but, up to this point, nobody’s sent me a copy of the memo. Now, finally, I find a news article about the plan for the war in Afgahistan … … or, maybe there’s not. I… Read.

Let’s Do Lunch
I asked my Mom to meet me for lunch today so we could chat a while over coffee. To give you an idea how rarely I ask her to meet me for coffee, after I got up from my seat to give her a hug, she sat down across the table from me and, barely… Read.
