teeny-tiny
I stayed in a “microtel” this week, which I guess is a marketer’s idea of making a hotel with small rooms and no amenities sound good, and as an idea it really isn’t all that bad but in practice there are so many things wrong with it that I just have to hit the keyboard… Read.

on the road
Am feeling much better today, thank you. The only remaining symptom of my week-long sickness, whatever it was, is that my sinuses still continue to decongest, a process which takes the form of me soaking one Kleenex after another by filling my lungs with as much air as they can hold, then blowing for as… Read.

sicko
Hi. I’m sick. I’m not sure what kind of sick it is. The kind that makes me cough up chunks of my lungs. Not literally, mind you, but it sure feels that way. I’m going to go out on a limb and blame this sickness on the coworker who came to work sick. I feel… Read.

bullshitter
Our president is a bullshit artist. Not the greatest. He seems to prefer quantity over quality, but in that respect, he sure knows how to crank it out: “The first order I gave to my generals … my first order was, I want this our nuclear arsenal to be the biggest and the finest in… Read.

stung
Did you know that most bees nest on the ground? Me, neither. And I never would have found that out if I hadn’t mowed the lawn last weekend. I should’ve skipped it and gone paddling instead, like I wanted, but nnooOOOoo. I had to be a responsible homeowner. I must’ve mowed the lawn a couple… Read.

cracked
The dealership we bought our car from fixed a cracked window for free. Now there’s something you don’t expect to happen. Our car has a sunroof. I have mixed feelings about sunroofs. I owned a VW bug with a sunroof, which gave the car a wide-open feel I liked, but I also had a Mitsubishi… Read.

For whatever reason, all the cats see me as The Chosen One when it comes time to feed them. There are two hairless apes in this house and we both have working, opposable thumbs, but I’m the one the cats circle and paw at when they’re hungry. The only time they bother My Darling B… Read.

immovable
Tim bought a new car, a Honda Civic, which is coincidentally the same make and model he’s been driving since 2008 but, while the two cars share the same name on account of their common heritage, that’s about as far as the resemblance goes. Tim’s 1992 Honda Civic is small and round and handles like… Read.

conspiracy theorist in chief
I’ll just leave this right here: “… many want to hypothesize that this is just a very clever stratagem, a distraction, in this case from the controversy swirling around Jeff Sessions. And certainly there may be an element of distraction, but I think following on the heels of the president making an equally astounding and… Read.

raffled
There was a meat raffle at the Robin Room yesterday evening, so we made sure our heinies were perched on a couple of their bar stools at about quarter to five, stacked a pile of singles on the bar and prepared to win some fine cuts of fresh pork. Here’s how it worked: A dollar… Read.
