    One of my coworkers takes great delight in singing less-than-likeable pop songs from the 70’s. The asshole. I’m a live-and-let-live kind of guy, but I could cheerfully curb-stomp anyone who thinks it’s hilarious to resurrect pop songs that should have remained dead and buried. That’s one breach of etiquette that ought to be punishable with… Read.

  • smoked

    Do you smell that? Like cigarette smoke? Is it just me? It is just me, isn’t it? I can smell cigarette smoke all the time now. I think it started the night we went to one of our favorite restaurants to see a musical trio who appears there about once a month on the patio,… Read.

    Oh my goodness I was so busy at work yesterday that I literally did not have more than five minutes when I wasn’t busting my ass to get shit off my desk. It was almost too much of a change after a weekend of leisure; more than once I wanted to put my head down… Read.

  • vicious circle

    I woke up from a dream that my alarm clock didn’t go off. I don’t know what time that was because I didn’t want to look at my alarm clock. That would be stupid. It was just a dream. It was not real. My alarm clock would go off. So I nodded off, had the… Read.

    My Darling B and I were married twenty-five years ago in the Eisenhower Chapel on Lowry Air Force Base. The reception was in our dining room. She sure made that wedding dress look good! And then she shoved cake up my nose. So I had to return the favor, just to make it official. I… Read.

To be entirely accurate, I believe the weatherman was reporting something a bit less;… Read.

  • easy peasy

    Woke up some time before five o’clock this morning when I heard Boo growling or moaning. “Boo?” I called, to see if anything was wrong, but she wouldn’t respond. Then, because I was awake, I became aware that I had to go to the bathroom, so I got out of bed and, almost as soon… Read.

  • gone

    Our neighbor cut down a box elder tree in his front yard and now the whole street looks wrong! When I step out our front door, there’s a whole lot more sky than there should be. Change is good, but I’m just not gonna get used to this. Read.

  • smokin

    I was in a big hurry to get across town, but the traffic was horrendous and it seemed to be the day for every obnoxious driver to practice his particular brand of antagonism, like the guy behind me who cut me off when I tried to merge right. That pissed me off so much that… Read.
