crazy
The Crazy Legs Classic is on today. Not that either My Darling B or I will be running in it. We won’t even be in one of the fund-raising groups wearing tutus, drinking beer and walking at the very end of it, although the idea does have a certain appeal (anybody wanna join us next… Read.

perambulator
According to the National Weather Service, it’s supposed to start raining tonight and it’s going to keep on raining indefinitely. There is no end to the rain, according to the forecast. Looks like I should have spent all winter in the garage building a boat. So in anticipation of being cooped up inside for at… Read.

groundhog day
Well, somehow it’s Wednesday already. I woke up this morning thinking it was Monday. Yesterday felt like Monday, too. This is just the opposite of how these feelings usually hit me, e.g. getting out of bed on Thursday morning thinking it’s Friday, then fully waking up and suffering the crushing letdown of realizing the weekend… Read.

sticky icky gummy boogers
Sticky icky gummy boogers is what I got. After the long, cold winter of ice and snow we just came out of, this just doesn’t seem fair.

So, let’s see … how could the gods conspire to make this Monday worse than any other Monday in April? Hmmm … Read.

a visit from the axe murderer
We had a visit from the axe murderer the other night. We were both very sure he was there. He creeps into our house every so often with his double-bladed war axe that drips with the blood of his victims, at least one of which he killed just minutes before he broke into our little… Read.

changeup
My Darling B has a whole new attitude about mice since she opened her garden shed and discovered they’d pooped and peed on just about everything in there. Before she was on Mother Nature’s side, making me trap them live so we could release them in a nearby city park, but now that she has… Read.

stung
In an article about the worst places to get stung by a bee, posted on the community web blog Metafilter, this comment from userid sonascope had the most (har har) venom: Very few “bee” stings are actually from honeybees, which will sting you if (a) you step on or otherwise mash them or (b) dig… Read.
