Homemade

Did you ever notice how different foods elicit different responses from people when you offer to share them at work?  For instance, I offered some co-workers a scoop of my perfectly delicious-looking homemade casserole for lunch once and every single one of them declined.  In fact, if I ran this […]

Take a Pea

Whenever someone has a headache or injury of some sort, why do they always tell you to “Put a bag of frozen peas on it.”  I realize it’s cold therapy for an injury, but why peas?  Why not corn?  Water chestnuts?  Broccoli?  It’s always peas. First off, I can’t believe […]

Christmas Vacation

Two of my favorite lines in Christmas Vacation: Ellen: “Clark, what is it?” Clark: “Some jackass riding my tail.” A closer look at their license plate explains everything.  *Illinois. To which the only sensible reply is… (My apologies to my friends south of the border.  C’mon, you do it to […]

Child-Like

I’ve been reading the book “Mastery” by Robert Green, the bestselling author of the book “The 48 Laws of Power.”  It’s really a fascinating study of creativity, genius, and the rules for mastering any field of study or area of concentration.  The book contains countless in-depth features of the lives […]

Cricket

A cricket chirping outside the house: “Oh wow Honey, listen to nature’s symphony. Isn’t it beautiful?” as you gently caress your lover’s hand. A cricket chirping inside the house: “Die mother-fu*ker! Die!” as you destroy the basement looking for it, finally grinding it into a paste under your shoe.

Excuses

Did you ever notice how life really comes down to doing what you set your mind to doing? If you don’t do that thing, you’ve really just made an excuse to let yourself off the hook. You wake up and say to yourself “I’m going to exercise today.” If you […]

Despicable Them

I didn’t think it was possible for me to like Kathy Griffin any less, but she found a way to out-do herself.  I mean, I pondered, “How could someone so crass, rude, and unfunny, make themselves even more unappealing?” And sure enough, in true Kathy Griffin form, she took things […]

Tick

Anyone who’s ever had a tick crawl across their skin knows the state of paranoia it induces. From that point forward, when the wind tickles your face with your hair right away your mind thinks you’ve got a tick on you.  The sun casts a leaf shadow on your arm and […]

Weather

The weather in Wisconsin is great.  Except for the winters.  They can be kind of long. The cold generally starts in October, then gains momentum in November and December.  You’re sad that fall is over but you’ve got the holidays to distract you.  So, it’s not that bad.  Yet.  New Year’s Day […]

Kids

OK.  I don’t have kids.  But I like kids.  And I was one once.  So this qualifies me to have an opinion on this subject.  I always find it strange that people with kids find it necessary to first clarify “You don’t have kids” before they bore me with a story […]
