Do the clicky thing here if you missed Part I yesterday . . . I mentioned in yesterday’s post that my father is an electrical engineer. This makes him very, very smart. When it comes to electrical engineering. He is retired from IBM and did all kinds of really important electrical engineering stuff while he […]
I spent some time with my father this afternoon. I have not intentionally killed anyone since. (Note the word “intentionally”) Given that I carry the genetic code that he gave me 42 years ago, it is these times that I sit and think about my interaction with other people and hope, for all that is […]
I’ve been writing for years, for all kinds of audiences but this is my first journey into the world of blogging and I’m feeling a whole bunch of pressure. The pressure is totally of my own creation and I’m sure I am not alone in knowing that I am my own worst critic. My biggest […]
I gotta make this quick ’cause Swamp People is on. I love me some Swamp People. Someday, if I ever get a vacation again, I want to spend it with Troy Landry and go catch me some “gatahs”. These guys are a real special kind of hunter. They catch these 500 – 800 pound beasts […]
I’ve been holding off on a post for a little while because it contains some news that a buddy of mine didn’t want to get out until his whole family had heard first. He says this like anyone in his family reads this. Anyway, here it is. My buddy Nick and his wife are going […]
Today was one of those days. By the time I realized it was Tuesday and it was a Top 20 day, it was after lunch and I pretty much had nothing for an idea. Then I had a great idea and started in on it and got halfway through it and decided it was complete […]
(If you’re new here and got linked directly to this post, please read Part 1 and Part 2 of this experiment so that this one doesn’t explode your brain and make you all, “WTF is he talking about?!”) After much plotting and scheming and finally a re-write of my original ad, D is for Deviant […]
Thank you! All of you, who in the last couple of days have made my life complete by reading and passing around my last couple of posts on the Craigslist phenomenon. This blog has been here for only a week and most of these things get off to a slow start, but those two posts […]
A post like yesterday’s obviously wouldn’t be complete without a follow-up, so in case you missed it, you may want to go back and check it out before you get into this one. While my own attempt at the CPSE (Craigslist Personals Social Experiment) has thus far failed due to a seemingly random screening policy, […]
I’ve been bad and not made a post for 2 days. Normally this probably wouldn’t be so bad but it comes just 3 days after I promised myself I would make a post every day to get myself in the habit, and if I can’t keep a promise to myself then it must be New […]
