Our neighbors are trying to make us look bad. They did the unthinkable, they planted sod. Making matters worse, they installed a sprinkler system. Even worse yet, their sprinklers water a sizable chunk of our yard too.
BASTARDS!
Just as I was starting to relish the coming of the annual November die-off, our neighbors go and put the side of our “lawn” on life support.
I was discussing…

What would you do if someone insulted your spouse? What would you do if someone openly called him or her hurtful names? Could you simply shrug them off? Could you simply stand by and do nothing?
What if someone insulted your spouse anonymously, but in a public forum? What if you could respond in…
I’m about to speak on a topic which I have very little expertise. Actually, I’ll probably talk about several topics on which I have very little knowledge. You know what they say, a little bit of knowledge is a dangerous thing. In my case, well, I must be positively lethal.
Throughout the ages, or at least since bottled water, the water cooler has been fertile ground for inane chatter…
If your office temperature up to this point was perfect, and you were given the choice between an unobstructed view of Tampa Bay AND a ten degree change in temperature, OR the same temperature and a view of the woods; what would you choose?
I didn’t get a choice. The trees came down under the cloak of a weekend, and I’m looking at Tampa Bay, boiling in my own juices. Sure, I could…
The latest battleground in the “teaching Evolution in public schools” debate is a sticker. That’s right, stickers are not just for scratching and sniffing anymore. The Cobb County School Board in Georgia decided to place a sticker on science textbooks, which “,advised students that evolution was a scientific theory, not a fact, and urged students to use critical thinking in…
I’m up late with the baby again. That’s really the only reason I’ve got Monday Night Football on. Anyway, I was sitting here enjoying a late night sloth session with the boob tube when a commercial caught me unawares. It seems that 20/20 has an exclusive beat on top tier celebrities that command extravagant appearance fees to appear at charity events.
Now that’s a scoop.
Something is causing me to hallucinate. Could it be a tumor? Am I having a breakdown? Is the fabric of reality itself crumbling at my feet?
Morton Plant Hospital sent us not one, but two checks. That’s right boys and girls, a representative of the U.S. health care system is sending me money. Haven’t they got this relationship backwards?
The kicker is this money was sent to us…
Except for the television displaying the static default “DVD VIDEO” picture, the room is dark. Well, that’s not exactly true, I shouldn’t forget the small amount of light my beloved PowerBook is producing. My month old son is sleeping peacefully about six feet to my left. My feet are stowed in their full, up most position. My son finished eating his last meal about two…
When you’re not feeling your best, do you crave a pick-me-up that you can sink your teeth into? Do you look for something that can raise your blood sugar as much as your spirits? Is frosted something more than a colorful way to describe your mood? If you are with me so far then you can appreciate the soothing value of a frosted brown sugar and cinnamon Pop-tart toaster pastry. My only beef…
You know what? The sun rose this morning. The Earth continued on its orbit around the sun. There were cars on the street. People were going about their business. CNN, MSNBC, et al. were still broadcasting the news. My daughter got up and went to school. My son woke up early in the morning with his trademark “feed me” cry. I still love my wife as much as ever.
Why then am I grasping at…
