• The single biggest difference between me and my wife

    Cheryl is thinking about how much work we can get done on our three-day, holiday weekend.

    I’m worrying about how much work she thinks we can get done on our three-day, holiday weekend.

  • Johnny Cash in a Red Sox Tee

    For all you kids out there who think smoking is cool, let me tell you something. You can mimick a lifetime’s worth of smokin’ em down to the nubs with a nice little head cold. Hell man, my wife just said I sound just like Johnny Cash; and let me tell you, I feel like him too. Now if I could just mike up my inner ear I could make some nice coin selling The Man’s demo tapes on Ebay, post-mortem. Ah, but before I start polishing my Pay-Pal debit card, I’d better take that nap I’ve been putting off.

  • The news from row S

    If you walk up the stairs on the third level of the St. Pete Times Forum, you will find two seats right at the top, looking down the stairs from either side of the center handrail, seats 3 and 4, row S. This was where Beth watched her first live hockey game.

    Her first impression was, “there are a LOT of people here dad.”

    “Yeah, it’s great, nothing like Rays games, is it?”

    On a related note, it was quite a bit louder. It turns out that 20,000 people can make a lot of noise, if they really want to. Throw in a horn and a solid roof to bounce sound off of; and suddenly Beth’s voice isn’t loud enough anymore.
