Our office is moving and they’re trying to pick out colors for the cubicles (CAUTION: may contain office like substance). I was approached for my ideas, keeping in mind they were looking for something that wouldn’t show dirt.
I grabbed a scrap sheet of paper, lovingly placed it on the ground in front of me, stepped back, and took a running leap at it (feet first of course……
The mercury might not reach sixty today! We’re shivering in our thermal underwear today, I can safely say!
The great tragedy in all of this is my office… which is hotter than Hades on a bad day. One side of my office is a floor to ceiling wall of window, and not one of them opens. This is not uncommon in office buildings of this size – but no less disappointing. But they’re…
When I get some unexpected time off I usually spend it sleeping. When Cheryl gets some unexpected time off she usually spends it doing housework.

How often do you open a Christmas card, only to find in its place a glitter bomb? No, no one is sending explosive devices to me in the mail. This is not an intentional act of vandalism; at least I don’t think it is. These are the decorative cards that look so sparklely on the shelf, but invariably loose some of their shine in transit. No matter how careful I am when I open the envelope, I am…
You usually don’t have regret without some cause, but I thought it sounded good… so there you have it.
Earlier in the week my wife said she needed to get a gift for a shower she was attending. I told her I would get it for her… because that’s just the kind of guy I am. Armed with a name and coordinates of ground zero for the registry, I made my way to everyone’s…
