Today is Sarah's birthday but all she has to show for it, so far, is a cake that says “Happy Birthday Susie.” We're celebrating her birthday with a dinner and a concert on Sunday, so today is mostly a non-event. I'm even waiting until Sunday to give her Read More...

I've mentioned Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) on this website a few times, but only in passing. Since my blog has helped me develop a webby relationship with many of you, I feel it's time for me to come clean. A little over eight years ago I attended my first Read More...

M y wife and I packed up the kids a couple of weekends ago and made our way to a "starving artist" art sale in Fort Collins. These sales are a great way to find affordable art, especially art hand-painted by individuals lacking a basic understanding of Read More...
One Wrinkled Butt Away

In a vain attempt to delay the inevitable obesity, disease, and sundry other pleasantries that come with the decaying human body, a buddy and I have been going to the gym a couple of times a week at lunchtime. It’s been about 10 years since I last Read More...
