If I may offer you all one piece of advice as we head into this new year, it would be to never combine whatever stomach virus it is that everyone in the world seems to have right now with a very painful sinus infection. After eight days and counting of firsthand research on this subject, …

What Matters Most, What Makes Us Whole, Is Knowing Who Is Annoying The Hell Out Of Us This Christmas
This friggin commercial drove me batty this Christmas season. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4TXa8gnzc6w and not for the reason you’re probably thinking, that it ran six jillion times an hour, especially on certain channels. No, it’s for these three reasons. First, I had no idea what it was for. This happens more times these days than I’d like. I’d …
I Could Use Some Sleep
You know your lack of sleep is getting to your brain when you’re about to get out of the shower, suddenly can’t remember if you’ve washed your hair and then do it again because you don’t think you can trust yourself to have done it. It’s only like the main thing you went in there …
Greetings From A Restaurant
Greetings from the Jack Astors in which I am day drinking on this unexpectedly beautiful Tuesday afternoon. Seriously, what a great day this is. It’s sunny and pleasant at the end of November just days after a dumping of snow. Hooray for climate change… Or something. I forgot how much I liked the chicken fingers …
Good Job, Steve!
I’m off to a fine start this morning. I put my shirt on inside out and then went to the kitchen to enjoy a cup of tea that I hadn’t remembered to pour water into. I did catch the shirt thing before I left to roam around the city with Carin’s mom and dad though, …
We Do It, So Why Can’t They?
Do you ever watch those vet shows on TV and think to yourself this must be what it’s like to be abducted by aliens? I do that all the time, especially during the ones like Dr. Oakley where they go to remote areas to treat sometimes wild animals. Imagine you’re a bear. There you are, …
How Was Everyone’s Summer?
Serious question. How in the hell is it Seppa-tebby-tebby already? No, scratch that. How are we already half way through it? I’ve learned especially in the last few years that what older people have always said to me about each year going faster than the last is true. 2019 is absolutely the fastest one yet. …
No, I Am Not Going To Make Myself Sad ON Purpose Once A Year

Who Are These People
Just a few quick questions about human behaviour, if I may. We had a friend staying with us a while ago. While him and I were making breakfast together one morning, he asked me for a fork. I gave him one, of course. I then watched as he started using it to crack eggs rather …
Have They Ruined Sleeman Honey Brown?
We had a friend staying with us this weekend, and since him and I used to love Sleeman Honey Brown but neither of us had drank one in years I decided to pick some up. Christ, what a mistake. Seriously, if we got one that wasn’t watery *and* funny tasting, we were treated to one …
