Recent conversation with Brenda:

me: I heard a song on the radio on the ride home today and found myself returning to the 70's.

Brenda: Like you ever left.

me: Be that as it may, I was bobbing my head to Journey's Lovin, Touchin', Squeezin'.

Brenda: And that's bad because...

me: Perhaps you didn't hear me - It was Journey! I'm a little upset about it. I may have to kick my own ass.

Brenda: I like Journey. My friends like Journey.

me: That's exactly my point. You and your friends view .38 Special, Air Supply, and Bad Company as if those guys rock.

Brenda: Air Supply doesn't rock but Bad Company was badass.

me: That's why you're not allowed to choose the radio station in the car.

Where's The Winch?

We took the girls sailing today. Unlike last year, Olivia did not throw a winch handle overboard because of our diligence in preventing it. The sailing is still free because of the heart of the owner who offers this once a month during the summer. Go »

We Were That Close

Brenda and I looked at a house a few days ago and were very charmed by it. It was a ranch style home with four bedrooms, a large fenced yard and was selling at a reasonable price. Brenda was a little unsure of the size of the bedrooms but agreed to go back and specifically measure them with a tape measure and if they met her minimum standards, she would agree to make an offer for the house.

Not Halloween But Pretty Scary

Imagine a band composed entirely of ukeleles and a guitar or two. Scared yet? Now imagine that band performing rock songs. Go »

The Long and Winding Road

I've led my life with few regrets but those few have been big ones. I've posted a bit about my divorce but not about the reasons behind it. I'm not going to now either but I will say that Betsy deserved better at that time. Go »

Happy Halloween

Back when I was about ten, I went trick or treating as a witch doctor. I got to a house that I didn't know who lived there and was greeted by a kindly looking old lady. When I routinely and without much enthusiaism stated, "Trick or treat," she responded by handing me a piece of religious literature. Go »

The Miracle Of Marlboro

I'm old enough to remember cigarette ads on television. Most were (like all ads) ridiculously exaggerated concerning the adventures in coolness their product would bring. But these tobacco ads are intrinsically evil when promoting a product the manufacturers knew were killing people. Go »
