Post-vacation Blues
by Steve West on August 20, 2008

Without going into great detail, my co-workers are muddle-brained knuckleheads that make the Keystone Kops look like a Mensa meeting. Federal sanctions are not that far-fetched. Changes will be made soon.
My new boss looked at me and my sunburn and asked if I had gone to the beach. I explained that I got it at Hershey Park and she acted surprised. "You got burned at an amusement park?" Lady, I get burned just getting my morning paper.
Where's my coffee and Advil? Ahhh, skip the coffee and make that Vicodin.

Ten Times Bliss
Brenda and I just finished putting the girls to bed. We picked them up from Grandma's a little earlier because she was babysitting while Brenda and I celebrated our tenth anniversary. Just a brief opportunity to spend some time together on a school night. Go »
What Is This, Miami Beach?
Once again, I have to preface this by saying South Dakota snow stories are much more impressive, I'm sure. But here in DC it doesn't get much heavier than this. A couple of feet in a two day period left a lot of snow to be shovelled out of the way. Go »
