You are probably wondering why you are seeing a second post this week entitled Fiction Friday, neither of which were posted on a Friday?

Fiction Friday #148 – Three Days Past Due

Last week I wrote a short piece of fiction as a way to have a little fun and do something different. To my surprise, it was not only well received, but I was asked to include more of this type of writing on my personal blog. With the request of more fiction, I began poking [...]

The Blind Side

It has been said in the past, but it is worth saying that my wife and I are not big movie-goers. Every now and again we will go see something new but we tend to go to the earlier shows which aren’t nearly as full. Seeing movies in this manner generally has us in he [...]

Took Syrus for a Walk and was Attacked by Zombies

A Beautiful Spring Day Saturday was beautiful. Not only was it the first day of Spring but it was also the first day in nearly a week that wasn’t tainted by cloudy skies and persistent rain.

Three surefire ways to get a reaction from your wife

Earlier this week I made a post explaining why an article was delayed. I spent my evening chatting it up with a friend while smoking cigars and drinking rum.

Ran into a chum with a bottle of rum

Being a creature of habit, I like to have things prepared and ready to go at a certain time. This is very true about my blog, and if you are like me you were probably wondering where todays post was when you checked the site? The simple answer is that I was slacking off last [...]

The joys of being sick

Like the rest of the sane world, I do not enjoy being under the weather. Not only do you feel miserable while sick, but even simple tasks seem to take far more mental energy to accomplish. The last four to six weeks has seemed far longer than it has actually been. It all started with [...]

Hot Stuff Comin’ Through
