Life is hard.Not “stub your toe and move on” hard.I’m talking existential dread with a side of breaking news alert hard. EVERY SINGLE DAY !!! Everywhere you turn—news, politics, religion, social media—it’s like walking into a room where everyone is already yelling…and nobody remembers why. Hate.Hate.HATE. I hate all the hate. And then…the other night… … Continue reading Cheese and Crackers

Talking in Your Sleep
Recently we made the bold, financially responsible, wildly unexciting decision to switch from Amazon Music to Spotify. Why? Because I operate on a highly sophisticated household budgeting system known as:“Whichever one is cheaper right now wins.” Turns out Spotify is cheaper.WHO KNEW? My wife knew.Which is why we switched. So now I’ve been riding shotgun … Continue reading Talking in Your Sleep
We All Had Heroes.
I certainly had one. To this day – I still admire him. And I use the term “him” oddly, because I know there is no real “him”. He wasn’t real. But the idea of “him” was always real. And yes, I still admire him. Nothing ever got him down. Nothing bothered him. Any bad situation … Continue reading We All Had Heroes.
It’s a New Season
I do enjoy when a new season is upon us. There’s something about that first stretch of warm spring days. Not just one teaser day in March where everyone wears shorts and then it snows the next morning. No. That is some top shelf BS right there. I’m talking about that string of nice days … Continue reading It’s a New Season

Enough Is Enough
Me? I’ve had it. Enough. Seriously. I bet he’s enjoying himself.I bet he’s down there right now… kicked back… feet up… cozy in his little burrow Airbnb… central heat, zero wind chill… surrounded by woodland buddies. Probably sipping hot cocoa. Looking outside. Laughing. LAUGHING. AT US. We’ve been good to him. We gave him a … Continue reading Enough Is Enough
I’m not a picky eater.
I'm a grown ass man. I know what I like. I know what I don’t like. The research phase portion of my life is over. And as a grown-ass man, I don’t have to eat anything I don’t want. Isn’t that the whole point of surviving childhood. Now apparently… As a grown-ass man, I’m also … Continue reading I’m not a picky eater.
Winter Is a Personal Attack
There was a time not so long ago when I didn’t mind the cold. In fact, one might say I embraced it. Even more than that, I didn’t mind the extreme cold.
