The big company party is tomorrow night. We’re getting all dressed up, smiling, and going. In a whole different world, I wanted to tell you the story of when I discovered that girls and boys are different. I was 8 or 9. We lived on an Air Force base in Goldsboro, North Carolina. If you’ve […]

Have you ever left something
Have you ever left something undone so long that now the the thought of doing whatever it was that was left undone is now twice as unpleasant as it was before? That’s how I feel about my “vacation beard”. I was going to let it grow for a week, just to see what happened. That […]
Happy St. Nicholas Day!
It’s a holiday my family borrowed while we lived in Germany. Those crazy Germans. Somewhere around December 5th, all the little German kids put their shoes outside the door when they go to bed. Then, when they wake up the next morning, there’s a little present from St. Nick waiting for them in their stinky […]
My Britney problem — and

The webcam is coming, kiddies.
The webcam is coming, kiddies. Be forewarned. My fat (currently fuzzy) face will soon be plastered all over the site. Yay for webcams! Maybe I’ll go start up camboys or something and become a web celebrity or something. mmmmmmmmm, celebrity.
Someone should be embarrassed. I
Someone should be embarrassed. I have never seen anything so hideous. Check out the cartoons. Please don’t visit if you have a weak stomach for things that reek of easy-bake recipes gone wrong.

Gene Weingarten’s article in the Washington Post Magazine this weekend, Why Not the Worst? was excellent. It’s a profile of Battle Mountain, Nevada, the armpit of America. Really, it sounds just wonderful. From the gigantic BM whitewashed on the hill to the delapidated downtown, it sounds really… armpittarific. But, that’s not all. It’s really a […]
Random Thoughts
Never buy sushi in bulk from a guy with a plastic hat at Costco who swears it’s really tasty I wish TiVo had a playlist feature. I want the “Max, sit and watch this while I do X.” list of Blue’s Clues and other things TiVo’s recorded. This one’s for Jodi: If you’re a company, […]
