Ninja Warrior/I Try 😝

I’m sore as hell ya’ll, and I blame American Ninja Warrior. It all started on the 4th of July. The D-man and I had just discovered/binge watched American Ninja Warrior, and then we drank a little , watched the fireworks, saw a mini-horse chariot, and drank a little  more. Don’t judge! It was the first 4th … Continue reading →

Free Money From Big Brother

What a day for checking my inbox! If you know me, you’ll know that I’m always on the hunt for a deal. Hell, I even check the parking meters for spare change on my walk back from work. I have four chances of winning, so the odds are usually in my favor. I grew up … Continue reading →

It’s The Great Summer Pumpkin , Charlie Brown

The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, In hopes that The Easter Bunny would soon be there. Wait-wait that’s not it. I’m just so confused by the strong-armed seasonal push of retailers that I’m having a Small Wonder melt down. I’ve almost come to terms with the fact that the malls will be festooned … Continue reading →

I Love

I love tomato season at the Farmer’s Market and the simple pleasure o f eating a tomato sandwich, adorned with nothing more than some mayo and salt and pepper. I love the first sip of  strong black coffee in the morning. I love the crinkling around an old man’s kind eyes. It makes me want … Continue reading →
