My Dad drove a little brown Datsun when I was a young child.  The car had a sunroof and my Dad wore nice shades that made everything look yellow and blocked the sun. He was like a young David Hasselhoff. The car also had an 8-track player and my Dad […]

I just participated in a few fantasy football mock drafts on ESPN’s website. In case you’re keeping track, these are make-pretend drafts of a make-pretend draft where players play on your make-pretend team. I’m three levels of fantasy removed from reality. This can’t be good. I was chatting with my […]

My first job was as a pizza delivery man for 3 towns I knew next to nothing about. It was before GPS had come out, but I don’t think it would have mattered. After all, I don’t think anything would have gotten a signal to those parts anyway. Not even […]

Sometimes, when life gets really bad, I think about how lint must feel to be jammed up inside someone’s belly button for hours, days or even years and how bad it must smell when it comes out – if it ever, indeed, does come out. It usually doesn’t make me […]

I went with my father to the Patriots pre-season game against the Saints on Thursday. The stadium was big and beautiful, kind of like my biceps. We walked up about 14 ramps, and, after fighting traffic, parking lots and hunger, finally made it to our seats with 12 minutes to […]

There was a day they called “step up day” where the Middle Schoolers visited the High School for a day.  I don’t know who was running the show for my step-up day (apparently nobody), because we roamed the halls, ate free popcorn and played basketball in the gym all day […]

How beautiful is this scene where Scott and Boof walk home? So beautiful, it is the first non-music video to be given the distinction of today’s daily dose of passion. The action picks up around 1:08 in.

I spend about 16 hours per week in the car.  Too much music overloads my brain, so I’m always on the lookout for good podcasts.  Everyone seems to rave about NPR, so I figured their “Story of the Day” podcast would be a good way for me stay mildly entertained and informed […]

My favorite singer ever to roam the planet has a new album and his first official music video to go with it.  It is very nice. The only less than positive thing I can say about it is that some of the scenes with the older couples remind me of […]

I got a voicemail from Discover Card today making me aware of some suspicious activity and wanting to verify that my account had not been compromised. Feeling a little unnerved, I quickly gave the provided number a return call. After being connected with their automated system, I learned that three […]
