I left the house today to learn about my new job assignment. Today is one of the april days referred to in the childhood ditty, and remarkably crappy. While doing the dishes, I decided to put on Kiss It Goodbye’s only lp, called She loves me, She loves me not…. Understand that when I first [...]
It starts with The Wire. After months (years?) of hearing tell of the virtues of this tv show that I’ve never seen, as I haven’t had HBO in any house in which I’ve lived since I left my parents’ house many years ago, it finally managed its way to the top of our Netflix queue [...]
Dear Dad,
In the midst of the chaos that has been the past couple weeks of my life, Jeff and I took a few hours out of our limited entertainment schedule to watch “Princess Raccoon.” If we hadn’t already decided that we were going to watch it in two shifts (because I fall asleep after one [...]

And for something entirely off the track of what this blog-thing is usually about.
I really enjoy swimming. It’s really the only form of exercise that isn’t soccer that I’ve ever enjoyed. I don’t like running, I don’t like lifting weights. I guess I like riding a bike, but not in a way that would count [...]
Jeff and I for the first time are truly following a presidential campaign.

By “this” I mean simultaneous Republican and Democratic races for the party nomination. I think this [...]
