Insomnia just don’t stop. It’s true. I don’t get out much. I get this angst that I’m never going to find all the good nuggets in the tubes like Bret Michaels getting donkey punched (so to speek) at some award show: 
 

Perhaps that was old news but like I said, I don’t get out much. And [...]

Wednesday should be the point at which the downhill slide into an enjoyable weekend begins. I guess sometimes that just can’t be the case. DC was provided a couple of emails to this one, which undoubtedly is having a significant bummer effect on this humpday.
Even though all three riders who were hit Tuesday were wearing [...]

It’s a Monday. I heard the babble of a trickling brook, or maybe it was a waterfall casting into a coi pond. I stepped into the basement only to realize that instead, all my shit was being glazed with the sweet stench of a busted waste water line. Apparently, cast iron plumbing wears out. It’s [...]

Flakeman’s request – no matter how it happened – came at the last moment and as it happened, it was exactly what the doctor ordered. By noon Friday the Hippy and I were en route to L.A. for a wedding along with a much needed excursion from this form of normalcy. And more importantly, it [...]

I was buried in a bullshit education so I didn’t post some of these in a timely manner. Some of it goes back all the way to February and may have been posted previously as well. Sorry. Here goes the catch up, I knew I’d have to hit it sooner or later…
This one’s in from [...]

So, pass on a yellow and run into cyclists a go when they ride two abreast instead of single file?

I survived Hurricane Ike, staying on the island throughout the storm. The morning after the storm I helped pull helpless women and children from the attics of their flooded homes.
