Someone Is Out To Get Me!!!

No, I'm not Catholic but I'm not totally opposed to the bonnet. Also, I kind of dig that nuns can wear white. It's slimming.

Yesterday I talked about how sick I was.  I still am.  I bike to work each day, and it’s really nice along the lake in Chicago.  And normally I’m loving it.  It’s not an easy ride, though.  I have my dog strapped to my back, and I have a pannier with my work clothes (suit stuff) draped across the back on the bike.  The ride is about ten miles, and when it’s windy it sucks.

The Paris Sleep Chronicles

Flycatcher

I’m crazy sick.  This is the first time in over two years that I have a cold.  As such, I’ve been jacked up on anything that ends in the word “ephedrine” for two days straight.

I thought this morning, “Well, since I’m nearly hallucinating from this cold, it would probably be healthy to bicycle to work ten miles each way.”  Not my best call.  But who knows, maybe it was healthy. READ MORE

Isn’t Every Day Mother’s Day?

…is something I would never say, write, or even think!  Cursed is the man who utters such a phrase!  Run out of town on a rail he should be!

Okay, obviously I was kidding – I’m sure you were ready to punch me through your computer screen right into my sack. READ MORE

The Worst Post of the Year

While looking for a photo of a large dalmatian, I found one with a bunch of small dalmatians. See, I can't even make this funny. I give up.

As many of you know I have written a post every day this year.  I’ve also bragged in interviews that I haven’t published a poor one yet.  Each one, while not perfect was at least a 7/10.

You may disagree.  F you and your silly hat.

However, this is the first time I’ve had a true block.  Usually I can go back through my day and find something funny, interesting, or touching to talk about.  While I may not know where I’m going, within a few hundred words it takes shape. READ MORE

Putting Off Packing

Please, don't come over to our table. Just let me eat my pollo asado in peace.

Tomorrow I leave for Peoria to spend with the weekend with my parents.  Mother’s Day and all.

While I was catching up on some stuff tonight, I realized I hadn’t packed.  This isn’t a big trip – just three hours by car.  I have to put some food and water out for the cat, put clothes in my little suitcase thing, and pack up the computer.  Also, I’m bringing the dog, so a few of her things.

I’ve Been Appointed!

Aiming Low

Doesn’t that sound a lot more official than, “Some chicks gave me a position with their website?”  No?  Sort of deceptive?  Yeah, I hear you.

Some chicks gave me a position with their website!

AimingLow is a fantastic humor website (seriously), which is collection of funny writers doing what they do best.  Effacing themselves through embarrassment. READ MORE

I Can’t Wait to Ride You!

Yes.  I’m talking about you.

(I address my bicycle as “you”.)

I know.  That was dumb.  And made you feel uncomfortable for a moment.  Especially if you’re a dude.  Well, I guess maybe not all dudes would have felt uncomfortable.  Certain ones. READ MORE

I Have One Of Those Headache Things

I probably get four headaches a year.  I think the weather has something to do with it, and maybe it’s a rain humidity thing.  Who knows.

Note – I ended that with a period, not a question mark, as I don’t really care for the answer. READ MORE
