Random Question Friday Rescheduled to Random Question Thursday

Due to my crazy-ass drive-a-thon weekend, we’re moving Random Question Friday up a day.
When I was a wee little tyke I slipped somewhere (the fireplace, maybe?) and busted my chin open. I don’t remember going ass over teakettle, but I do remember lying on my back in a clean room with shadowy figures standing over [...]

8 More Hours . . .

Oh yes, readers, it’s going to be a great weekend.
Tomorrow morning I head to Steamboat Springs to hang out and fish with Dave on the White and Yampa rivers. Yours truly has some new gear to try out, not to mention some self-tied flies.
I’ll be back Saturday afternoon, working Sunday and Monday in order to [...]

Yep, You Guessed It

It was decided by a majority of my coworkers that today was indeed another Monday. It may have been upgraded to more of a Monday afternoon (still Monday, but with an end the crapiness in sight), but the fact remains it was still a Monday. Because of today’s events, tomorrow will be hectic (translation: possible [...]

Yep, It’s Still Monday

I realize that universally, very few people in the world actually enjoy Mondays. Perhaps this is unfair, maybe Mondays have even acquired a bad reputation by accident. However, the sad truth is, most generalizations are rooted in some bit of truth. No matter how much Monday tries, not matter what he does [...]

Super Evil Genius

As longtime readers of my previous blogs might remember, I dig pranks and my little OCD-tinted brain constantly seeks prank opportunities. Dirk’s nametag left unattended in the breakroom? Why, let’s change the stickers around and see how long it takes him to notice people are calling him “Drik.” Stepbrother not keeping a careful eye on [...]

Soccer at 7200

You know how sometimes an old dog, once unleashed in the park or campground, will take off with speed and joy not seen since its Puppychow years?
That was me last night on the soccer field. For an hour or two, my shin splints didn’t bother me, my knee injury from the other night was gone, [...]

It’s Only Monday

My week started at 5:00am this morning. I spent the day sitting at the ninth hole of a swanky golf course with one of our interns from work while semi-celebrities played in a charity golf tournament. Every year, YB provides the volunteer staff for this tournament and in return, a majority of the [...]

We Were That Table

Part of my summer job entails living in a college dormitory. As you may or may not know, colleges often host conferences of various kinds in the summer – great publicity, better revenue. The conferences can be athletic, scholastic, or just common-interest in nature, but they’re almost always comprised of high school kids.
Yesterday over 1,000 [...]

The Adventures of Louie

I had a rather nostalgic moment during my commute to the suburbs yesterday afternoon. The heat and the traffic were finally getting to me as I approached the turn onto Santa Fe Drive when, the black car that had been following me down Broadway for the last couple of miles, pulled up beside me [...]

Another Bouquet Toss

Jenn and Phil’s Wedding, August 2003. I was a willing participant for this toss. Stellar idea Jenn, I’m definitely copying you on this one.
