Anticipation Is…Making Me Wonder Why Carly Simon Didn’t Wear A Bra On The Cover Of Her Album Titled “No Secrets.” Wait, I Think I Just Answered My Own Question
I feel like Snerdley McDweeble pacing his mother's basement waiting for his Ukrainian mail-order bride. Or Ralphie waiting for Christmas morning so he could unwrap his Official Red Ryder carbine-action 200 shot range model air rifle with a compass in the stock and this thing which tells time. I'm as anxious as an emaciated piranha lurking downriver from a swim →
Sunshine (and dirt) On My Shoulders
One camping trip last week coupled with a trip to the New River in Foster Falls, Virginia today has led me to my present state: banging out this post while listening to John Denver. I know, I know, Dr. Isaid No is laughing hysterically right now, and that's to be expected, but I'm secure enough in my musical manhood to →
A Whiter Shade Of Pale
I've found the ultimate diet plan. You're guaranteed to lose 12 pounds in 2 1/2 days. It's called; "The Scout Camp Diet" and it works. I should know, because I invented it over the latter part of last week. All that is required to make this diet work is to hike 12 to 15 miles per day in 90 degree →
Setting The Bar Reeeally High
The kids got out of school on Friday. Their weekend was packed full of fun and excitement. Now I'm fearing that we've painted ourselves into a corner; what do we do for an encore? Friday night we went to a baseball game in Greensboro. It's a downtown stadium that's only a few years old. There is a monument out in →
The Love/Hate Dilemma
It started out innocent enough. I'd heard everyone talking about her. She was the new girl; she seemed nice. All of my friends knew her and talked well of her, but I hadn't been introduced yet. I took my sweet time getting around to it, but when we finally met, we hit it off right away. I liked her energy. →
Skidmarks
I've posted my share of TMI (Too Much Information) stories here, but having somewhat of a captive audience, I didn't perceive it as being too big of a deal. After all, you can choose not to read it, right? I also did my best to make the stories humorous and self-deprecating, so I think I accomplished my goal of sharing →
Finality
The weekend started out good. I accompanied NukeBoy2 to an overnight camp out with his scout den. NukeBoy1 tagged along and we had a great time. It was the first time I had been camping in over 20 years, and a first for the NukeBoys. They loved it. NukeBoy1 and I will be heading to the mountains later this month →
