Starbucks…we’ve had a good run, you and I. You were there for me in my ignorant youth and I gave you so much of my money. You comforted me with your big easy chairs and your cookie-cutter jazz sounds when I thought I needed to feel snobby, when I craved to be just a little [...]

His inner turmoil is so acute and is evidence that Stains (yes, the dog’s name is Stains – no, not touchin’ that one) has had to visualize something so distracting, so tantalizing that it keeps him from snatching not just one cupcake, but the entire plate of cupcakes…as well as the hand holding the plate.

Complete with a beach, an umbrella, and a ginormous fruity drink with a little umbrella all it’s own (as all beach drinks should have). So, life is somewhat chaotic these days (isn’t it always). However, I find that there is a kind of comfort associated with chaos…if you never know what’s coming then life is continually [...]

However, as is true with all services, [...]

…but I did and I’m hoping the 1 hour workouts I’ve started to do every morning (well…most mornings – not THIS morning…but most) will counteract the fact that I had ice cream for dinner last night.

…it’s that I hate the other drivers on the road. Not all drivers. Just the class a, certifiable, cell-phone using, big mac shoving, screaming-at-their-kids-instead-of-watching-the-road morons that our roads are far too overpopulated with. I mean, is there a ‘special’ driving school somewhere pumping out mediocre graduates of offensive driving? Cause I’m offended! Anyone else? Take this idiot incident de’jour [...]
