It’s good to make friends with your neighbors

I’ve been unable to mow my lawn for the past week. And in that past week it has been rainy and warm. If you’ve ever had a patch of grass surrounding your house, you know that rainy and warm is like crack to grass. It just soaks it up and grows like crazy. I also […]

I’m a Monkey

I was a monkey this weekend, and boy am I tired now. To clarify, I did what any good son would do and head over to his mother’s house to help her scrape off old paint and put up new paint. It’s a pretty large house, so we got lots of family to do this. […]

I Tired.

I stayed up pretty late last night (making this with my friends), and now I have to head to work soon. So there’s not much time for me to think of anything deep or profound for my blog post today. I think I’m going to take a quick nap or watch some more Arrested Development. I […]

How should an employee behave?

If you’re a reader of my blog, you may remember a post a couple of months ago called How Should a Manager Behave? In a store, the expectation of proper behavior is not a one way street. It’s not even a two way street. Actually, it’s not a street. It’s a store with many interactions […]

Oh man there’s a lot of water

It’s supposed to rain this whole week. It’s rained a lot the past couple of weeks. I woke up yesterday morning to my bed shaking because of a very very close lightning strike. Our rented house is gleefully showing where all the cracks in the basement are forming. I should start naming the rivers that […]

REVIEW – Frank Sinatra in a Blender by Matthew McBride

I decided to give this book a read on the recommendation of my friend, Govneh. In fact, since she had already read the book, she sent it my way. A couple of months passed and the book had not yet shown up on my doorstep. Then the Post Office returned to her the few scraps […]

Taking weekends off

I’ve been writing blog posts for a bit now, and I’ve decided that the amount of time it takes to come up with something worth reading is the amount of time I’d like to spend doing some other projects. You will eventually see the fruits of those labors as well. And Sensitive Saturday was kinda […]

As A Human

Originally posted on Where All Bad Kristins Go To Die:
Today was supposed to be rough. I knew I had to get up before dawn, hit two jobs up north, then hit one more back up in the mountains. I was destined to drive for 8-10 hours and do three jobs in between, while trying…

Final Beer Update

I showed you a couple of days ago that I had kegged the beer that I brewed about a month and a half ago. Now, the beer should be fully carbonated and ready for drinking. I ventured into the basement with a clean glass, hoping that it all turned out okay. Brewing is not a […]

Local Artist

Quick post today. A couple of days ago, a nice man came into the gas station with a hand full of serpentine belt (for those unfamiliar with cars, it’s one of those rubber-band looking things in your engine that makes it difficult to drive if it shreds into a million pieces). His van was parked […]
