I went to Naples on Friday in search of the first restaurant Carla and I went to the first time she took me into Naples. The one where I had all the delicious pizza that I posted pictures of. And I knew it was near the waterfront, and I knew that right on the waterfront, [...]

Alright now, gentlemen, I don’t think any of you will take this personally as these men are CLEARLY insane, but just to be sure, I start out with this disclaimer: I am not blaming nut-jobs like these for my being single. I am blaming you for not asking me out. Haha, TOTALLY kidding. Kind of. [...]

I was recently introduced to this website, where one can find multiple fictional stories about Roy Orbison being wrapped in plastic wrap (referred to as “clingfilm” on the site). There are many things about this idea that intrigue me, not the least of which being that this is a very odd thing to think about [...]

Oh, friends, I am ecstatic to report to you that I’ve just taught my last night class of the semester. I don’t really believe it yet, but there it is. Tomorrow is the last night for the students, but since I’m just the Monday/Wednesday teacher, it matters not to me. And I’m going to have [...]

So I mentioned the other day a few things I’d like to do when I retire, namely bake, Salsa dance, kayak and ride a bike through China. Well after tonight’s excursion to the NC Museum of Art, I’ve got another activity to add to the list – senior adult chorus. I had heard of this [...]

Long, exhausting weekend + dreary, rainy Monday morning = me wanting to either (A) hit someone, (B) crawl back into bed for three more hours, or (C) hit anyone that stops me from crawling back into bed for three more hours. But since I didn’t have either of those options this morning, I just made [...]

If you and I are friends on facebook, you may have seen my recent mobile upload of the ENORMOUS cockroach Josh and I discovered in the window last week. It had really nasty, hairy legs, and we think it was laying an egg sack in our window between the pane and the screen. I don’t [...]

I have an article due on Thursday, and while I have it all outlined, and I know 90% of what I’m going to say, I just can’t seem to motivate myself to write the thing. Maybe it’s the passing of Michael Jackson that’s got me down. Maybe if I just put my bedazzled glove, high-water [...]

I dreamed just now that I’d befriended a family that had two sons. The sons were significantly younger than me, but somehow, we’d still grown up together. The younger one was probably 11 or so, and the older one was 18 or 19. I don’t know how we’d grown up together. Maybe I was younger [...]
