It’s the Saturday after my first week back to work after shoulder surgery. I’ve come to some pretty important realizations during the seven weeks I’ve been out.
First, I really hate being away from the Queen of my Universe ten hours a day. Even though we had contractors working in the house […]

Steve Earle
The first time I heard Steve Earle was a song he did a video for in the 80’s called Copperhead Road. It’s a cool song about meeting your maker and stuff. He looked really scruffy back then. Check out the totally 80’s video if you have a minute. Then Steve […]

Before we destroy our existing lawn, I wanted to get pictures of our old, mostly non-functioning yard.

This is one of the best things the queen of my universe has called my attention to in quite a while.
Apparently, President Bush threw the first pitch out at the season opener of the Washington Nationals’ game. It’s important because it’s their first game ever as a new franchise. As a matter of […]

Think about how much effort you put into your garden, but what you get for it? Yes… a summer of beauty, but after that? Nothing. You don’t get doodly squat. Isn’t it much more efficient to put your sweat and, as if often the case when I garden, blood into something […]

This is DOUG’s house. He bought it for he and his mom and now he owns it outright. It’s an awesome old farmhouse on Naples luxurious lower East Side. DOUG’s mom had a massive stroke a few years back, and DOUG took complete care of her until the […]

I know this is a little bit late, but I’ve been behind in my reading. This is a gem from my favorite local muckraker and guest blogger Lappe Parrish.
