GranolaBox

These are some highlights from the Vasectomy Information and Instruction Sheet I got from the urologist. The stuff in bold was bold on the original text. The stuff in italics is the rambling of a man with very sore balls confined to his bed. Take a SHOWER immediately before your operation, lathering the scrotum and [...]

The deed is done. Since it’s sperm week here at Granola Box, I thought it best to designate my urologist, Dr. Harold Stopp as Citizen of the Week.

Finally…. after carrying signs in front of my Congressman’s office, signing countless petitions, watching him throw my comrades in jail and sending tons of e-mails through MoveOn aimed at getting him to change his position on the war in Iraq, I finally got a response. Yup… I got a letter from Randy Kuhl himself. The [...]

I get to sleep in on Saturday mornings once every two weeks. Because of my commute I have to get up at an ungodly hour during the work week, and because I have my kids every other weekend I can sleep later, but it’s not really unadulterated sleeping in. So there I lay this morning [...]
