So in my seventh day of not eating I’m looking around at a dirty house, overgrown lawn and myriad other things which, if not done, will bring chaos and disorder to the universe. I want my food energy back… I want to get up and do normal things again. I started to doubt the benefits [...]

Mark and Shirley began the process of moving in last month. We endured at least a month of hearing about Mark, but never seeing or having proof of his existence. He didn’t even have a name. He was the lawyer. As it turns out, he fit instantly into the tribe. We could have been screwed [...]

A lot of people have been asking me this week why the Queen of My Universe and I are fasting for a week. So here, in no specific order are some of the questions along with unscientifically and likely erroneous answers. 1. WTF? Fasting is a great way to clean out your system both mentally [...]

There’s an old Cheech and Chong skit… Sister Mary Elephant I think, in which the good sister has a student read his essay about what he did over his summer vacation. It begins: “On the first day of my summer vacation, I woke up.” Yeah, me too. A couple hours later than usual. I was [...]

So the first thing I hear on NPR news this morning is about Governor Sanford. After so famously going all John C. Calhoun on President Obama by refusing stimulus money, it turns out the Governor was visiting his Argentinian mistress. I’d like to really jump all over Sanford about this, but there’s something bizarrely romantic [...]

Alex waved to me frantically while I started mowing the lawn. I’d already had some qualms about mowing the lawn to begin with. It was one of those rare times when I’m really into mowing, so I wasn’t trying to get my lazy ass out of any work. Earlier a lot of bees buzzed around [...]

The women in my life have a big influence on what I listen to when they’re around. I have extreme tastes in music, and don’t object when the Queen of my Universe or the Cat of my Universe object to a song or two. The disadvantage that Dolly (the Cat of my Universe) has, is [...]

I’ve only watched one football game this season. DOUG doesn’t get cable anymore, and LIZ and Brian hate the Patriots, so I just didn’t watch. I can’t even remember who the Patiots beat that week. I still love football, but I found plenty of other things to do this fall and winter besides sit on [...]

Last spring, when gas was over $4.00 a gallon, I started paying attention to my gas mileage a little more. Queen of My Universe got me a computer to hook up to the Korean Tiger’s brain which computes real-time gas mileage. I was having a lot of fun with it, driving slow and being all [...]
