Going to the movies is always an exciting adventure. Its odd, but somehow people (or at least me) go to the movies with other people as a means to “hang out.” Even stranger is the idea that going to the movies alone is weird. Its not just that if nobody else wants to see it [...]

A few days ago I had a bowel movement that was remarkably large (this would be your signal to stop reading if you don’t find an endless string of toilet humor appealing – although, there will probably be one or two lines that are slightly high brow). My wife said I take shits like that [...]

The GPS navigator spoke truth, “Long Road Ahead.” It might be cliche, but it couldn’t be denied. The four of us were in the car at about 8 AM and a mile or two from the trailhead. This wasn’t the 150 mile hike I’ve written about, that’s been canceled indefinitely. This was to be a [...]
