1st & 10 Do It Again – GO! FIGHT! WIN!

January 31, 2009

I don’t need to tell you how I feel about the football blaring loudly from the TV. What I do need to tell you is why, in spite of all that, I’ll be glued to our HDTV come game time. I’ve taken an interest in the Cardinals. True story. I can barely believe it myself [...]

Unequipped and Ill-prepared

In the Continuing Saga of My Grocery Store Groupie

January 24, 2009

I had another run in with the broom guy at Fry’s today. Normally I don’t post on the weekends but I couldn’t not fill you in on the latest encounter with my grocery store groupie. So there I was, picking up the limes I forgot to buy yesterday so that my resident bartender could whip [...]
