My friend Carl made an interesting about my last post. He referred to what he called social currency and compared the internet to being like the modern day water cooler or bar-the place we go to talk about life. I certainly think that is true on several levels and to a certain extent, but to… Continue reading Spetmeber 21, 2013

I wish I was a less shallow person. I don’t think that shallow might be the best word to describe what I’m talking about exactly, but the lazy writer in me says that, as a writer, I can re-purpose a word that I think might be close enough to what I’m going for. The trying-to-be-more-engaged… Continue reading September 18, 2013

I was reading an article last week that someone or ones, a group of scientists I’m sure, came up with a clock that is 100 times more accurate than the previous most accurate clock. This got me thinking about time (which got me thinking about this song for today’s soundtrack) Time, or more accurately the… Continue reading Saturday, August 31, 2013

For a while now, I’ve been convinced that my right ear is deformed. Wait. I forgot I wanted to have a soundtrack. It just so happened to be the last song I heard on my walk this morning, so it doesn’t necessarily mean anything, but it doesn’t help that I have a weak thing for… Continue reading Saturday, August 24th, 2013
Last Call!
I’ve been thinking a lot about this story lately. It’s kind of odd that I wrote this one before I got more into the mixology end of bartending-creating new cocktails rather than just pouring drinks-but it’s always stuck with me and I wanted to share it. Almost empty even though it was just after… Continue reading Last Call!
How long is intermission?
I like the movie “Bull Durham” a lot. I was going to say that at the beginning of the second paragraph, and I probably still will, but I feel if I didn’t say it also at the beginning of the first paragraph, you might not make it to the second paragraph, especially if you are… Continue reading How long is intermission?
stars and thoughts
I went six plus weeks without visiting my own website. I can’t go six days without visiting a bar, but I can pass up on what I profess to be important to me for over six weeks and seemingly be okay with it. I have lots of reasons why I haven’t been here, all of… Continue reading stars and thoughts
It was the year that was
It was exactly a year ago today that my life changed in a pretty big way. I know that for a fact, not because I’ve suddenly become good at remembering dates, but because I can look over to where Stacie hung that big fake check I got and the date on it is “October 18,… Continue reading It was the year that was
The skin and the bones
Like most people, I harbor a fantasy about winning the lottery. Unlike most people, I find myself daydreaming about elaborate scenarios of just what I would do not only if I won but how it would be different depending on how much I won. Let’s face it, a $1o million fantasy is probably a lot… Continue reading The skin and the bones
Don’t let the messenger shoot you
I spend a lot of time on Facebook, sometimes so much so that I would classify it as “too much”. I could try to explain it away as simply trying to stay in touch with the cultural zeitgeist (man, I love that word. So happy I got to use it. It’s part of my holy… Continue reading Don’t let the messenger shoot you
