Early last year we decided we wanted to save some money for a real live vacation. A family vacation, sure, but one where we’d still need to save some money. We had gone to Disney World the year prior (I won a trip, expenses were quite low), so Disneyland was intriguing to us. My favorite […]
I know all five of you were wondering. started new job got COVID got pneumonia stayed lazy Two and a half of those still apply. I make no promises moving forward.
I run a tight ship around here. When I say “jump,” my kids say “in a minute.” So when I say it’s time for school, rest assured we’ll get there eventually. Here’s what that looked like yesterday (this could be literally any day). The setting: the boys are playing knee hockey in the basement, the […]
Late last night a story broke about New York Mets GM Jared Porter sending “explicit, unsolicited texts and images to a female reporter in 2016.” He has since been fired, hence the title.

At my place of employment we have something called “Retail Radio.” It’s exactly what it sounds like; it’s the station pumping an eclectic mix of music throughout the building.

Let’s examine. OK, this seems promising. OT? Against the Gophers? Not ideal. But it’s the Axe and a win’s a win. Still a good day. I didn’t watch one second of those Badger games. I have a job. You may have heard. I saw the second half of this game. I wish I hadn’t. I’m […]

Tom Brady and Bill Belichick teamed up to win the AFC East 17 times in that timespan, going to the Super Bowl nine times, and coming out as World Champions six times. That’s unparalleled success in the modern era. Arguably […]
For some reason that I’ve yet to figure out, my retail job, a profession that largely relies on weekend business to be successful, keeps scheduling me on the weekends. The Green Bay Packers, a football team that plays in a league that largely plays games on the weekends, also continue to play games on the […]
As I performed the nightly ritual of stumbling from sleeping on the couch to sleeping in my actual bed, a chilling thought crossed my mind: how are American soap operas holding up in the world we live in today? In that fleeting moment I hadn’t even considered the pandemic. I’m sure that had an affect, […]
I’m not necessarily in any rush for things to get back to “normal” because I’m always looking for new ways to judge people. So I’m riding pretty high right now. One of the few things in life that I do enjoy however, is watching the occasional motion picture. Even in the best of times, I […]
