At some point, I think everyone has thought it was a different day of the week than it actually was. Sometimes it’s Tuesday, but you think it’s Thursday. That can be a real let-down. (I’m not really sure when to use hyphens, so I just pretend). Today was a good day. For some reason unknown … More Good things are great
I don’t know what particular component of the two is so outstanding: the biscuit or the gravy, but the combination of the two is nothing short of fantastic. That warm flaky tasty bomb of a biscuit drowning in spicy gray matter of grease and pork. Mmm MMM! It is with that inspiration that I bring … More Gravy = Fuel
I like beer. There’s no shame in that, right? One of my favorite blogs is the KC Beer Blog. I am continually amazed by (and envious of) their frequent attendance of the area’s finest (and not so fine) beer serving establishments. On that note: KC is the lucky recipient of the newest Flying Saucer Draught … More I like beer
I’m lucky that my wife is not only the better looking but smarter member of our pair. As usual, I rolled out in semi-awake fashion, not realizing until I was 9 miles out that I left my cell phone and pager (90’s pimp style) at home. Being without a cell phone, I was unable to … More …better than one
Holy crap. April is gone, and our wedding tour of the Midwest is taking its toll on my energy, time, and wallet. I wasn’t able to get a camping trip in during the month of April. I don’t know if I’m allowed to make it up or not. I guess that kind of forfeits my … More Reality sucks
I rode over to the 75th Street Brewery on Wedneday night to enjoy a couple of beers and catch Flannigan’s Right Hook. They are an Irish/Rock/Bluegrass band consisting of a guitarist, electric violinist, and a drummer. The show was impressive and diverse. Many of the songs would be expected: Beatles covers, traditional Irish instrumentals, Neal … More Beer, Nintendo, and Leg Lamps
I was late this morning again. I swear that I set my alarm for 5:50, but me lady woke me up at 6:17 to ask if I was biking in. Crap. I somehow managed to gather some clothes, make lunch, and pack everything (along with a few other morning dooties) and be out the door … More Another late start
May is National Bike Month, and May 12 – 16 is National Bike to Work Week. So get out and ride! I can understand how biking to work is difficult to get started, but with a little additional planning, it’s easily attainable. Commuting by bike for a week can push a person’s comfort level, and … More Bike to Work Week
I woke up late yesterday. It was just one of those mornings. Ladyfriend has class in the evening, so we don’t carpool. Time to bike. If I was smart, I would pack my clothes and food at night instead of scrambling in the morning. But I’m not smart like that. I’m never sure if I’ve … More Sleeping in
Ugh… Have you ever watched a documentary or read about something that completely depressed you? The Lady and I watched National Geographic’s Strange Days on Planet Earth Dangerous Catch; Dirty Secrets. It covered a few unsavory topics: over fishing, fresh water contamination, and the trash island between California and Hawai’i. I have heard of this … More Trash Island
