I don’t like driving at night. Yes, I realize that makes me sound like someone’s Nana, but it’s true. Will I drive at night? If I have to, but I generally try to avoid it. Night vision has always been something of a problem for me. When I first got...
My ten year old daughter, Paige, just started at a brand new school on Thursday after two years of homeschooling. The nerves about it have been evident for months as we’ve prepared, and talked the decision through at nauseum. She needs a lot of...
I heard recently on a podcast that studies have shown cursing is a sign of intelligence. I really fucking want to believe it. However, my complete lack of understanding of most math makes me think otherwise. I’m a pretty good person overall. I love...
We got the gang together at a one-of-a-kind happy hour at Lamar’s House. Lamar cooked up some tasty BBQ covered in Slather’s amazing sauce and our friends at Toadfish gave us some awesome gear to party in. Grab your Slatherin’...

I had a whole other topic to write on and post for you today. It’s funny how life takes sharp turns, when you aren’t expecting, but a new story lay out before me in a whirlwind, and must be told: The story of when Nash the Backyard Steer came to...
My daughter (and only child) leaves home in less than a month. I just need things to slow down. I didn’t think it would be over so soon. I’m not ready. I’m seriously on the struggle bus. I knew it was going to be hard, but as it turns out, it’s...
