Every now an then you run across something that makes you think; "Holy shit! I didn't know they made these things!". You buy the thing and it turns out exactly like you thought. I had a problem. We rebuilt our kitchen, and the contractor thought "Hey, it'd be useful to have an outlet at the … Continue reading USB outlets
Bad Grammar
I'm not the best writer in the world. I know this. But it's also not my job. But I read a lot. Have for years. I have to do it professionally, I do it for entertainment. So I really appreciate good writers. If you write for a living, a journalist maybe, you should have some … Continue reading Bad Grammar
Can’t you just do your damn job?
I read somewhere once that Billy Joel was asked now that he was older, did he miss anything? His answer was "competence". I can't agree more.

Especially after our kids were potty trained. That and the recollection of the dogs my family had growing … Continue reading Knock it off, you aren’t the Dog Whisperer
Fundamentals (part one)
I grew up around men who fixed things. And fixed them properly. They showed me the way to do nearly everything, and started with the fundamentals. Things that if you get wrong at the beginning, everything else will be screwed as well. I thought of this as I watched my neighbors fence go up, replacing … Continue reading Fundamentals (part one)
[Screwit] I’m old. Gimme free [stuff]
The actual line is; "Fuckit, I'm old. Gimme free shit", from Justin Halpern's Sh*t my Dad Says." Pretty funny book. That said, I don't feel old. But there's been a lot of "huh...wonder why they said that" going on with me. For instance, I've had a few older ladies, at social functions, ask me "Are you … Continue reading [Screwit] I’m old.
