There is already a small coffee shop, owned by Tweek’s folks, that is threatened by this larger company coming into town. The whole theme of […]

Speaker, Number, Tone, Send
One of the big wigs here doesn’t know how to use the fax machine. He knows how to email, make complicated spreadsheets in Excel, and use a phone, but somehow the fax machine’s intricate workings are beyond him. I am not technically supposed to fax for him. I hope that one day I will be […]
Cornucopia
One of my favorite words of all time is cornucopia. Not only does it sound cool, but it is a rather useful word, finding it’s way into casual conversation at least once a day for me. Typically it is preceded by “virtual,” but I have been known to use it solo. Of late, my head […]

Spellcheck, Uncle Junior, Mr. Pink, and Chankara Stones
This weekend was quite eventful, as most of my 3 day weekends are. Milca’s mom is in Argentina vacationing and taking classes in tango. She takes classes here, but thought it would be fun to go to the home of tango, and visit her home country too. She hasn’t been there in over a decade, […]

I keep up on the comments and stats for this site pretty well. If someone found the site from another site, I’ll know. If there were 6 people that visited my […]
The fucking man
The store I work in used to be owned by the group that we share the building with. They are still customers, one of our biggest, in fact, but they have no direct control or say when it comes to policies and whatnot. The organization we share the building with has a reputation for being […]
Check, check, check, and check
My uncle Mike has been a role model as long as I can remember. He has been with the same woman for years, Karen, though they haven’t married. He went to the same high school that I did, and would play the Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom video game. I have never seen […]
Side Project
Here‘s the site where I’ll be reviewing movies. I’m going to try and get a review for everything I get from Netflix up there, as well as other films I have seen or will see. I’m trying to steer clear of spoilers, but I’m not perfect. At any rate, if you are interested in being […]
