In an attempt to thwart the rising gas prices I have made a decision that will inevitably decrease both our fuel costs as well as every last ounce of manhood I possess (of which I had much)- my new mode of transportation will soon be a scooter. Not just any scooter, but a 125CC beast aptly named ‘Buddy’ from Genuine Scooters. Laughing are you? Well [...]
After what seemed like the longest weekend of my entire life – packing, loading, moving, unloading, unpacking, sleeping – we have reached probably 80% completion on our move. Sure, there are still a few boxes glaring at us from each bedroom, our garage is still coated with boxes of Christmas past, but at least we can see the floor in our kitchen – and oh [...]

All of these magical components bundle together in order to serve one higher purpose – canoe trippage. That’s right – I’m embarking on a mystical journey with three other primates into the nefarious jungle in order to heed the man yell grumbling deep within us all. Or, [...]
Well, it’s been a considerably long time since I graced this blog with my presence and felt it necessary to do so today for no reason at all.
