I Feel Your Pain If I see one more bumper sticker crowing about how awesome someone’s kid is, I might just have to side swipe their car, thus sending these pretentious jackasses careening into the ditch below. Honest to God, can you just get over yourselves already and stop with the self-congratulatory affirmations meant to […]
The iPhone at the Bottom of the Pool
The iPhone at the Bottom of the Pool Ah, it’s good to be back from vacation, so I can unleash more hyperbolic nonsense upon an unsuspecting world. Later this summer, the family and I will head back East for a week at my parents’ place in New Hampshire, but for this week with my kids, […]

But then something comes across my […]
The Loss of a Mythical Figure
The Loss of a Mythical Figure It doesn’t often rain in Colorado, but when it does, it sure can come down in buckets. Today is precisely one of those days. The rain is pouring down relentlessly, and the dog is nestled up at my feet as I drink coffee and stare out into the gloomy, eerie […]
The 450 Pound Gorilla in the Room
The 450 Pound Gorilla in the Room I don’t generally write articles regarding the local goings-on of Cincinnati, Ohio. In fact, other than the occasional Herb Tarlick or Johnny Fever reference, I try to avoid mentioning anything in Cincy whatsoever, but the national news has been abuzz recently with the tragic circumstances that occurred […]
