So, Do You Like ... Stuff?

The background is this: Uncle Paul ( Tony’s brother-in-law) has just sent an email attempting to arrange another Sedona hike this winter. Here is Tony’s response, sent eight days after the original email, for what it’s worth: Hi my BOYS, I like something with the  with tectonic plates shifting and grinding and twerking below ground SO I'm in Let's discuss some dates please Time for the BREAKDOWN. Hi my BOYS, The BOYS in all CAPS, to me, represents Tony’s excitement at the all-guys nature of this nature hike. I do not fault him in the least for this. He was similarly excited for our participation in the Tough Mudder when he passionately suggested our team name should be FORCE FLEX. I like something I think this is a good start to any email. We all like something. This is relatable. I am hooked. I like something with the  with tectonic plates It’s safe to say no one in the history of the world has ever penned these words exactly as such.

I think it was second semester when Steve walked in—late, of course—to computer class during our freshman year of high school. He was assigned to sit right next to me, and I decided fairly quickly that I pretty much hated him. He had a casual arrogance, an indifference to everything, the required shirt and tie as sloppy as possible yet mostly hidden behind an absurdly large winter coat that went to his knees. I could smell the smoke and sleep on him the second he sat down. I was annoyed. He seemed to me like a “bad kid” cliché. Being forced to sit next to someone every day will either heighten the angst or relieve the tension, and in this case, it was the latter. We found the common ground of making fun of Mr. Mulligan, our large, red-faced computer teacher. Our seats were in the back corner, against the wall and shielded by a sea of computer monitors, and, combined with Mulligan’s laissez faire style, we could get away with most anything. One day Steve said, “Watch this …” showe...

You know what they say— give a man a good chart and blow his mind for a day. Give a man 10 good charts and feed him for lifetime. Because one of those charts is bound to be about fishing. Anyway, that is the saying. This teaser link is interesting in that it’s not overtly sexual; however, I should mention that I did not actually click on the link, so it very well might be—probably is , actually—10 sex charts. That will blow a lot of minds. But even if this link isn’t about sex charts, good luck getting me NOT to click a teaser link about charts … despite the fact that I recently admitted to not clicking on this particular link. I was busy at the time and then I forgot. My point is that I love charts and enjoy having my mind blown by the intensity of various charts. Charts4dayyysszz is my motto and also my Instagram handle. Instagram is another good place to go for charts. If you follow me. Most people there post pictures, which is hella lame. #charts The chart on this ...

Well here I am thinking I know everything there is to know about the Ivory Coast. Here are 18 things I DID know about the Ivory Coast: 1)       It’s a place. 2)       It’s coastal. 3)       It’s where ivory comes from (?). 4)       Dudes are mad buff. 5)       “Welcome to the IC, bitch.” 6)       Oh it’s on Wikipedia. 7)       It is a country in West Africa. 8)       Its capital is Yamoussoukro. 9)       Felix Houphouët-Boigny's one-party rule was not amenable to political competition. I could go on—my 18 and yours are probably samsies—but you get the point. This teaser ad is right in my wheelhouse because most of my time spent on the Internet is a subconscious search for obscure Ivory Coast information that I can shove in...

I had the girls for a few hours, SOLO, over the weekend. I decided, hey, let’s do something fun! It should be mentioned that this thought process never produces positive results, but I was convinced that this time it would. I am a sucker. It was the first day since April that it wasn’t 100-something degrees, so I thought we should take advantage. (I remember being a kid in New Jersey when it would hit like 50 degrees on a random late winter day, and I’d excitedly venture outside wearing shorts and a T-shirt. It’s the same thing here, just the complete opposite—it’s 99 degrees and slightly overcast, so I put on a hooded sweatshirt and search the neighborhood for signs of life amid the scorched earth.) I grabbed the Razor scooter our youngest had received for her birthday and the bike that was ALSO hers but that I would let our oldest ride. They spotted me putting air in the bike’s tires and darn near lost their minds at the realization we’d be riding around the neighborhood. Now, ...
