Regular Life

Note: Mr. B and Mrs. B have been renamed Sir B and Lady B. The other implied they were our elders.
With the flurry of activity here regarding my recent weekend of meeting online friends without getting murdered, I haven’t had a chance to mention a first Shannon and I had with Sir B [...]

How would you like it if a bar full of people knew you and your spouse as “the ’80’s-loving couple?”
It didn’t bother us. And it didn’t bother me that those college guys got my wife drunk, nor that more than one set of strangers’ breasts brushed against my back at random times throughout the [...]

What if you replaced the word “bodacious” in Nelly’s megahit “Hot in Herre?” I think I’ve found just the word.
As you might suspect after reading here, I enjoy writing. That is a symptom of my love for words, and sometimes I will adjust an entire paragraph just to use one I like. [...]

Today’s post title comes from a search term that lately has lots of people landing here. Last year, I posted a very well-received Free Christmas Song Each Day page. I posted at least one song each day, until all 19 were out there. I figured some folks reading this either a) didn’t know about that, [...]

If you haven’t heard this and you are or have been the parent of at least a three or four-year-old, then you will get a kick out of it and maybe even be moved by the time he finishes. It has been played more than a million times so far and has been played on [...]

Road trip.
What was the first thing that popped into your head when you read those two words up there? Excited anticipation? Abject fear? Convenience store restrooms to rival the loo in Trainspotting?
What if you are driving eight hours to see a rock band comprised (mostly) of 50-something men attempting to recapture something they last shared [...]
