May 31, 2025 I can't say that we've all been there. I can't say that it's happened to everybody. But one day, it will happen to you. It all begins at the grocery store, you've put this trip off long enough. The fridge is empty, the cupboard bare. Suck it up buddy, it's that time of the week. Grab your bags and your list and load up them coupons to your phone. You can do this. You walk up and down the aisles, your mundane day of shopping for groceries has led you to the

May 30, 2025 Well, we missed the boat on this one as Cinco de Mayo has come and gone. And too bad really, because these would have been a lot easier to make had Trump and his goon squad not deported half of America's kitchen staff. What were they thinking? I mean Esmerelda worked diligently at the Trump family kitchen for 35 years...and now she's back home in what Trump himself would refer to as her "shithole country". So elegant from a man of such grace and refinery. Th

May 29, 2025 Winning is a great thing. To quote the late Yankee legend Billy Martin, "when you're winning, the cigars are smoother, the drinks are colder and the women are hotter." Yes, winning is awesome and it doesn't happen too often. Relish it when it happens, hold onto every split second of that feeling of utter greatness as it'll be a while until it comes again. All glory is fleeting and sparse. It's what makes it so horribly frustrating when victory is swept out f

May 28, 2025 Well, here we are, a 150 days into this blog adventure, and for once, I have nothing. I am at a loss. I could always just write about the latest nonsense from the criminal in chief. But that's too easy. Let's see, what did the asshole do today? You know what? Who gives a fuck? Well, I have an answer for that, nobody...well, I guess that isn't entirely true. There are a few of us out there actually paying attention. A few. Sure, I guess us slovenly libera

May 27th, 2025 A three legged table never wobbles. Just don't sit on the edge of it. A valuable lesson in life, and in the workshop. She's a fine table she is! Steady Betty they called her.

May 26, 2025 After what seemed like 40 days and 40 nights of never ending rain, the Gods above shined mightily on us today. I'm very proud of my son William who marched for the first time in today's parade with the Roxbury High School Marching Band. (He's the blonde long hair in the middle with the trumpet...just follow the big yellow arrow!) I have always had a fondness for Memorial Day to begin with as it ushers in the summer and honors our veterans. And I won't lie to y

Chapter 11 All Good Things Must Come To an End Life can certainly be a funny thing sometimes.  Just when you’re up, something will come...

May 24, 2025 Life is a sidewalk to nowhere. We walk endlessly trying our damnedest to get to our destination, only to find our paths often come to an inglorious end. Imagine that...battling so hard to get home, to get to our loved ones, to struggle so mightily to finish our journey after a hard day's work only to find our road comes to a halt. What a pisser! I tell you what, nothing says human incompetence more than a sidewalk to nowhere. Nothing says, welcome to our town

May 23, 2025 Squirrels can be down right cute. They can be pretty darned comical if you watch them long enough. Sometimes you wish you could just pick one up and cuddle with it. But then you start feeding the birds and they destroy your birdfeeders. Then you try to grow fruits and vegetables and they decimate your crop. Half the time just taking one little chunk out of something and then leaving it for you to see. "Yeah, I took one bite out of that, what are you going t

May 22, 2025 I've never been one to listen to bosses, which is probably why I'm a 47-year-old man cutting lawns for a living. But that's a whole different story for another time. All that being said, there is one boss that has had the courage to speak up, and for once, I am listening. That's right, the boss I'm speaking about is the "Boss" himself, Bruce Springsteen. Bruce, over the weekend, was able to say the quiet parts out loud. While most of us keep our mouths shut o

May 21, 2025 I can't think of a more useless piece of military equipment than the Y-wing of the Rebel Alliance. I mean, think about it, have you ever seen a Y-wing make it out of a battle? It's like the whipping boy of spaceships in the galaxy far far away. You might as well be a redshirt yeoman on the Starship Enterprise for crying out loud! Can you imagine it? You've just escaped the dreaded claws of the evil Galactic Empire, you've gone though rebel boot camp and fligh

May 20, 2025 It is with a heavy heart, and a light beer, that we mourn the loss of actor George Wendt. At 76 years young, George, better known to the world as Norm from the hit television show Cheers has passed on to the great barstool in the sky. If you don't know who this man is, then shame on you...go educate yourself on the YouTube for a good laugh. George, or Norm as I knew him was one of the reasons I ended up being a bartender. My father and I used to watch Cheers e

May 19, 2025 I think I may be getting too old to be landscaping. I'm only two months in and already I feel beat up. When I get home at night I kind of feel like Indiana Jones in Raider's of the Lost Ark. You know the famous scene, right? After being dragged behind a truck, shot in the arm and getting the piss beat out of him by a gigantic German muscle head he escapes on a boat with the Ark. Sitting in the captains chambers he takes off his shirt, his body covered in cut

May 17, 2025 I just finished watching Andor Season 2 on Disney Plus. This, along with season one, has to be the absolute best film series I have seen in the last 25 plus years. Hands down a masterpiece of cinematic genius. And if you don't agree then your a moron. That is all. Elbows up people, we're not too far off...
