There’s an old saying - maybe it’s a song - that goes, “You don’t have to go home but you can’t stay here.”
I have a new saying, “If you really want to go home, you probably have no chance in hell…”
Everything started out really well. I dropped off my bitchin’ rental car and made it […]

I’m back in Ohio. It’s been a crazy week and, now, I feel like I need a vacation to recover.
Everything went according to plan - for most of the trip. I flew into L.A. on Thursday and rented a car. The girl at the rental car counter wanted to give me a Chevy Cobalt. I […]

So… my bags are packed (ha!) and I’m ready to fly to L.A. tomorrow morning at the ass-crack of dawn.
I’m in a mental limbo about my trip. This whole adventure has so many pros and cons for me that I’ve actually worked myself into a virtual anxiety attack…
And I hate being stressed at the holidays. […]

So, another birthday has come and gone. Do I feel different? No. Do I feel older? No.
Have things changed? Oh, hells yes!
Because L.A. Daddy got a honkin’, suh-weet, cool-ass birthday present!
I got power tools. Nice, cordless power tools. 18 volts of power power tools. Life is good!

Damn, I’m old. I hate being old. I’d love to say I don’t feel old, but I actually feel older than I am. I’ve got aches and pains on top of aches and pains. I hurt in places I forgot I have places…

“Shorter of breath, and one day, closer to death…”

I can jump and scream […]

I had a bit of excitement yesterday. Sort of a “Welcome back to Ohio”. My friend needed my help to go pick up some firewood so we headed out in my pickup truck. It started snowing pretty hard in the morning, but I didn’t think anything of it.
It was cold enough for the snow to […]

One of my favorite quotes was, and I’m paraphrasing here, that ‘I love deadlines. I love the sound they make as they whoosh by.’
That’s sort of how I’m feeling about all my holidays this year. They have and are just whooshing by. I always have a lot of fun around Halloween… but POOF! it was […]

Yes, it’s true. I’m returning to Los Angeles.
No, not because I couldn’t handle the freakin’ freezing cold temperatures and ankle-deep snow… in NOVEMBER! It’s not permanent.
I’m flying back in December to touch base with my company, do the holiday party thing, and eat a shit-load of sushi. Mostly for the sushi. I’m kind of excited […]
