...everyone has had jobs.  Well...ok...maybe not that one douchy relative that seems to perpetually be overqualified or "disagreeing on some things" with the boss.  But ALMOST everyone has had jobs.  And usually people roll through a few jobs before landing in one that they stay with...

....ahoy my merry handful of readers.  I was gone for some time on a spiritual sojourn (that incidentally has left me much much less spiritual) but like Odysseus, I have returned. Actually, what happened was less a self-searching journey and more a "bored with writing the blog" hiatus. ...

...They are not for skinny kids from that Great Plains who hate cold weather. I was recently talking to a friend of mine about an incident that occurred during one of her family ski trips and it reminded me of all the ill-fated times that I had stupidly ventured out onto the snowy mountainside...

...Sometime last year I finally convinced myself to go to the dentist again.  It had been roughly 8 years since my last appointment and something told me that a time span approaching a decade wasn't in compliance with the recommended regularity of visits.  Truth be told, my kids were due...

...and after last night's thrashing, there may be some questions as to how THIS particular White Sox team has managed to keep the race tight. I'm going to go with my own theory here:  It's a liberal left conspiracy.  There isn't any other way to explain it.  The god-hating,...

...you have to admit...that has a great ring to it. That's the big news this morning regarding the Twins and the trade deadline.  Capps, the closer for the cellar-dweller Nats, has notched about 26 saves and only blown a handful in the process.  The web's all atwitter about whether this...

...Every morning we go through the same routine at my house.  My wife wakes up much earlier than I and undertakes all the morning "chores" including making coffee, putting the dogs outside and bitching at me about sleeping in past 7.  Then, after I stumble out of bed, spend 10 minutes...

...This post over at 27b/6 might be the funniest thing I've read this year.  Man, that's good stuff.  Go there, and read it...or risk dying having not read it only to be ridiculed by everyone in Heaven (or Hell, you immoral heathen) because they DID read it.  God...DON'T BE SO DUMB!!!

...I always get anxious when we play against the Royals.  I shouldn't.  I mean, they're pretty terrible.  And it seems to me that we've done OK against them as of late.  But they hit really well and they have a couple good hurlers.  I'm always leery of how the lineup is...
