On 04.05.06 Pat and I got married in the local county courthouse. It was a Wednesday afternoon. It was very windy out, but the sun was shining and it was a warm day (didn’t record the exact temp). And now, in the blink of an eye, 15 years have passed! I’m on my 3rd car, my 3rd hairstyle, and Lord… Read more »
I think I speak for all of us when I say that if I never hear the phrase “The New Normal” ever again it would be just fine. This past year has been very difficult for everyone.

This day was created in 2009 in response to “Kick A Ginger Day” that was created a few years earlier based on an episode of South Park. Insert your own joke here. Red hair is very rare- only 1% to 2% of the population are natural red… Read more »
2020. Decades from now, just the mention of this dumpster fire of a year will still bring back all kinds of unpleasant memories. Thanksgiving looked a lot different for most of us this year (shame on you if it didn’t), and Christmas is going to be more of the same. Does it totally suck? Very much so. More than any… Read more »
