After I'd spent two nights in Virginia Beach, I headed back to Richmond, where I would stay for the remainder of my vacation. As I've mentioned (I think) in previous posts about this particular trip, I was not looking for anything exotic or exciting. I was looking for a chance to relax as much as … Continue reading Oh, The Places I’ve Been, Part 3

Oh, The Places I’ve Been, Part 2
I get the feeling that the first post about my recent vacation was kind of boring. I mean, who wants to read a guy's complaints about two out of his three hotel rooms? So let's move on. Today, we'll cover that time I went to the beach. I can honestly say that I've been to … Continue reading Oh, The Places I’ve Been, Part 2
Oh, The Places I’ve Been, Part 1
Kids, I just got back from vacation and boy are my arms tired. Wait, I don't think I told that one right.

But those experiences really feel like too … Continue reading Oh, The Places I’ve Been, Part 1
The 5 Talkers You Meet at the Movies
It happens almost every time I try to go see a movie. According to statistics that I'm making up on the spot, one out of every 250 people is a movie talker.

And while all of those little slips of paper are not always blogworthy, it's incredibly fortunate when one comes across one that is. This weekend I took a quick trip to Raleigh and spent an evening dining on Chinese takeout with some … Continue reading Fortune and Glory

These animals are just looking for some food and for some reason will not listen to your well rehearsed speech about manifest destiny and eminent domain. Bears, like most animals, get … Continue reading Hungry Bears
Why Do We Cry?
I spend a lot of time on the Facebook. Well, more than I used to. I don't consider it an unhealthy amount. But I also don't consider my caffeine intake an unhealthy amount, though I'm well aware of my severe addiction to the stuff. But I noticed a status update from a friend. Apparently she … Continue reading Why Do We Cry?
I Cannot Trust My Own Ears
I very rarely listen to the radio. In my long drives to and from work, I'm usually listening to audio books to fill the time. When I feel like listening to music as I'm driving around town, it's courtesy of my iPod and all the music that I know I'll want to listen to. If … Continue reading I Cannot Trust My Own Ears
Where Am I Going?
Do you realize that I have not been on an actual vacation since 2008? Don't get me wrong, I've taken time off here and there. But all that time off ends up being spent at home because I'm never able to afford to leave town. The staycation has been played out for this guy. I … Continue reading Where Am I Going?
3 Reasons Why I’m a Horrible Person
Do you ever wonder if you're a horrible person? Well, I don't have to wonder. I know. About myself, I mean. I have no idea if you are horrible. That's between you and God. If you're nice or, at least, attempting to be nice, you're probably saying I can't be that bad. You've probably read … Continue reading 3 Reasons Why I’m a Horrible Person
