Yesterday, my friend Caitlyn offered to provide a writing prompt to some folks on Twitter. I accepted the challenge. She gave me the first sentence. The rest was up to me... "Let's go, sugarbeet," he said and snapped on the light. He was holding two duffle bags, one very light, the other very heavy. It … Continue reading Let’s Go, Sugarbeet

Question of the Week #70
When did you last yell at someone? Why? Did you later regret it? I do the vast majority of my yelling in either the safety of my car or in order to be heard over a large group of small humans. In the car, I feel like it's okay to yell because the idiot driver … Continue reading Question of the Week #70

The Three Rivers Crowd
Kids, I'm gonna tell you the absolutely true story of how I went to Pittsburgh for dinner. But to get the whole story, we have to go back to the year 2004. It was a night like any other.

Well, the closest thing I can find to a straight line is one of the curviest roads that you can find in this part of Virginia. See, it's … Continue reading A Road Rage Rant

The Single Guy vs. The Ninja Turtle
The following tale is based on actual events which occurred several years ago... Over the last few days, I've posted some fairly serious content here. While it's not necessarily out of character for me to post something that's of a serious nature, it is a bit odd that I've done it for several consecutive days. … Continue reading The Single Guy vs. The Ninja Turtle
Question of the Week #49
While parking late at night, you slightly scrape the side of a Porsche. You are certain no one else is aware of what happened. The damage is minor and would not be covered by insurance. Would you leave a note? There was a time when I would say no, I wouldn't. My logic would be … Continue reading Question of the Week #49
