Hipster Chain Letter Game Claims Roguishly Good Looking Victim
Okay, maybe not so snarky, but still, I don’t think I know eight other
people to send this thing to. I’m a popular guy, don’t make that
mistake, but most people I know don’t have websites… This will be
interesting.
Anyway, many thanks to kenspeckle for sticking the proverbial [...]

Though it seems a little strange to me to go on an organized hike, I put my doubts aside this weekend and took part in the 25th annual Hike & Hound. (Well, not 25th annual, but it’s not the first one, I know that.)

We started by driving about an hour out of NYC to [...]

I took a nice little jaunt back up to my homeland last weekend. Greg and I (along with a few others) went up to the house in Chatham and enjoyed a few nice nights in peace and quiet. Well, except for Saturday night, the Night of Speed! [...]

Wednesday, June 20, 2007 marks the end of 22 years of van ownership in the Kennedy family. I know, I know, it feels strange simply looking at the words I just typed, but they are true. This Wednesday, my father, the man who guided me, who provided the moral blueprint for my entire [...]

I was having a conversation with a friend last night on the merits of reverse psychology. We were talking about child development and how there is actually a period of time in a child’s life (around 5 or 6 I think) when they are learning to rebel, but still don’t want to be a [...]

When I returned to Valatie yesterday I was greeted with a disturbing sight as I crested the hill by the hardware store and rounded the corner on Rt. 9, heading toward my neighborhood.
The Grand Union, a mainstay of Valatie grocery needs since the 70s (and possibly before) was closed down, empty, vacant. Gone was the [...]

Once, when I was a young buck working fast food, I was working the drive-thru window one afternon when a rather irate man pulled around to the window and demanded to know the total for his order. Now, to avoid confusion, you, the reader, should know that the place I worked at had one [...]

It pains me as I write this, but last Sunday I gave up the novel. This makes it two years in a row that I wasn’t able to bring home the bacon. Two years of failure. Two years of half finished pieces of crap taking up space on my hard drive, never to [...]

That’s right. Between my toes. I took off my shoes last night and that’s what I found. Dirt.
There is a perfectly logical reason for this. I haven’t given up bathing or anything (granted, yesterday was a day I skipped, so the dirt had two days to congregate), I just had a [...]
