Absolutely nothing going on at work today worth talking about. Totally boring. Oh, wait: Somebody brought the most awful Christmas candy ever to work, a huge blob of marshmallows smothered in chocolate. With nuts. It was disgusting. I ate some anyway because, you know, can’t pass up Christmas candy. It’s like they threw together the …

I don’t know if your city has one of these, but here in Madison we have a radio station, WOLX, that plays Christmas music 24/7. It’s overkill if you ask me, but never mind, I can turn it off and I sure don’t want to be thought of as an enemy soldier in the War …
Here’s the bad thing about blizzards: You have to go out in them. Or rather, I supposed you don’t have to if you don’t mind the roof caving in under the crushing weight of accumulated snow, or you never want to ever back your car out of your driveway for the rest of the week. …
We’ve been blizzarded upon. It’s not a lot of snow, only a foot, maybe a little more, but the city of Madison announced last night that all non-essential services were going to be closed for business today. So did virtually every school district for a hundred miles in every direction. “Stay off the roads,” the …
So! My Darling B and I are hoping that the snow brought by the humunguous winter storm currently dumping on Our Fair City will be much heavier and more catastrophic than expected, which would be pretty much impossible, because every news service from Channel 3000 to The Wisconsin State Journal are predicting conditions so incredibly …

I say it doesn’t count until it accumulates and it sticks. It can snow all it likes and even build up on lawns and on top of cars, but if it all melts off an hour after it falls, it’s not really The First Snow. “That’s just really stupid,” was Tim’s opinion of my opinion, …
Friday night we ate another Thanksgiving dinner at the invitation of my aunt Sue and uncle Jim. We were glad to accept, partly because they know how to put on a huge spread of delicious food, but mostly because their son Mikey and daughter Carrie were going to be there, and Mikey brought his friend …
Tim came by for Thanksgiving dinner. We baited him with a prime rib roast, mashed potatoes and stuffing, all food that used to make him stampede to the table. These days, not so much, but today he made sure to come by and we sat down to have a delightful dinner with sparkling conversation. Prime …
It’s the Thanksgiving Post! Here’s what I’m thankful for: For twenty years I’ve been lucky enough to remind myself, Hey! I’m married! every day. I always suspected I might be, but by about the time I was twenty-eight or twenty-nine I was starting to doubt it would happen, and then BAM! I met The Girl. …
The Asian beetles have moved indoors. That’s how you know it’s winter in Wisconsin now. It used to be that it snowed a lot and got so cold that the hairs in your nose stuck together. Now it means that Asian beetles bap into your face while you’re trying to eat dinner. I hate these …
