Listening to a young woman’s lament regarding her struggle to conceive made me reflect on the role The Original Pizza Cookery played in my own journey into parenthood.
I’m out for my nightly walk, and the last thing I need is a creepy little bald training monk jumping out of the bushes at me. I know he’s around here somewhere.
No one is talking about this mutant blue frog’s pompadour, so I will. His name is The Big Hopper. It was either that or Buddy Polly-wog. It’s true that it has blue skin, but I want to know if anyone is working on a matching pair of suede shoes for him. He could wear them […]
I misread “Texas Prepares” as “Tax Preparers” and it made the headline so much more unsettling.
How does a phone call between two people end up on my voicemail? Seriously, if you know, please tell me.
What do you see in this painting?
One of my biggest peeves is people crowding me at the check stand. It’s one of the things I thought COVID might permanently solve, but just like all of the other COVID related paradigm shifts, it came back.
This is the incredible, but true, story about how a rat stole my AirPods, destroyed them, and then returned them to me.
The 1994 Northridge earthquake shook me to my core. For the first year and a half afterward I didn’t think I would ever recover from that morning. I’m not entirely sure I have.
Kevin!
Sometimes I wonder if the internet’s democratization of everything is an entirely good thing.
This sangria recipe will be a hit with all of your friends and family this fall.
I’ve done some bad jobs, but I’ve managed to avoid wet work so far.
My friend Brian always says, when the student is ready, the teacher arrives. I’ve seen that quote play out in my life countless times, but never so much as when, on a whim, I decided to try my first diet.
You can recover your old retro dining chairs yourself. It’s easy to do and it will save you money! Follow this tutorial to learn how.
I used the Porter Cable 4216 Dovetail Jig to cut sliding dovetails into a Jatoba to build a little shelf for a wall mount corkscrew.
This is just unabashed, late-stage capitalism. We’ve run out of ideas, but we still got to service that debt! It might be excusable to import sand to someplace like Nebraska where beach sand might be scarce. But this jar of sand is for sale at Lowe’s, just 20 miles from the beach, where you can […]
I’ll never understand the selective laziness of the person who goes to the trouble to leave their house, buys a bottle of water, puts forth the effort to drill a hole in the cap of the bottle, and procures a bendy straw just to drink as much water as the bendy straw can reach. Then […]
My Introduction To The Comedy Stylings of Mr. Leo Gallagher I guess I was about 14 the first time I saw Gallagher. My mom and I were visiting my brother in Colorado. The three of us and his girlfriend were sitting around the living room in their old, rundown, single-wide trailer when Gallagher’s “We Need […]
Imagine four different people all deciding to list their piano for free at the same time.
I know there is a lot of speculation that wine is generally gluten-free and safe for those afflicted with a sensitivity to wheat/gluten, but I’m not so sure. It should be safe being grapes, yeast, and sulfites, but it doesn’t always seem to be. Depending on who you ask, there are elements of the winemaking […]
My DJI Mavic Air recently fell out of the sky quite unexpectedly. Its tumble to Earth left the left-rear motor smooshed and deformed and wouldn’t spin freely anymore. I didn’t even think to replace the whole arm on my Mavic Air initially. At first, I tried to see if I could simply replace the motor […]
“He was working on other patients”? My sister asked in shock and disbelief when Bonnie, my wife, told her that I had made an emergency visit to the dentist. Apparently, her dentist is such a germaphobe that he doesn’t even shake hands let alone see more than one patient at a time during this interminable […]
I don’t know the history of this book or even how we came to own it. The only thing I know about the book is that Bonnie’s niece borrowed it once. Then the little tart returned it in this sorry state. It wasn’t in mint condition when she took it but for fucks sake… So […]
August 19, 2000, was a Saturday, 3 days after my 22nd birthday. I was prone to think about my adoption story and the family I never knew around this time of year but I wasn’t thinking about it at all that night. No, that night I had other things on my mind. I was a […]
I’ve always enjoyed the grocery store ever since I was a little kid. Like all of the most important parts of our lives, the grocery store fades into the background like the soft music playing overhead, as you meander the aisles.
It’s not uncommon for me to eat the same thing every day. For the past 2.5 years, I have eaten 3 fried eggs and 2 pieces of sourdough toast with strawberry preserves for breakfast seven days a week. What can I say? When I find something I like I stick with it. My daily pizza […]
Prologue I made a video several years ago about cleaning grease and tobacco off a kitchen ceiling. The video demonstrated my process of cleaning a kitchen ceiling. It was not a tutorial about how to clean grease off your kitchen ceiling. But little did I know that the only thing that viewers of that video […]
