I’m writing this Wednesday night November 22nd, 2023. This is not a good time for me to write something about how blessed and thankful I am. I am in pain from surgery on my arm. I’ve been a huge pest about it to my friends and coworkers. But, and please pardon my french here, it … Continue reading Thankful For…Uh…Give Me a Minute…

There’s some stuff coming down the pike and I feel like if I write something about it, there could be some therapeutic value in there somewhere. But who knows? I’m staring down the barrel of a gun called “wisdom teeth removal.” A couple of weeks … Continue reading The Agony and the Ecstasy (Actuallly It’s In Reverse Order, But Who’s Counting)
Yeah, I don’t believe that headline either. Let’s start at the beginning. Kalin and I go to lunch everyday. When we go to Ken and Dale’s, they bring a bottle of Heinz Tomato Ketchup and Heinz Mustard to the table. Now…I’m not proud of this. Not proud at all. But one day at lunch, I … Continue reading How I Became A TikTok Superstar
