Revenge of Schoolly D

Worst headline ever in a long time: UPS: A Big Brown Disappointment

Down by contact

Ahoy, dear readers! Sorry for the lack of posts; I was down-n-out with some sorta flu yesterday. I made it into the office for an hour or so, then gave up and came home to rest. The construction across the street — our neighbor’s building an addition on his house — made sure that I [...]

V for Vitamin

Those of you who pretend to know me through this blog pretend to know that I’m a creature of habit. When something works out for me, I stick with it till it fails. Then I kick it to the curb. When I break from this practice, I tend to get screwed. Last week week, for [...]

Road(kill) Warrior

Dear strange orange shadow-race of people who live on the edge of my suburban NJ town: Please stop eating the squirrels.
