  1. #21 - Lessons Learned

    I just filled my quota, and then some, in the “learn something new every day” field. This morning, I finally took the plunge and signed up for Facebook. An amazing tool! Within minutes, I managed to track down one of my high school buddies, Seth Harris. Seth and I played Dungeons & Dragons, in a group of (on the whole) likeminded purveyors of curses and off-color humor – the raunchier and more perverse, the better. He accepted my “friend” request, and I dashed off a suitable greeting to...
  2. #20 - Time to Shampoo

    I can still hear the shower running. Sophia’s been in there almost an hour now, and I fear all that scrubbing will leave a nasty rash if she doesn’t get out soon. If there’s a moral to this story, it must be: some people aren’t meant to swim. We’ve lived in a pool and tennis association for the past five years. Though I’ve used both facilities on numerous occasions (in an effort to get my money’s worth from the absurd annual recreation dues), my wife hasn’t deigned to dip even a...
  3. #16 - Holy Mary, Full of Grace, Among Other Things

    I’m pretty sure the apocalypse is near. How do I know? Because, yesterday, my in-laws moved into their new home – down the street from ours – contravening my well-publicized vow that “I’ll live in the same neighborhood with my wife’s parents the day hell freezes over!” No good can come of this close proximity either. Ever since the disastrous initial meeting with the Gambino clan, my relationship with most of Sophia’s family has been a mite tenuous. Nonetheless, being a guy who...
  4. #12 - Short Term Disobedience

    If I didn’t know better, I’d swear my new part Yorkie, part Shih Tzu puppy, Prometheus, must be a blood relative. At the least – if this morning’s abbreviated session at obedience school is any indication – he certainly displays a Stern-like knack for brewing trouble. I’d enrolled the mutt this morning, at a doggie boot-camp run by a woman out of her home. By the time we arrived, several other “students” and their owners had already gathered at a staging area. In the twenty or so...
  5. #5- Guns, Wills and Life Insurance, Oh My!

    Last week, I found my wife watching a forensics show – her favorite nighttime pursuit – with an episode featuring a deadly woman, who claimed to have “accidentally” shot her husband between the eyes. I thought Sophia seemed a tad too interested in the subject, but I didn’t feel overly concerned, then. However, when we awoke the following morning, Sophia suddenly announced her desire to buy a gun, “for protection.” My slight paranoia, at the suspicious timing of this announcement,...
