A cousin of mine was in town recently while her husband was on furlough and I took her out to dinner. Her husband was not with us, since he was with his family at the time. Unrelated: For some reason she wasn’t allowed to stay with her husband overnight while they were in town even [...]

Drinking with family members always brings out the best in them, doesn’t it? Nothing quite fills you full of hope for the human race quite like letting someone tell you exactly what they’ve always thought was wrong with you. Nothing quite fills you full of hope like finding out your uncle lost his virginity at [...]

Last week I stopped to visit an older relative of mine, and soon found myself making small talk in his living room. him: I had to ask my daughter to leave. She wasn’t helping around the house, I couldn’t afford to keep paying her insurance, and she’s had two years to find a job. me: [...]

I get a lot of email. Most of it is bullshit from Republican relatives and associates that either want to tweak me or think they can change my way of thinking. The strange thing though is that over the last year the emails have all started to have something in common, no matter who they [...]

My grandfather turned 73 today, so I stopped by his house to visit him and drop off some RAM he needed to finish repairing one of his computers. Some of the family was there as well, also wishing him a happy birthday. Of course, since a group of my aunts was present they began to [...]

In honor of the holidays I’m recycling a post from 2005… Some of my extended family has a problem with lifestyle choices I’ve made in the past. Most notably, they have a problem with the fact that I haven’t knocked some girl up yet. They dont seem to have any problem with the fact that [...]

The internet tubes are all wet

About two months ago I had central air installed in the house, and it was good. Temperatures soared outside into the high nineties I was inside at a stable 72 degrees, and it was good. Then this morning, as the grilf was in the basement feeding the cats, she reported that the floor was wet. [...]

Heart stopping thrills and shocking discoveries.

It was a nice summer evening sometime in the early 1990′s when my father and a couple of uncles decided to teach me a valuable lesson. I was out watching them play with engines, just like I had a dozen times before. Unfortunately I cant even remember what type of car was there, or who [...]
