Espresso Yourself
By the time my wife and I arrived at Cracker Barrel, I was so ready for coffee that I took pictures of items that mentioned my morning drug. The sayings on the bookcase sign and coffee mug in the store … Continue reading
Booyah or Nah?
Because of everything else that happened in December, I almost forgot that my car window came off its track on Christmas Day while I was in the DC area. The same thing had happened to the driver’s side window last … Continue reading
Glove and Special Sauce
During winter months, smartphone users can wear special gloves that work with their touchscreens. My wife and I saw a catalog ad for a product that turns any gloves into smartphone gloves. I joked that I should try putting Nanotips on … Continue reading
Glimmer Swimmer
A Walmart store in Bristol, Virginia, has something I haven’t seen in years. They have live tropical fish in tanks that were similar to the displays at the variety stores I remember from childhood. My parents would shop at stores like Woolworth, Kresge, … Continue reading
Sleeps with the Anchovies
A local funeral home mailed a postcard to my house. They’re having a pizza party to attract potential customers. The postcard got my attention but it also made me laugh when I started thinking about what pizzas and mortuaries have … Continue reading

Ask Any Mermaid
On Fridays during Lent, Catholics become pesco-lacto-ovo-vegetarians. We can eat fish, cheese or eggs but not poultry, beef, pork, lamb or several other meats. I will often have a can of tuna and salad greens for lunch. My wife prefers … Continue reading
The Case of the Busted Banana
This could be how Norman Bates feels in the morning, I thought to myself when I looked at the kitchen counter. The circumstantial evidence made me think I had attacked a banana in my sleep. During the night, I awoke … Continue reading
Breadboard
The next Dinner with the Bone Doctor takes place one week from tonight at Echo Bistro & Wine Bar. I’ve had the pleasure of being the emcee for almost all the previous dinners and I will do so again next … Continue reading
To Find New Worlds and New Civilizations
Halloween made me think of my childhood friend Brian Kirk. Last week, I wrote a blog post about going to church on All Saints Day. In it, I mentioned a house that had an elaborate set-up with talking jack-o-lanterns that … Continue reading
Butcher Block
The opening of Face the Nation caught my attention as I was channel flipping on Sunday morning. I don’t usually watch the show but they teased an upcoming segment about the 50th anniversary of the assassination of John F. Kennedy that … Continue reading
