Odd snacks
Sometimes, when I want a snack but I don’t want a ton of calories that I’ll regret later, I just have a small taste of something with a strong flavor.
For example, a small piece of blue cheese or a Kalamata olive. Maybe a few spoons of salsa or hot sauce.
My latest “snack” is very strange, even to me. I squirt some Sriracha sauce into my mouth (right out of the bottle)...
Fried Chicken
This one time in college, I was eating fried chicken in the cafeteria when something poked my nose.
It was a chicken feather! There were a half-dozen feathers still on the chicken, which had been battered, fried, frozen, reheated…who knows? It disturbed me. It showed a terrible lack of quality control.

They had to evacuate and seal off the ladies room before 5pm. She noticed a crew steam-cleaning the carpet nearby. She thought that was weird because that stuff usually happens after hours. So it was strange, but not as strange as the reason why.

When I was little, I told...

Thank you for your kind words and thoughts.
The kids handled it pretty well, but also acted out a bit. I picked up them up from school and took them to the Chick-Fil-A near the hospital ...
Hey Guys!
Sorry I’ve been away for awhile. I spent a lot of time with my mom while she visited me. Now that she’s flown back to Australia, I should be on Tumblr more.
Except for this breaking news…
I am currently in the ER waiting room, where my wife had been admitted for chest pains. We think she may be having a stroke? I don’t know. It doesn’t make sense. She’s...
