Not too long ago I asked the girls at Iowa Chicks Knitting if I could buy a set of stitch markers. They, being superior, just sent me some for no reason. I mean, it really makes your week to find a present in your mailbox and it’s not even a holiday.

Dear Internetizens, Stop the madness! And STOP USING MSN TO SURF FOR PORN! MSN BRINGS YOU HERE UNDER FALSE PRETENSES. Note that in the past day, in every instance in which MSN brought you here, YOU DID NOT FIND what you were looking for because MSN Search sucks. So. Very. Hard. Please learn to surf […]

I live two and a half miles south of Hwy 34, between Fairfield and Batavia. There’s a big project to upgrade all of 34 from a two-lane highway to a four-lane Interstate all the way across Iowa. For the past year or so, we’ve been watching the new highway take shape. First many houses along […]

Now you’re sorry you didn’t rent my dad! Last night Brett wasn’t around when I got home, and my pop wanted to “go do something” since it was his last night here. He and I stopped at the Dew Drop for a couple of cocktails, then he took me out for Indian food. (Although, lemmie […]

Great news… not. They’re from my dad. The panic attacks! HE’S HAD THEM SINCE HE WAS A TEENAGER. (I had had no idea.) Dad thinks it’s some kind of congenital brain malfunction that sends out bad signals to the old adrenals. (He doesn’t call them “panic attacks,” of course. He has the same strange judgement […]
