Since a lot of you have been wondering (okay, maybe only three people asked), the lady-who-might-be-a-hoarder's check cleared the next morning. Whew! Not that getting stiffed out of $30 would have sent me to the poorhouse, but it was the principle of the matter. I half expected her to email me back saying the TV … Continue reading Sugar Cookies or Powdered Doughnuts

No Joe
Yesterday, I thought I'd make a pot of coffee for the office. What I ended up making was a pot of hot water. CenturyCo has one of those big industrial coffee pots. It looks a lot like this one. In fact, I think it is this one: We also have really good coffee. No Folger's … Continue reading No Joe
You’ve Been Johnnyburgered
Many years ago, my dad’s cousin Johnny came out for a visit when we lived in South Dakota.

As much as I enjoy their company, I don't necessarily want them to follow me home and crawl into bed with me. Err...so to … Continue reading I’m Just Here for the Coffee
Hot Cold Brew is Like Jumbo Shrimp
Earlier this week, I stopped by the coffee shop that is 88 steps from the office (thanks, Fitbit!) and ordered "my usual." My coffee guy immediately began preparing a cold brew coffee with a splash of unsweetened almond milk and a packet of Stevia. I love that I have a coffee guy and a "usual" order. … Continue reading Hot Cold Brew is Like Jumbo Shrimp
Not The Regular Grind
I learned a few lessons after last week's post on gun control. Namely, hot-button issues garner a lot of attention, regardless of your stance. And the more passionate people are about a topic, the more discourse you're going to receive. I rarely stray from the humorous slice-of-daily-life stuff, but maybe I should do so more … Continue reading Not The Regular Grind
