This is that time of year when we collectively as beach-town dwellers go through a myriad of conflicting emotions. It’s almost as if our entire existence goes bi-polar for a little while until our bodies and minds have made the … Continue reading →

A few weeks ago I started writing the first part of this piece. This one is essentially telling you about the snail-like pace of my emotional maturation, and my less than conventional parenting techniques. This could potentially be an ongoing … Continue reading →

I can comfortably say that I got through St. Pat’s weekend with no casualties and with as little hatred as possible. Don’t get me wrong, there were multiple idiots that I genuinely wanted to choke out, but by the standards … Continue reading →

When we finished last week, I had worked an uneventful Friday evening, took a spill on the ice walking to my car, and was about to go to bed in a lot of pain. I’ll now pick up the story … Continue reading →
