I hate the term “For the children”. No wait. That’s not exactly right. I hate the things that done in the name of those words. I know, I know… it’s complicated. I’m asking parents to you know… be responsible for their children and all. You look at th… more »

I read an article hypothesizing on the nature of female orgasms. Fascinating that you can be paid to research a topic, even a decidedly FUN one (yeah I didn't say 'stimulating' now did I?) and officially draw a conclusion that there IS no conclusion. D… more »

I stopped at the grocery store today. Always an AARP convention in the middle of the day. When I was leaving I was walking behind a rather spry senior citizen into the parking lot. She had a better gait than many people my age. Where does she head?… more »

“I’m the proud parent of a WHO GIVES A FLYING FUCK!” Today’s rant is another pet peeve of mine. No, it’s not the bumper sticker. Ok, kinda. It’s the shit head parent who thinks I give a fuck about some 8 year old brainiac. Or who feels the need to tel… more »

As my birthday approaches, like many people, I reflect on age. But not so much in a "I can't believe how old I am. I've wasted my life. Dear gob, take me now" sort of way. More like in a "I'm glad I'm not like most people my age and long into the rut of… more »
