I Am Lucky

Last night was Redhead Night at the basketball game. Cindy,my fellow ginger and I both Uber’d separately to our meeting spot: the lobby bar at the W Hotel where we would meet and then go to wil...


Work: Well, if the writing wasn’t already on the wall, it sure is now. I’m sitting through budget meetings with the sales team this week, and it appears there’s gonna be a struggle to sell my ...

Dickin' Around

Here I sit in my bed, probably going to call it a night pretty soon. It’s not even 7PM yet, but I’m sleepy. I need to take the dog out for one more quickie walk and then I think I’m calling it ...

It's About Time

Last night’s event with Clint (Sad, Recently Divorced Guy with 5 Kids) was nice, but I really wasn’t. I should have known better that I couldn’t just show up at the event and mingle like a sing...

On Getting Out

I think I’m ready to get out there and start creating some things worth writing about again! I have started to get a little hermit-y lately. It’s been okay – fine, really, because I’ve needed s...

Leap Day

Kind of a downer of a weekend. The weather was great, and I did get outside a bit, but I wanted to continue the work on my clutter situation, and I barely made a dent. I really blew it on Friday...

Social Media and Secrets

I have lots to do, but I can’t seem to get this day started. It’s Friday and my boss is out on an all-day planning session (golf? drinking? whatever), so I think I’ll write an entry and then ...


Rather, I should say the end of my non-relationship relationship. What do you do with a person with whom you have so much fun and who brings you joy and happiness with heaping sides of insight, i...

Day 3...

…of hating everybody. What’s wrong with me? Work has really brought me down this week. Everybody is in a scramble because of what the head of sales has decided he wants to do for a big trade sh...

The Day After

Today is a gorgeous day, and I wish I had the day off for the holiday like a lot of people do. Do you ever wonder why there are certain national holidays that only some people get to take off? ...

Thursdelicious

My energy has started coming back. Worked out two mornings in a row before coming into the office. Now if I could just get through this pesky thing called “work”. As last week was the week of s...


Health: Man, I was weary and sickly all weekend. And when I was up and about, I comfort-ate for various reasons. First and foremost could be that last week was a week of drunken nights and stu...

Old Drinking Bud

Night before last I met up with an old, old friend and former drinking buddy. He was part of the crew of guys I used to hang out with back in the 90s and very early 00s. For the most part, I wa...

Sparking Joy

Well, I did it. I organized my clothes over the weekend – clothing being step one in the KonMari method of organizing and decluttering that I’m working on mastering (see previous entry for a lin...

Sex and Purge

It’s almost the weekend. I’ve had all of my meetings today and I’m ready to get the eff out of here so I can start my Friday night. It’s gonna be a cold one but at least it’s the weekend, right...

I Care, I Swear!

Seriously, I didn’t mean to come across as a cavalier asshole in my last entry. I care a lot about what you guys think for various reasons: (1) I know a lot of you in real life now; (2) I like ...

Weekend Recap

I am so sad that the end of the weekend is here. So very sad. Friday night with the married pilot went of without a hitch. He was a complete and utter gentleman. He picked me up at my place ...

Second-Guessing

Yeah, see. There are days when I come to work and everything works smoothly and things go right and everyone likes everyone else and I feel really dumb for wanting to leave this place to go do s...

Checking In!

Nearly 10 days into the year, so I thought I’d check in to let you know how my plans are going and maybe to get myself even more motivated. I have to be honest and say that the dumb smoke detect...


Dudes, seriously? It all started pretty quietly Sunday night. Was having a relaxing evening, winding down the holidays and getting ready for the work week - first day back in the office after go...

Dancing Fools

I don’t know, man. Dancing is fun, but dance clubs are weird if you’re 48 years old. Still, Em had to dance, so dance we did. I ended up with 21,000 steps on my Fitbit on Friday, and 10,000+ mo...

Naughty New Year

I was kind of naughty last night. I ended up going to meet my neighbors at this local downtown bar, but as soon as I got there, they asked if I’d check out another place “next door”. Sure, fine...

Goodbye, 2015

Wow. Where the fuck did that year go? What did I accomplish in 2015? Hm. A whole lotta nothing. I’m pretty sure it’s because I didn’t make any plans. Making resolutions, or at least some ki...

Lunching with Boys

Had my meet and greet lunch with Small Town Church Guy yesterday. He’s the guy who saw me at Christmas Eve service at my parents’ tiny church. We met at a Lebanese place (one of the choices I’d...

Back in the Office

…and of course, all hell is breaking loose. I made it a point not to look at my emails while I was on vacation. I don’t know if it was a good thing or not, but of course, there’s tons to be do...
