Trying to make my pets happy

My pets are aging. It is hard to watch. They slowly start to fail. But I’m trying my best to make them live better lives. The cats have been with me for fifteen years, the dog for eleven. Mitsy recently received a new bed. She loves it. She sleeps in it all the time. She [...]

Slow day

This morning started with a Ron Paul supporter giving me his spiel at breakfast. I didn’t know him. I was just making waffles in the lobby of the hotel. I did not give him my opinion of Ron Paul’s narrow view of foreign policy. Fuckin’ Hipster and I drove back into the city. We split [...]

Sunset

I just watched an amazing sunset. Mai Tai in hand. Jack Johnson playing on the stereo. Laying in a cabana on the deck of the penthouse suite. The sunset was absolutely stunning. I put my phone away to watch it. The sun moved too fast. I wanted it to linger there forever. At one point [...]

Cowards

This is the note that I found on my car today. A little bit of context is required here. For the last few weeks, I’ve been driving Miss Moneypenny thanks to The Cravat loaning her to me while I had Das Boot on my foot. Myrtle sat idle in my carport and I asked The [...]
