Washing Machine, 3 Week Update
Remember how I was getting a new washing machine and was worried about (a) not having a center agitator, (b) having too many computerized features, and (c) getting a large capacity washer that would waste too much water? Remember? I’m here to tell you…
Am I Breaking Up with Adidas?

Is There a Proper Way to Launder Your Clothes?
This week, when my 13-year-old daughter asked, “Dad? Will you do a load of laundry for me?” I said to her, “do you want me to show you how to do laundry?” She said, “sure,” and so I showed her. My method is handed…
Neoprene Sleeve
My iPhone doesn’t have a case. Never has. Never will. I like to keep it in my front pocket or back pocket (or any pocket). The problem with that is, something will scratch it. Maybe the keys. Maybe the denim on my jeans. Maybe…

So much goin’ on, I don’t know where to begin. So let’s just cover two things. First, I might’ve made a poor decision when I recently bought a pair of jeans. They’re Levi’s. Good. They’re a 30-inch waist. That’s freegin’ awesome. Yes. I’m bragging…
Lung Update, or I Might Be a Hypochondriac
It’s been four years since I saw my Pulmonologist and I’ve had some ups and downs with my lungs and my coughing. I remember his words four years ago when he said, “you’ll always have this and it could get worse, but it probably…
A Man of Principle (I am Not)
Remember how I was all like, “I want black running shoes,” and made a big deal about it? Let’s just say one man’s black shoe is another man’s grey-black-and-neon and blue-orange. Both pairs were on clearance at DSW and the New Balance 850s will…
Bedphones
Remember when I wrote that “I Won Christmas?” I made such a bodacious claim because I asked for a buncha utility items for Christmas and it wasn’t really a vanity play. What are “utility items?” Because I’m an old man, it means I’ve started…
