That's not very ladylike.

Cynic.
One-womanizer.

escape from the Midwest.



*my wife and I live in a floating house, so there are a lot of beers on the dock and such (and NO, wife is not just a term of endearment).

    When you are all out and about enjoyng your 4 day weekend of bliss

    don’t forget to look around at all of the people working their holiday asses off. At the grocery store, at the coffee shops you lounge in, at the restaurants you dine in, at the stores you shop in. LOOK AT US. We are tired ALREADY and it’s not even December yet. Smile at us. Treat us like human beings. Remember that the holiday season is SO NOT the same for us as it is for all of you. We don’t get to go home and visit family.  We don’t get endless naps and hours of watching our favorite Christmas movies…WE JUST WORK.

    So, when you’re in our respective businesses look us in the eye, put down your damn cell phone, and tell us Merry Christmas like you mean it.

    holiday hell soap box

    see you next year
