Bennett, bikini babes, and the bourgeois brain
I could care less what Mike Bennett, the man, views or watches — whether it’s actual or perceived porn or not — (care to say which of these is pornographic: PETA’s attention-grabbing hijinks on a West Palm Beach city street; Desperate Housewives; Siesta Beach during Spring Break; or The L Word.) Hey, whatever floats the […]
A Boomer-licious birthday
If walks were presents, then Boomerang must have a birthday everyday — because he always gets at least one walk a day, and today — on his real birthday, he’s already had two walks and it’s only a bit past noon.
Smooth moves at the Sarasota County Fair
Hey, has anyone seen the Bird/Magic documentary on HBO? It’s so interesting. I’m only thinking about that because I’m thinking about dunking … and I thought, up until last Friday, that dunking only occurred in basketball. Little did I know there’s dunking in baseball too. But I digress a bit. Here’s the story …
Trust everyone … but cut the cards yourself
Finley Peter Dunne is the one who gets the attribution for the phrase “Trust everyone, but cut the cards.” But it’s an axiom I’ve adopted for myself for a long time now. I’ve just always added the “yourself” part to further clarify that the only trust that matters is the trust you have in yourself. […]
Stop! Oh, yes, wait a minute, Mister Postman!
Now, I hear the USPS might shut down Saturday service … I’m okay with that — as long as they continue five days a week. But what I lament is the idea that people just don’t write old-fashioned letters anymore. We’re losing something — an archive of loves, loves lost, travels, penmanship, the ability to […]
Quit ya whinin’!
Sheesh. Last night after I posted my “woe is me, I don’t got no fun” blog, I realized what a whiner I’ve turned into about this whole “365 days of fun” thing I got myself into for my New Year’s Resolution. So, I’m going to quit whining about how I’ve frickin’ lost my mojo, or […]
Letter-writing makes for good, old-fashioned fun
I’m a sucker for the handwritten letter. For me, there’s nearly nothing better than walking to the mailbox in front of my house, pulling open the little metal door, and finding an envelope with my name scrawled across it.
Footsie fun
Remember awhile back I mentioned that I’d been given a gift certificate to a local spa for Christmas? Well, I used part of it to have a foot massage, but then recently went back to use the rest of the certificate and have a reflexology treatment. This experience took fun to a whole new — […]
My best friend’s wedding
Two weeks ago, my best friend married his best girl. Married in Boston, but they came down to Florida for a post-wedding reception dinner. That was last weekend. I went up to Tampa. And … contrary to everything I’ve ever known or thought I knew about myself … I cried like a frickin’ baby when […]
