Yesterday I started reading Tim O’Brien’s Going After Cacciato (spoiler alert) and also watched Julia and Julie. Let me just say I’ve been humbled. You may be surprised that I haven’t yet read Cacciato, because it really should be required reading for anyone of my generation, at least anyone who professes affinity to Literature with Continue reading Humble Pie I haven’t posted for awhile, and I won’t bullshit you by saying I’ve been too busy. Oh, I’ve been busy, but that’s no excuse. I’ve heard that some of my former coworkers have been following the blog to keep track of my post Dex adventures, so I’m going to use today’s post to update the Continue reading Catch Up Ball I haven’t been behind a retail counter for 31 years.

So it’s an extra day to spend with her and a extra chance to sleep in. The morning got off to a very Bob like start Continue reading Monday Monday After an incredible run of spectacular late summer and fall weather, my first day of retirement is remarkably dreary. It’s 5 pm and it looks like 10. I hope this isn’t an omen. So how’s retirement so far? Well it’s wet. It’s been raining almost all day. I did demonstrate to Becky that there Continue reading Change in the weather |
