About Me

Springfield, Missouri, United States
I’m in my mid-30s and still trying to figure out what I want to do with my life. Most of my interests do not exactly come with a reasonable expectation of financial success, things such as artwork and fiction writing. I’ve been married to a delightful, attractive woman for five years, and, thankfully, neither of us wants to have children, so we can look forward to adult vacations, sleeping late, and disposable income. We do have two dogs, two chinchillas, a gerbil, and three chickens. Only the chickens seem to be pulling their weight vis-à-vis contributions to the household other than excrement.

Ice-Scrapers and Martinis





10/22/06


There are few things more frustrating than (1) waking up late so you have to rush to get ready for work, and (2) going out into the parking lot in 32° weather only to realize that, inexplicably, your ice-scraper has vanished from inside your vehicle and now you have to look like someone who moves his lips when he reads in front of your neighbors because you're scraping your windshield with a spatula while cursing in vaguely incoherent language.

Dude…what kind of sick mind would hijack an ice-scraper? They're like 69¢. Oh, in case you were wondering, no; a spatula does not work well to remove frost. Try peeing on the glass instead. I'm getting a martini.
