Sub in The Cambler

So back in Kentucky for the holidays, the wife and I hit up a gym down the road. The Paducah Athletic Center has good stuff: full gym, tons of TVs, a pool, a basketball court, some raquetball courts, batting cages, sauna and all that crap. Plus, it has my favorite...

Holiday Road: Singalong

Now that we have made it to the farm for the first half of our holiday journey, now comes the fun parts. That is, me taking part in the family traditions of my goddess' clan that I was able to avoid during the opening 10 years of courtship. I got...

Holiday Road: A Moment of Pause

We had to make a stop in Lexington for a night while on our way back to my wife's farm for the holiday. You see, her great uncle Ben died last week, and we absolutely had to pay our respects. Uncle Ben was a famous doctor here in Kentucky, and...

Holiday Road

Yes, it's holiday season, which means it's time for a road trip. The wife and I decided this year to drive back to Kentucky, that way we could deliver presents instead of mailing them, and also because flights were about $9 bagillion dollars just to fly from DC to Louisville...

My Paper Challenge: My Fault

So I had a massively busy final day at work and did not get a chance to do my final weigh-in and examination of all the paper and such that I have been saving up as part of my one-month challenge. I had hoped to dissect the whole experience over...

A New Party-Hole

My guy friends like to bash me for liking Broadway. Now, on some levels I can't blame them. Because I do like the theater. Problem is, they think I only dig massive, overblown musicals by Andrew Lloyd Webber or something. I actually like regular dramatic theater also, and I will...

What I’ve Watched: Tropic Thunder

When I hosted my Sunday supper club last night, my goddess divine and I were caught quoting Anchorman and some other comedies throughout the night that my three guests were stumped by. It was one of those moments when I realized that some people absorb movie quotes into their life...

Take Your Stripes and Shove It

As you all know, I review video games. Which means I also play a lot of video games. Most of the time I can only spend about 10 on any given game because my column comes out weekly, so delving into any one game just takes away time from another....

Karma is a Bitch

I love Karma. I'm a big believer in it. No, I'm not Hindu or Buddhist (though the ultra-cool Leonard Cohen makes me think I could pull it off). In fact, I pretty much could do without organized religion altogether. But for some reason, all the reading I have done in...

I Think I Missed Out

The deleted scenes from The Office are sometimes the best work, and I still feel no one gets to see it. And let me tell you, if I had known about Schrute Farms as a wedding locale, I would have bailed on getting married at my wife's farm in a...

Courtside Ramblings

So my boy Dan got us some swank seats to the Wizards/Blazers game Wednesday. These were $239 face value seats that Dan got for $75 each, saving us around $300 bucks easy, so already we were going into the night champs. And things only got better, since we showed up...

My Paper Challenge: Video Games

So I'm about two weeks away from the end of my paper challenge. If you missed the original post, here it is. Anyway, as part of the project, I said I would give updates on how things were going.One of the biggest paper contributors in this challenge thus far has...
