You mean you forgot cranberries too?

Once again, I made too much food. Once again, I forgot to put out the cranberry sauce. I guess that’s my new Thanksgiving tradition. Two years in a row now I’ve done that.
This was our third hosted Thanksgiving dinner and I am not lying when I say I kicked serious ass this year. It was [...]

Requiscat in Pace

Irvine died last night. He was diagnosed with terminal cancer and given three to six months at the most. Irvine was a stubborn man, however, and defied his diagnosis, living to tend to his beloved roses and fish in the sound for another three years. The last few months have been rough, extremely so.

Monday Monday, So Good to Me

It’s Monday morning and I’m sitting on my couch, still dressed in what I slept in, and not sitting at my desk (reason below). This, I have determined, is the best way to spend Monday mornings. And hell, it might be how I’m going to spend the next few Mondays.
Work. Well, that one’s a doozy. [...]
