    reflecting on a week in the Grand Strand.

    As I type this, I am sitting at the gate waiting for my flight to Detroit to pull in. I’ve spent the last 6 days in Myrtle Beach, four of which I spend with My Son. As usual, he was giddy to see me; so excited he was running a-mile-a-minute.…

    preemptive strike

    Wednesday, the Auteur and I were speaking (as we had been every night this week) and we were half jokingly / half seriously talking about getting together on Thursday or Friday (before our planned Saturday date) – kind of a preemptive strike if you will. Thursday she suggests we meet…

    The Kid Goes Digital

    Yesterday, I stepped into the digital dating domain and bought a 3 month membership on match.com. I set up an account earlier this week, but a user can’t do much beyond window shopping without buying some kind of membership. Aye, there’s the rub. Of course, the fact that a few…

    The Ivy Incertitude

    I’ve made passing references to Ivy in previous entries but I haven’t gone into much detail, so here goes: I met Ivy last summer at the Kenny Chesney concert. If memory serves me correctly, she may have been the first person sis introduced me to when we started tailgating that…

  • just sit right back and you’ll hear a tale…

    I had a still-married dream last night. The STBX and i were married and putting together a garage sale. It was a fund-raiser for radioactive children – or some stupid shit like that. Anyway, things were going well but just like the 17th minute of any episode of Gilligan’s Island,…

    denouement

    I’ve been a way from the blogosphere a little too long. Let’s see what I can do to right that. Friday night was another one of the local social club‘s monthly happy hour events. Even though these things only last three hours, the group of people that sis and I…

  • Counterstrike

    With the Boy’s Easter break  about 6 weeks away, I called the STBX last night to discuss visitation.  Here’s a paraphrasing of said conversation – to the best of my memory: Me:  So the Boy’s Easter break is coming up.  Under the separation agreement that you had written up, I…

    I know it’s a little late for Valentine’s Day but here is some eye candy. I could probably come up with a dozen witty one-liners for this, but I’ll let it speak for itself.

  • Solving the Scourge of the Short-haired Girl: A Modern Icarus? idolatry? or sabotage?

    I’ts been a little more than 24 hours and I haven’t heard from SHG. It ain’t gonna happen. I really didn’t know how this was gonna go either way. I could foresee her both calling me back and not calling me back. So I really didn’t know what to expect.…
