Something new and something old
Mother and The Old Man had a pretty cool idea for Black Friday 2012. They had earned enough “comp points” at Motor City Casino to get dinner for 4 on-the-house. So Phred and I accompanied them to the casino this afternoon. In addition, we were looking forward to going today as…

a war of attrition
I haven’t put up an entry in 10 days. The impending holiday and no classes has left me with a lot of down-time (but I got an entry or two that i’m working on). Anyway, the down-time has allowed me some time to go through a “purging phase” and a…

youth gone wild
I got a call from my son at about 2:40 today. He told me that he got into a fight at school, threw a pencil at another kid. to make matters worse, the school called the STBX so she would pick him up from school. As I talked to The…

flashpoint
As I was doing some editing on this blog earlier today, it occurred to me that I’ve never written about the impetus of this blog. Obviously, telling the story of my impending divorce is the purpose of this blog. There was, however, one moment that completely set me off. One…
