With a few blog-worthy exceptions. Like what happened tonight. The evening began innocently enough. The imp and I spent some quality time at the pool. She splashed; I supervised. All in all, it was a swimming success. Afterwards, we sought the soothing warmth of the locker room showers to de-chlorinate ourselves.
As it happens, there is [...]

Is it false advertising to wear a shirt representing a sport you don’t play, spectate, or even recognize? A recent purchase of mine definitively answered this question.

Random weekend observations:

2. My imp used my binoculars all weekend. She has been looking for school buses [...]

I don’t ask for much in life—don’t steal my chocolate and don’t hog the stepmill. When I arrived at the gym this morning, I found one stepmill out of order and the remaining stepmill occupied by Old Spice man (so named because of his daily dousing of cologne and not a disparaging remark about age.)

Each weekday morning, I have a chance to be Jane Goodall in my own familiar habitat…the gym. Every morning I observe two women with perpetually perky D-cups planted upon their otherwise tiny frames arrive at the gym together to exercise. At the same time they arrive, I witness scores of awestruck men turn their heads [...]
