Before I begin, I have two random comments: I would much prefer to be in the UK instead of the US at any given point in time, but there is one thing that the UK doesn’t have that makes me very, very glad to be back. Water pressure when taking a shower. The UK has […]
Just a quick post as I kill some time. The Christmas Party at work was a success. We had it catered by Boston Market instead of Stephen’s Deli for the first time in decades after two disappointing performances in a row. It was more money but very well received. Turkey, brisket, ham, corn, mashed potatoes, […]
This is another post in my series of titles that has little or nothing to do with the content. While it’s bad for traffic, it greatly amuses me. Or maybe it’s a gentle poke at Grant. You decide for yourself. I just finished dinner. I made almost a pound of burger meat (extra lean) and […]
First, a special ‘hello’ to Nucor Steel’s corporate office in Charlotte who’ve made several visits to my blog in the past few days. Guys, you know I actually check my logs, right?

They had artificial Christmas trees, wrapping, decorations, and were playing Christmas music. It’s 93 days away. Save us all from holiday creep. How […]
Here’s an e-mail I sent today, with the name removed to protect the innocent. Hey 🙂 So I got your holiday card today. And it’s really funny on two levels. First, it’s the type of lowbrow humour I enjoy. You know I like to make fun of the Hellidays, and this year was no exception. […]
