“Can I get a large coffee?” the older fellow behind me asked. “And make sure it’s got a lot of milk!” “How much milk?” the woman behind the counter asked. “Lots and lots of milk!” the fellow gushed, as if he’d just discovered milk and never wanted the thrill of the moment to end. “No […]

As I recently mentioned, I’ve once again signed up with the AIDS Walk for Life. I’ve got a little over a couple of months in which to raise my five hundred dollar goal, and according to my fundraising page, I’m officially 14% of the way there. Not bad for the first week out, but there’s […]

Hey, remember when I said I was planning to register for the AIDS Walk for Life again this year? Well, I filled out the paperwork last night, and I’m now in search of sponsors. Many of you were extremely generous last year, and I hope we can all benefit from that generosity again this year. […]

“So, would you wait for two thousand years for me to come back to life after you’d shot me because you were really a plastic alien?” “Of course,” I said. “Are you just saying that because you know it’s never going to happen and you won’t have to follow through on it?” “Pretty much,” I […]
