“The Ex” and “Ocean’s Thirteen”
For the first time in forever, we rented a few movies. We had some time over the holidays, so I used a gift card I got for my birthday and…
Gingercrack Season Has Arrived
I actually went out shopping on Black Friday (I did come away with a pair of $20 sport coats from Wal-Mart so I have that going for me). I was…
Worth a Shot
I like to try and support local food places. When Maria was working on Saturday, I figured I'd hit a place I had never tried before. I was hankering for…
Happy Overeating, Watching Football and Napping Day!
I love this day. I get to stuff my face, nap, and watch football without anyone blinking an eye. You can read more about why I love Thanksgiving so much…
Writer’s Strike
The writer's strike in Hollywood has gone on for about two weeks now. Unless you have tried to follow the thing closely or watch a lot of talk shows, it…
Shea for President
A little more than three years ago, I laid out a bold plan for a Shea presidency. I had just turned 35, and the election was just about a month away when I threw my hat in the ring.
As you can tell, the people ignored my progressive agenda. They didn’t care about free ice cream cones for children, the elimination of all televisions under 30 inches, and a national edict for pizza at dinner every Friday.
That has not fazed me. This time, I will have just under a year to spread the word about why I should be the next resident of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
ITEOTWAWKI: I Can Do It Too
A while back, I wrote a column about wanting a guitar. I bit the bullet and bought one over the summer. A few times a week, I go down to…
I Feel Used
I finished a book the other day, "The Ethical Assassin" by David Liss. I picked it up a few months ago at a local bookstore for the same reason I…
Bee Surprised
Like all good Americans, I have harbored homicidal thoughts about Jerry Seinfeld over the past few weeks as he constantly reminded us that his film "Bee Movie" was coming to…
Manly Regular Guy
I generally don’t get to show off my manliness. Last week, I made up for lost time.
I like to live the easy life as much as I can. I always say that my greatest home improvement skill is writing a check. The only kind of yard work I even remotely enjoy is vacuuming leaves because I get to carry around a big machine.
And don’t even get me started on car repairs. Thank God auto manufacturers have started to make things under the hood easier to figure out or I would eventually put oil in the windshield wiper fluid container.
So imagine my surprise when I walked out to my car last Monday afternoon and saw my right rear tire almost totally flat.
