Way back in the day the 9-530 crew at work was awesome. It consisted of me, Kaleb, Jimmy, and Timmy. One night close to Christmas we clocked out together and headed to the shuttle. On the way we passed a certain department. The custodians had left a dumpster outside the department, and they had discarded […]

I have long despised bananas. Maybe ‘despised’ is too harsh, but I certainly was not fond them. Before July I only ate maybe four bananas a year, just whenever I got a potassium-deficiency-induced craving. Since being diagnosed with diverticulitis, I have changed my diet significantly for the better, and eat 1-2 bananas a day. But […]
I guess a lot of statements make a lot more sense when heard in context. Our cat, Puck, came to live with us in November of 2009. Heather had fallen in love with him when she took her ugly dog to the vet (the same vet who told Heather her dog was ugly). Puck was entirely […]
My wife coined this phrase. I think it’s pretty self-explanatory.
I made my first plushie last week, Nightcrawler from the X-Men. I say ‘first,’ because I plan to make some more. It was quite a challenge, as I didn’t know how to sew (except for leather or book pages) or how to use a sewing machine, so I had to get quite a bit of help […]
Besides being uncomfortable to type, Big D’z Dawgz is a food vendor that can be found during the week on Holmes street between Children’s Mercy Hospital and UMKC Med School in Kansas City, Missouri. Due to an imposed hot dog and french fry diet earlier in my life, I didn’t eat hot dogs with any regularity […]
My wife had wanted a Jeep ever since she was a kid (probably from watching too much Dukes of Hazzard and MacGyver). Anyway, the 20-year wait was recently over and we picked her up a 1988 Wrangler after my awesome Mazda finally bit the dust just shy of 350,000 miles. First, a Jeep Wrangler is […]
Before my wife met me she had gone on a date with some dude, no doubt neither as smart or handsome as me, and they went to see Mike Myers’s So I Married an Axe Murderer. She said it was so boring that she fell asleep. Years later when I started my current job, Jimmy […]
Recently Heather and I took a short weekend off together to celebrate our 15th wedding anniversary. As most of you know, I love Irish Stew. Unfortunately, it’s hard to find a place that serves it that isn’t called ‘Dan’s House.’ For those of you who don’t know, Irish Stew is lamb, potatoes, carrots, and leeks. […]
Today Heather and I celebrate our 15th wedding anniversary. I knew I wanted to marry Heather a week after our first date. It’s been a long, bumpy ride, but I wouldn’t have missed it. We certainly rushed in (we dated three weeks before we got engaged, then got married 10 months later). We did some […]
