Insane in the midbrain
The one and only roommate I had in college – and in my life, other than Kyle – was a pre-med student who shared my taste in music.
One day we were listening to Cypress Hill, and I sang along, “…insane in the membrane, insane in the brain…”
She cocked her head and narrowed her eyes. [...]

You never know when an old friend will reappear
On YouTube, no less. As the dad in the video, just to be perfectly clear.

Lather, rinse, repeat
Definitely concerned about the aspen trees, which haven’t lost their leaves yet.
But last year’s casualty is hanging tough.
I say we all play hooky today!

Give and let give
One of my favorite episodes of “Friends” – one that actually had a worthwhile moral message – is “The One Where Phoebe Hates PBS“. Phoebe and Joey argue over whether a selfless good deed exists. With rare intellectual insight, Joey posits that all good deeds are selfish by definition, because doing a good [...]

Many exits
In college, I spent my summers working for a local independent bookstore.
Surrounded by books, I read even more voraciously than I had as a child, and I read a much wider variety of authors, writing on a much wider variety of topics. In some cases, I would read everything that the author had ever [...]

It’s a sin
It’s all my fault, really.
I made a silly comment to Tacy over a week ago in the parking lot at Target. I don’t even know what I was referring to, but I said, “It’s a sin.” Which sparked a conversation for which I wasn’t prepared.
For the rest of the drive to her friend’s [...]

Interview with the Vampira
The following is a transcript of the Mother Inferior’s probing interview of Catherine the Undead in which she attempts to ascertain the reasons behind Catherine’s persistent efforts to eat her classmates alive.

Extrasensory poop-ception
Tacy has ESP. Really. Well, sort of.
Last night, Tacy and CJ and I watched an episode of “Curious George” in which a blackout occurs. I reflected on the blackout in New York (and across several other states and Canada) in August 2003, and nudged Tacy.
“Do you remember the blackout in New York?” [...]

Some people see through the eyes of the old
My ninety year-old grandmother visited us this past weekend.
She called me two weeks ago to tell me that she was feeling wonderful and would like to visit. Without hesitation, I told her to make flight reservations.
My grandmother graduated from Miami University in the late 1930s, after growing up in Mount Vernon, Ohio. Her [...]
