You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™ Your first. Your first car. Your first love. Your first Tommy’s double Chilli Cheese Burger. Yum. And now another first.

You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™ 650 million dollars. That’s what one lucky winner could take home if they match all the numbers in the Mega Millions lottery jackpot. $650 million dollars. The number is so big, so incongruous with normal thought, that it is almost impossible to digest. Most of us think […]
You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™ the Desolation of Smaug. How do you pronounce Smaug anyway? Is it Smog like the air in L.A? And why is Smog so desolate? Is it because critics are going to shun this celluloid debacle like a candy cane dipped in hepatitis. Desolation of Smaug is […]
You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™ The Christmas Tree. It’s the center piece of every Merry Xmas Moment and signifies that the best time of the year is upon us. The 2013 edition of my Xmas Tree is in my living room. It is a Frasier Fir, 9 feet tall and if […]
You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™ G.O.R. Grandiose Orations of Rudeness. Chatty Kathy’s. Loud talkers. Airport shouters and public displays of exuberance.

You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™ Mt. Hood. When you see it, your eyes scream “Wow.” It’s a mountain 50 miles from Portland, Oregon that is a staple in the city’s landscape. Mt. Hood is forged by pressure and time. It erupted when the Earth was angry and had nowhere to go […]
You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™ The Spider Monkey. I saw a spider monkey recently. It was agile, nimble, a climbing predator. It scampered into the canopy as the other climbing primates marveled in admiration. Where did I see such a creature? Did I get malaria shots and update my passport to […]
You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™ Brewing coffee in a metallic coffee pot on an open flame. It makes me feel like Clint Eastwood in High Plains drifter. “If you wake before me, use this,” my mom says the night before. She pulls the steel coffee pot out of the cupboard. I […]
You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy. An 80 degree temperature drop in 3 hours. 80 degrees? 3 hours? That’s unheard of. It’s like going from the dark side of the moon to the deep fryer at a burger joint. It’s the real life equivalent of out of the frying pan and into […]
