Death’s Evil Stench

You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™ 9 people dying in one house fire. 9 people don’t usually die in 9 house fires. 50 people don’t normally die in 9 house fires. Typically ovens burn and couches burn and cigarettes burn and smoke detectors melt. Death in a house fire is not as […]

superbowl media day

You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™ Super Bowl Media Day Imagine if you will, every reporter with a question, every putz with a microphone, every scribe with an unspoken thought.

Mr. Coffee

you know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy. That morning cup of coffee. Getting out of bed is hard enough.

My eyes are open, but there […]

And this feeling is triggered the moment you realize that certain something is missing. For me it starts about 10pm Saturday night. That’s about the time a buddy drops me […]

Birth Order and the Middle Child

You know what’s Crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™ The Middle child. Loud like a subway train. Demanding like a jail house warden. Defiant like a punk rock band.

The Bartender

You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™ Customer Service. We nornally hear how bad it is. Well this is a story of how good it can be. And it can be that good simply because one person makes it happen. It’s a frozen tundra kind of night. The wind is howling and the […]

Lone Survivor

You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™ Lone Survivor. Wow. That’s all I can say as the film goes dark, the lights go on and I stand to exit the theater. “Wow” There is a smattering of applause, but the feeling in the theater is mostly that of emotion. The audience is spent, […]
