You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™ 40 years in the sausage factory. I was talking to a co-worker the other day. He’s been here almost 40 years. 40 years is an eternity at one job. It’s a gold watch plus 15. It’s a marathon of over-time, missed holidays and late dinners. “When […]
You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™ Losing your soul mate. I get off the plane and my phone begins to buzz. It’s my dad. “I’ve got bad news,” my dad says.

You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™ A Total Solar Eclipse. It’s a celestial moment in time that makes the universe stop and marvel. At 1:27 pm, on August 21st 2017, it happened.

You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™ Taking your kid to college. All week I’ve been staring at small piles of stuff on the floor, scattered about the house. T shirts next to the couch. A new lamp on the counter. Towels and sheets in the bedroom. “When are we packing?,” I ask […]
You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy Charlottesville. 3 dead. Many injured. America has a black eye this morning.

You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™ Fight Club. It’s a novel and screenplay written by Charles Michael Palahniuk. “It’s only after we’ve lost everything that we’re free to do anything.” Brilliant! It’s one of the classic movies of all time. Brad Pitt and Edward Norton play two roles of the same battling alter […]
You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™ The donkey faced woman and the pink shirted huckster. The upscale steak house is packed. We put our name in with the host and we’re told it will be 40 minutes. We survey the rectangular bar in the middle of the room. The bartenders are inside […]
You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™ Choosing a new TV. What size. What model? Smart or stupid. Plasma? LED? COD? My Plasma went dark the other day. A dark TV has few options. It’s a paper weight? A boat anchor. An interesting item to look at on garbage pick up day. Dark? […]
You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™ The DNA test. “You mean I gotta spit in this tube?,” I say staring at the empty chemistry beaker in my hand. “Spit in the tube,” the girlfriend responds. “But it’s kind of gross,” I say poising the plastic test tube to the underside of my […]
You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™ Driving with ants. “What the F, dude!,” I yell over the sound of a Linkin Park guitar riff. Spotify is playing the band after their lead singer was found hanged to death in his home. “There are ants falling from the roof,” I say with emphasis. […]
