Another landmark gone
With every city, there are certain institutions which you associate with that city’s name and are an ingrained part of the city’s lore. Chicago has many of these fortunately, but one that I, among ma

Holiday hockey love
Holy mackerel. Just when I include a box score from the last hockey game I worked because of the amount of penalties, the very next game tops that one by a large margin. The game was pretty chippy t

Post-Christmas musings
While I’ve not really cared about Christmas since maybe my college years, my interest has been regained with being a father now. To see my daughter with huge eyes on Christmas, thinking that Santa ha

That's a large sticker you've got on your car there
As I’m walking through the parking garage at work on Friday, a Mazda Miata parked closest to the stairway had one of those transparent stickers on the windshield. It was one of those large ones that

A drunken post
Several months ago I had brought up the idea of a drunken post. Most who repied thought it would be a good idea. We'll see what you think after I write this hate-filled diatribe.

Some holiday thoughts
This year I used cash to buy Christmas gifts for Megan so there wasn’t a trail in our bank records since she does all the finances. What was odd about that was, especially in places where the cost wa

Globules of disgusting, discarded hair
A big selling point for houses, at least in Georgia, are hot tubs in the master bath with Jacuzzi nozzles. I’m not sure if we’re the normal family, but in the 5 years we’ve been down here, you could

Today I burn bridges
One thing I have prided myself on in my career is to never burn bridges with previous employers. I have always tried to leave on good terms, even when the conditions or certain people made it tough.

Old time hockey
Saturday’s game between the Gwinnett Gladiators and Toledo Storm began as a pretty physical game and got pretty rough in the end. It reminded me of the 1970’s era of hockey when gloves were dropped w

Weekend thoughts
My deodorant has a slogan that I don’t think is in its best interest. Underneath the name is the phrase “So effective you could skip a day”. I find fault with this logic on several points. First, u

Hockey is everyone else's bitch
I can't grasp college football's hold on the South. I have Thrashers tickets for January 2, which is Dany Heatley's return to Atlanta after demanding a trade before the season started. This is one of

Oprah and her unworldly hold on the female population
Let me speak for the male population. I DON’T GET OPRAH. Never have, probably never will. If I may presume, I’m betting that any man who isn’t into willfully putting another man’s cock into one of

A better word is in order
I’m sure someone has made this observation before, but as I was sitting in the waiting room with my daughter at the doctor’s this morning, it amused me that we use the word “practice” for the noun tha

Uniform mistakes
As I read about the Milwaukee Brewers plans to wear their retro 1982 jerseys, it got me thinking about the whole “retro jersey” phase that swept the (mostly hip hop) nation the past few years. I actu

Food marriages that should be broken up
Imagine if you were driving by the local mall and saw a restaurant that was a combination Red Lobster, Macaroni Grill, and some Chinese restaurant – all under one roof and one menu. That would seem s

Random Friday thoughts
As I was driving home last night I noticed a house that was festively decorated. Not only was the house and bushes draped in lights, but they also festooned their flag pole with lights. I don’t know

A city that was made for GPS owners
I’ve been ranting about the madness of Atlanta roads since I moved down here and it’s time I put it to paper. I used to pride myself on my sense of direction until I moved down here. Growing up in t

How dare you talk about my crime-infested, hate-filled hometown
For the most part, I’ve put Detroit out of my mind since I’m 15 years removed from living there, but something mentioned at a wedding the other week brought back some memories. The best man at a wedd
