RUDE mean bad McDonald's Manager!

Sat May 30, 2009 4:15 PM EDT

So, yeah.... I went to McDonald's today, if you haven't already guessed. My adventure through the streets of Orlando has found a few good wifi hotspots, one of which was the nearest McDonald's. I had a little trouble getting to use their wifi in the beginning.

The Littlest Luxuries

Thu May 28, 2009 8:06 PM EDT

Mmmmmm....I have a chocolate milkshake in front of me tonight. I've been wanting one for several days now, and have waited, anticipating that extra-rich, super-chocolately, creamy treat that we have come to expect as Americans.

The Craziest Dreams

Sun May 24, 2009 11:10 PM EDT

Do you dream? I don't mean the kind of daydreaming that we all do while we're struggling through our lousy days hoping like crazy to dream up a better way to be and live. I'm talking about those sneaky little movies that we don't ask for, but are given nightly in our sleep.

It's God's Fault

Sat May 16, 2009 3:27 PM EDT

There it goes again. It's the finger of blame, that eternal grammatical misnomer capable of annihilating the world's sanity. For those of you who are easily disturbed when someone enjoys a good laugh with God, it might be best if you just go away now.

There's Gonna Be a Fee for That

Wed May 6, 2009 10:34 AM EDT

You know, there's a price for everything, but has anyone else noticed a dramatic increase in fees in recent years? There's a booking fee with the airline if you just insist on talking to a real person when you hand over hundreds, if not thousands of dollars for a ticket.

Bits of Chaos

Mon Apr 20, 2009 2:34 PM EDT

Hundreds of thousands of curves whirl into a swirl of images. Chaos is born. Pieces of points unify lines. Borders draw the ragged edge of time. Chaos defines. Life's greater scheme lies within. Fragments of delight tickle, tease! Chaos enchants.

Have You Been Held at Gunpoint?

Sat Apr 4, 2009 2:18 PM EDT

Have you ever faced the wrong end of a gun? I wonder today at how many have just one time in their lives. Some people endure the burden daily, while others can't imagine the experience.

Vacation---Day 1

Thu Apr 2, 2009 8:54 PM EDT

Mmmm..... Day 1 of a vacation, and I am loving every second of it. The office called. Several times. I didn't answer the phone. They'll be okay without me, I'm sure. My kid sent me a text message. I answered her with one little word.

Tue Mar 10, 2009 1:39 PM EDT

The Right to Throw Away Our Lives What did you throw away last week? How many bags of trash had to be lugged, hauled, delivered, compacted, dumped that have your lifestyle signature on them? Have you ever give plain old household garbage a second thought?

My Bittersweet Brush with Racism

Wed Feb 25, 2009 10:46 AM EST

There is a lonely road in Arkansas that I used to know. It's a nice road, as far as roads can be nice, I guess. It's made of red clay and gravel, so during the rainy season it gets a little messy. It gets grated often, so most of the time, it's a nice, quiet, lonely little road.

Tomorrows

Thu Jan 29, 2009 9:15 AM EST

Hhmmm... Did you ever reach a point in your life that caused you to just sit back and take a good long hard look at your tomorrows? Do you give much thought to your tomorrows? I like tomorrows. Tomorrow is, and will forever be, a dawning of a new day.

4-Wheeled Motorcycles

Fri Jan 9, 2009 4:01 PM EST

No, it can't be a motorcycle if it has 4 wheels. By definition, a motorcycle has 2 wheels. I've been thinking, though. Of course, when I start thinking, I always discover a dozen or more questions.

How Are You Coping?

Thu Oct 2, 2008 2:05 PM EDT

As panic settles into depression, we look around us and see that we are not invincible. We are no longer bulletproof. Wall Street is not ten feet tall, after all. America has been on a pedestal for a long time now.

Waking Up to a Dead Dog

Tue Sep 16, 2008 10:21 AM EDT

The first thing I saw when I looked out my front door this morning was a dead dog at the end of my driveway. Living on a busy highway like I do, I'm neither surprised nor concerned for the dog. It's not my dog. It's obviously dead. It is, however, in my way.

The Top of the World?

Tue Sep 2, 2008 11:22 AM EDT

In the history of mankind, there has been a driving force behind people to do more. We have went above and beyond the call of duty to create civilization as we know it, and in nearly all of the world, success has been monumental.
