Ooh, the flossy, flossy

Listen up, ladies of Richmond.  In certain parts of the country, our reputation is well-known and widely recognized; free from the blemishes a day spent on the links at CCV or hollering at RIR could bring.  In fact, I am in one of those places today.  The town has a charm that can best be summed up by [...]

Man in Motion

I spent the last few days in a town that can only be described as a very close cousin of Oakland or Compton.  Like maybe the kind of cousin that happens when Mommy steps out on Daddy with Uncle Buck.  It’s the kind of city that I’m sure boasts any number of quaint little coffee shops and flower markets, [...]

3. Efforts taken are wasteful as your outcomes are less valuable than your inputs
4. A giant malfunction will bear your name if you take a beer bong to [...]

It Was a Good Day

Every once in a while the universe will grant you the kind of day that’s so spectacular it makes it hard to believe there’s any sadness in the world.  I am currently lucky enough to be having one of these days.

A riddle, shrouded in mystery, covered in an enimga

Life’s unanswered questions:
 
Why do people back into parking spaces?  Whose time does this save?  Not the person doing the thirty point reversal and certainly not everyone else behind you. 
 
Why is the Panera at Willow Lawn always so crowded?  Seriously.  This is insane. 
 
How come I never see little baby squirrels?  Only grown up squirrels?  Weird. 
 
Who legitimately [...]

gonna find out who’s naughty or nice

 We really should be working…but here is an excerpt from an exchange between TL Dubs and myself, regarding non-traditional email fonts and backgrounds:
 
TLW: I know I said before that I thought the fancy font was overkill but now I just don’t know….or maybe I’m just that big of a bad a$$ that I don’t care? [...]
