An Apt Team Name

It occurs to me that I forgot to post last week's bowling night. It is quite possibly due to the fact that I did so abysmally that my denial apparatus went into overdrive to block it all out. I truly tanked my average by bowling a 97, 110 and 101. A series where I barely broke a hundred average really jarred my senses a bit. There was a moment ( Read more... )

Hi, Fishtie! I was surfing after work to avoid rush hour, and I stumbled onto this page. This is almost as weird as when I try to fill in my family's geneaology from German webpages. You remember my last name, and I'm in the white pages, so give me a call if you want to go skiing (or snowboarding) or if your swashbuckling brings you through my town!

Hey there stranger. How's tricks?

Well, I fulfilled Frank's dream of owning a Fight Club House. I have a friend here who is your Evil Twin (except he's a gearhead)and we even hit golf balls against the back of the garage. Another time, he came over to watch a movie, and I stepped through a floorboard. He started laughing at me, so I got even with him later. He started to set his glass down on the floor, and I started shrieking, "DON'T LEAVE A RING!" He fell for it, then started laughing. The house is what a co-worker (who just completed a Real Estate course) refers to as 'Interim Use'. It's when the value of the land without a structure exceeds the value of the land with the existing structure. But I have a huge backyard, which is most important, and it's zoned for a duplex, so eventually I plan to build a better garage with an apartment over it, and then get my own Fonzi to live up there. Also, my neighbors have enough problems of their own that they don't hassle me about storing sheets of drywall on the front porch or other things Martha Stewart would not approve of ( ... )

Two years ago, when it looked like the Broncos had a slim chance of surviving the playoffs, I brewed up some homemade hooch out of persimmons. If drunk within the first 2 weeks, which would have been about Superbowl time, persimmon beer is cloudy orange, fizzy, and low in alcohol. If, however, the Broncos choke as usual and the stuff sits firmly corked in your crawlspace for, oh, about six months, all the particulates settle out and the transparent, apricot-pink fruit wine has a delightfully delicate bouquet and initial palate. . . .And then it goes down like raw tequila. Supposedly, it's impossible to get much above 14% alcohol through fermentation alone, but this stuff must have wound up at about 15% or higher! It became a great punchline when friends would drop in, and then start hinting around about a drink. My friend Glenda (the Good Witch), grew up in San Diego and 'must' have a little wine with her meals, actually enjoyed it. The rest would approach it very gingerly, grudgingly finish it, then ask when I would be making ( ... )
