Well, only when I drive on the highways. I spent 13 hours driving to and from Myrtle Beach this weekend and if I had a gun, I'd be in jail now. Why do people have to drive below the speed limit in the left lane? Why can't people use their directional to let me know they're turning before they turn? If you're in the left lane and there is a line of ( Read more... )

For some reason, I've been thinking back on some of the "big" decisions I've made in my past and wondering what would have happened if I made a different decision ( Read more... )

Had a very nice weekend. Friday night I had dinner and drinks with an old friend and we caught up on things. After dinner we went for more drinks and had a fun time chatting with the bartender. I haven't had a gin drink in over 30 years (I got really drunk on gin and tonics while in college), but the bartender convinced me to have one called an ( Read more... )

I was able to find the original sales receipt for my car so I headed back to the DMV this morning. I was in and done in 15 minutes! That has to be a DMV record. Hopefully it will be a long time before I have to go back to that office again.

Well it's been a little over 3 weeks since the big move back to Atlanta and the new job. The move went pretty smoothly and I'm getting used to the new apt. and location. The job is going well too. It's very frustrating going from a job where you knew everyone and had a work routine to being the new guy and not knowing what's going on. I know it ( Read more... )

...not me, my dog Jake. I took him to the vet last week for his yearly check up and got the results back the other day. I received 2 result reports. One is a "report card" type that had "normal" or "abnormal" checked off (liver function, kidney function, skin, teeth, etc) and a short hand written note from the vet. I noticed in the section for ( Read more... )

....my 56th birthday weekend.. ugh. For some reason I'm having trouble with this birthday. I don't know if it's the number itself, the fact I'm not really where I want to be, or just I'm thinking too much about life in general. Either way, I'm heading to Atlanta to celebrate with some good friends. I have 3 other friends with birthdays in ( Read more... )

As a kid I used to love having my birthday in January. What I didn't get for Christmas I always asked for my birthday (not that I always got what I wanted - but it was worth a try). Now that I'm older it's another reminder to take a look at my life and what I've accomplished, or more specifically what I haven't. I just get over the post holiday ( Read more... )

Seems like only yesterday we were celebrating the new year. I had a nice, if not unusual (for a single, gay man) new year's eve. I spent it with my straight couple friends and their kids. One of my friends reserved the club house of their neighborhood for the night and it was a large room with a kitchen, tv and lots of space. The kids (ranging ( Read more... )

This weekend I went to a Christmas party with a friend up in Roanoke, VA. We got to our hotel Saturday afternoon, checked in and immediately went into town for a drink (or two) and some dinner before the party. The weather wasn't all that great, but we did get to walk around a bit. It is a very nice little town with some great shops and ( Read more... )
