A couple of weeks ago my dear, loving, sweet, touselly haired and apparently gullible husband asked (yes ASKED) a friend for a 'starter' of Friendship Bread.  Now if I had been there I would have done the over- the- shoulder, out of sight, silent 'NO NO NO'  routine to… Read full post »

It has been 32 days since I quit smoking.  Thats 4 weeks and 4 days.  Thats 768 hours, or 46,080 minutes, or 2,764,800 seconds.  It helps to break it down into larger and larger numbers.  I am a guy after all, I like big things, size makes me feel more accomplished.  In… Read full post »

I haven’t smoked in a little over 55 hours.

  No really I haven’t! (Is that snickering I hear?) I know, I know, I am Scott of the Long Drag, Scott Who Smokes Like a Champ, Scott Who Quits Every Few Days- yeah, I get it.  I have tried before and/… Read full post »

   It’s already been three months of the ‘new’ year.  Being woefully unable to keep up with what day it is my response was something like 'WTF!!??"  Time passes much faster when you get older I have realized, which is admittedly no great realization, just so/… Read full post »

  I just couldn't let this one pass without comment.  Brace yourselves! The enemy of childhood has been identified! No it isn't crack, or misdiagnosed mental illness, or synthetic fabrics- no my dears it is HOT DOGS! Check out this headline :

From the American Academy of Pediatrics com… Read full post »

If you haven't seen this yet, here it is, it's in Atlanta,GA.  The latest volly by the pro life movement.  This one is seen by some as ingenious and by others (like myself) as simply sick.  Of course, thats no great stretch for a movement known for all manner of… Read full post »

I really don’t like nice weather so much.  Like today (02-21-10) for example.  The sky is that color of blue that, in a painting would seem so painfully artificial and unreal as to inspire sneers from slick, hipster types. “The sky is never that color, dude, yo/… Read full post »

       Oh cop-dancin' Christ, here we go again- yet another sappy, insincere apology from another celebrity! No, this will not be a screed about how we shouldn't bother with famous peoples lives, nor is it the oft heard where has social decorum gone, neither is it everyb… Read full post »

 All I could think of when I saw Mr. Weir take the ice last night was,

"Sweet smokin' Jesus, whatta mess!"

Now before I launch into what may very well be an invective, snarky commentary on Men's Figure Skating allow me to confess that, being gay myself, it is not… Read full post »

     I generally shun subjects that have been beaten to death.  But I have to vent about something and I hope not to offend too awful much.  It's about 'tipping'.  You know, the whole what percent do we leave after dinner question.  I know, I know, we've been o… Read full post »

     This is in response to the open call titled 'Lovers Revenge'. 

      I don't really consider myself to be much of a vengeful person but in matters of love I have every right to fall upon my ex's like so many Valkyrie!  I rather believe in ka… Read full post »

  Let’s talk art shall we? Specifically what is wrong with it.  Now in that statement alone you may very well be able to determine that I am not among the legions of the ‘everyone deserves a trophy’ crowd.  And you would be right.  I cannot comprehend how the pos… Read full post »

     I just read a blog posting concerning brestfeeding in public.  Apparently, a woman was fired for 'pumping' to feed her newborn and her supervisors thought it was taking her away from her work inappropriately.  Or something like that.  The comments were uniformly for… Read full post »

     So here I am- in the 'blogosphere' as I believe it is called.  It seems nice so far.  Already I have had two emails from some very friendly ladies who speak, or at least type, bad english.  Poor dears, they dont know they are barking up the wrong forest… Read full post »
