My dearest Stacey,
It's now been three months since we last said good-night.
It's been three months since we last looked into each others' eyes, shared what would be our last kisses and made a breakfast date for the following morning; a date that would never happen.… Read full post »
Hello ----. Thank you for checking in.
Hello ----. Thank you for checking in on me.
I have not been good lately. I don't expect to be good for a
long time.
I miss her so much that I don't know what to do with myself.
I feel like I want to crawl… Read full post »
For the past few days I have found myself obsessed with how Stacey was feeling as she died. She told me long ago that she had made peace with the idea of dying. I imagine she didn't have much choice but to… Read full post »
10 Resolutions for '10
1. In 2010 I resolve to stop smoking, lose weight and quit procrastinating (starting tomorrow).
2. In 2010 I resolve to stop answering the question: "May I please speak with Todd?" with the phrase: "You're soaking in him." every time some poor confused sucker/potential employer calls me o… Read full post »
9/12
As we all well know, Junior Space Cadet Glenn Beck's "9/12 Project" went down in Washington D.C. this past Saturday afternoon. Prior to this event, Beck played up the importance of this project as being an exercise in recapturing the unity, good character and American pride that "We the People"… Read full post »
A Public Option Handled Privately.
A thought that I had while reading through and listening to the partisan screeching about the state of the U.S. health care system that has dominated discussions on the street, in the home, on the web, in the few actual newspapers still publishing on paper, between talking heads on the news,… Read full post »
What the fuck, Texas?
For real, Texas... deep fried butter?
Why you gotta do me like that, Texas? Maybe secession really is the answer. Read full post »
… From my friend Leigh Bailey:
" No one should die because they cannot afford health care, and no one should go broke because they get sick. If you agree, please post this as your status for the rest of the day."
Any questions?

Adventures in Sketch: Phase Two
NOTE: Adventures in Sketch: Phase One can be found here.
Here's another "classic" sketch from my personal files. This bit of filthy lunacy was a collaboration between my longtime writing partner Sean Keenan and myself back in 2004:

2009 marked the fifteenth anniversary of my maiden move to Charlotte, North Carolina. I've lived there three separate times now and every single stay had ended badly. Despite that, I could see myself living there again. If the accepted definition of insanity is the act of repeating… Read full post »
Twang.
I've been slowly accumulating a collection of the old 1960s-80s Wizard of Id and B.C. paperbacks from Fawcett Books. They're by no means as easy to find these days as they have been in the past, but with a little perseverance and a willingness to do a… Read full post »
Adventures in Sketch: Phase One
This past week, Stacey and I have been gutting our apartment and reviewing our belonging with a fine-toothed comb. The apartment is full of bags, boxes, books, junk mail, old correspondence, classified paperwork from work, etc. We’ve been fighting an uphill battle to reclaim ou
A quick note about “Adventures in Sketch”
This blog contains postings titled “Adventures in Sketch”. These posts contain sketch comedy scripts pulled from my files that were composed by myself and a variety of collaborators from my (thankfully) misspent youth writing for and performing in a regionally infamous (and now defunct)

Where do we go when we die?
It seems like such a simple question, especially for the children
of a Christian or Jewish household who have been told exactly where
they’re headed if they don’t straighten up and fly
right right now, young man. Now eat your peas.
But

Hello and welcome. This blog will be a collection of musings, issues, stories, bad jokes, observations, diatribes, bitching, crying and all of the other stuff that one would hope makes for good reading. I have been away from writing for quite a while now and I’m trying to start again.
