St. Petersburg, FL is about a two hour drive from where I live, and I just drove it. Twice, actually. I drove there earlier this evening to attend a grand opening celebration at Corcoran Dwellings Real Estate Brokerage (if you watch Shark Tank, yes, it’s that Corcoran) at the invitation...
I woke up at 4:45 AM, and immediately thought about the mortgage business. As a general rule, I don’t recommend thinking about much of anything at 4:45 AM, so I’m definitely, absolutely against stressing about a day job. But sometimes certain shit pops in your head, and BAM! It’s there...
Roughly around 3:30 PM yesterday, I clicked a link to the Collier County Property Appraiser’s website to get an estimate of the ad valorem taxes on a certain house, and nothing happened. Like, totally nothing. I then tried several other websites, with the same result. “Stupid Comcast,” I muttered. Obviously,...
Another weekend, another Monday where I feel like I need a weekend. Yesterday, all I wanted to do was wade in chest-high, warm water in the Gulf of Mexico, while looking back at a beach. That’s it. The crashing waves, the warm sun, the beautiful clouds; I’ve found that’s kind...
Yesterday Evi decided not to take Sasha to VPK* as she had an earache and a headache. Sasha had the earache and headache, I mean. Though I guess if Evi had the earache and headache, the end result still would’ve been her not taking Sasha to VPK. *I have no...
In a few weeks, our family is going on vacation up in the Blue Ridge Mountains. We’re staying in the same cabin we did last year, but we’re staying longer (10 days) and venturing further (day trips will include North Carolina and Tennessee). I cannot wait. It’s weird how vacations...
Sorry for being late this morning. Was up very late last night and just could not roll out of bed. This will be short.* *Almost certainly a lie A comedian friend posted on Facebook the other day about all the things in life he’s grateful for. Included in the post...
I just turned on Disney Plus for Sasha and Norah. It’s probably going to piss off Evi when she wakes up, but what the hell, the girls were up before me, and crawling all over me ever since. And yes, I know that one day they’ll be 18, moving out,...
I was chatting up* an old comedian friend the other day, when the discussion turned to Facebook. We both pretty much agreed: we wanted out. Neither of us got really descriptive or in depth about why we wanted to leave. I think the operative phrase was “sucks balls”.** *Conversation starter:...
Videos and pictures of our vacation in the Blue Ridge Mountains last year are popping up in my Facebook Memories thingy, making me realize that I’m starting to burn out. We would actually be on a similar trip right now, but Evi had a scheduling conflict; some kind of presentation...
My wife Evi has put together an Easter Egg hunt in our backyard every year since Sasha was born. She once told me that she wants some kind of party that’s an annual event we’re known for. Like, how we spent three straight Thanksgivings at the Robinsons’, or three straight...
Did you know that right now, as you read this, you’re simply floating in a vat of cerebrospinal fluid? Okay, maybe not your body, but that’s what your brain is doing, and that really is the “you” part of you. Think about it: your brain is inside your skull, where...
As I’m typing, there’s a fly buzzing around my head. This is giving me anxiety, as the coffee really came out good today, I have a nice, new, hot cup of it next to me, and for whatever reason, flies tend to like committing suicide in my morning brew. Is...
I spent 2nd grade at Fairfield Elementary School in Virginia Beach, Virginia. My father was in the Navy, so we got moved around a lot, which meant I was only at this school for one year. The year had a few ‘firsts’ for me, though. I had my first-ever girlfriend,...
