It seems you people are a suspicious bunch. Because I haven't updated the tens of you who read my blog about how well or terribly wrong my quitting smoking is going, I'm being accused of jumping off the proverbial wagon. Well, doubters, you're wrong! I have successfully managed to not smoke for nearly three weeks now. And for those of you who still doubt me, I haven't chewed tobacco, used a

So...I'm irritable as hell and it's driving everyone around me to be irritable. This is not a good thing when you're in a home with two women who are PMSing or about to start PMSing. Maybe I'M PMSing! Regardless, I'm not enjoying being cranky all the time. Except when I sleep. Speaking of sleep, I had another major bizarre dream last night. I attended a funeral at a hardware store. Many of

Today's the first day I'm attempting to go without a cigarette. It sucks. What I'm trying to do is focus not so much on the fact that I really want a cigarette, but on the fact that it's an expensive habit. A pack of smokes here in Connecticut is nearly $8 per pack. If I just smoke one pack a day, that's around $240 per month or nearly $3,000 per year! But I didn't just smoke one pack per

I'm in the process of quitting. Not quitting life or being sarcastic or disgruntled, but quitting one of the most deadly and despicable habits known to man. Smoking. I use the term process because it's not something I've been able to do on my own before. And it's also something I've said I would do for several years now. It just wasn't convenient for me at those times. About a year ago, I

I'm ALL FOR health care reform. Yep, I really am. I'm all for transportability of health insurance. I'm all for not losing health care because I happen to get sick or have a preexisting condition. I'm all for parents being able to provide health insurance for their kids when they can't find a job after college. I'm also for tort reform. I believe there are a multitude of things congress (

Being a newbie to the Hartford area, I was interested in what kind of music scene existed around town. I've played music for 3/4ths of my life and love hearing local bands in little hole-in-the-wall bars and clubs. Saint Patrick's day seemed like a good night to head to a downtown venue to catch "Open Mic Night" at a cool, little blues/BBQ venue called Black Eyed Sally's. I'm not sure why you

If there's a vet who can explain the following animal phenomenon to me, please comment below... How is it possible that you can feed two dogs no more than 2.5 cups of food each day and have 15 pounds of poop in the yard in less than a week? And what causes a dog to wander around the yard while they're pooping??? I love dogs. I really do. But I hate the task of cleaning up the yard every

Someone didn't take their meds yesterday. Maybe he never took them. But he should have. Another "George Bush blew up the World Trade Center on 9/11" nut case, John Patrick Bedell, from California, took the time to put on a suit and tie, walk up to the heavily secure entrance to the Pentagon and decide to start shooting armed guards at point-blank range.

Every airline I've flown on sucks, but Southwest Airlines sucks the least of all of them. As a matter of fact, I don't think I can honestly say that SWA sucks at all. I've never had any serious issues or problems flying SWA with just a couple of exceptions, but they were either weather related or due to me booking my connecting flights too close together. Neither were things I could necessarily

I don't hate Connecticut. It's a beautiful place. But the snow's just plain obnoxious. Not only that, but the local weathermen (and before you accuse me of being sexist, there are no female on-air meteorologists on the local stations...at least I haven't seen any) couldn't forecast the outcome of the Dallas Cowboys playing a flag football game against the local senior citizens retirement

Congratulations to New Orleans Saints and all the fans who have loved and supported this team since 1967! What a great victory for all of us who thought we'd never see it happen.But I do have one question...why did Sean Peyton discuss the on-side kick with the referees? Uh? Yeah, that's what I said to myself when Peyton stated after the game that he discussed the play with the referees BEFORE

OK...so I'm probably about to lose a few friends over this post, but if you're a true friend, you won't question my logic here.So, President Obama has decided that the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" mantra of the United States military is no longer appropriate and I couldn't agree more.

Dogs can be a pain in the rear. But they're still easier to raise than teenagers, don't talk back and act genuinely happy to see you when you come home. AND they're still better than CATS!

Once upon a time, there was a battle...a battle of "good" versus "evil". A battle between Norseman and Saints. And when they clashed, the sound was enormous and echoed everywhere. After an hour, it came down to a little man, no bigger than 5' 8", who stood in the middle of the battlefield and brought down those evil Norseman and made them cry. Lesson: It's not always the biggest, the

When life has you down and you feel like you don't have a friend in the world, keep your chin up. It makes it easier for someone to slap you back into reality.

Keep your New Year's resolutions simple...like, "I resolve to sneeze less in 2010." Or, "I'll ignore others more often." By the end of the year, you'll feel like you accomplished something.
