HAPPY ANNIVERSARY Today my parents have been married for 28 years! What’s the secret to a successful, long-lasting relationship? Judging by this picture, I’d say keepin’ it real. Love you Mom & Dad! ~Your Oldest

Unemployment Tip #6: Embrace Your Family Remember back to your old job when your coworkers used to feel like your family? That’s because you spent 25% of all your time with them. But now that you’re “divorced” from your work family, it’s time to go back to your roots: your family…family. Whatever family means to [...]

On Christmas I made Grandma cry when I asked why she didn’t send me a Christmas card this year. It was something I noticed so I made a crack about it. She’s losing her mind so deciphering when I’m joking and when I’m being serious can be difficult. At any rate, yesterday I received a [...]
In April I wrote about my grandparents and wanting to spend time with them individually before one of us dies. On Tuesday last week, I went bowling with Grandma. So far, we’ve met up twice at the bowling alley. Our first date consisted of drinking bowling-alley coffee (its as good as you imagine), chatting, and [...]
Today is my dad’s 49th birthday. Happy Birthday Dad! When I was a teenager fucking-up the lives of my family, I didn’t much care for my dad. He was the enemy. To make matters worse, he liked my brother more. Of course, he never said this, that’s just something I felt. It made sense though. [...]
It’s officially my last day in Corporate America. I’ve got eight more hours of work left and then I’m done. What a week…! Between memorizing sides for my on-camera class, improvising at the Monday Night Comedy Show, memorizing monologues for my monologue class, improvising at Six Ring Circus, shooting “Fruit Salad,” memorizing scripts for film [...]
Why do you blog? Why share your thoughts with the world? I’ve been reflecting on those questions for months and I’d like to share my answer. On June 26 I wrote, “If I were a teenage girl, this blog would be my razor.” That’s only partly true. This blog isn’t my ‘razor,’ nor am I, [...]
Dear Diary… Let me begin by stating, I’m not sure where to begin. Yesterday I learned that my grandfather’s mother died of bone cancer. This is particularly bothersome because my grandfather is exhibiting the same characteristics as his mother did when she was diagnosed. Later today my grandpa’s test results will be available and I [...]
Lately I’ve been thinking about my grandparents. I have four grandparents and they are all living. They’re old and getting older. They’re all retired and slowing down. Soon they will all be dead and that will be sad. Then the family will “celebrate their life” with a funeral and it will be awkward. I’ve never [...]
Yesterday while in Watertown, I stopped to visit with my grandparents. It’s kind of an obligatory event because they live ONE HOUSE AWAY from my parents. They’re both retired without much to do, so they watch the comings and goings at my folks place like retired police detectives… They knew someone with a fuckin’ awesome [...]
This is my horoscope today: Relationship drama is likely now, for your emotions are all over the place. It’s challenging to get a handle on everything because you may not feel like you’re standing on very solid ground. The rules are changing, making this a poor time to try to hold onto the past. Be [...]
Despite my objections to the holidays, I had a great Christmas. Gifts aside, spending time with my brother and parents was perfect. For the first time in a number of years, I had the ability to wake up at my parent’s home and start Christmas day with them. I didn’t have to commute for over [...]
Today I need to go X-max shopping. There’s one problem though; I don’t want to. I’m naked on the couch watching it snow. It’s snowing a lot. A whole lot. My plan was to leave the house before most people would be out of church, but now it’s nearly four o’clock. I don’t want to [...]
I refer to Christmas as X-Max. “Spend to the X-max…!” I feel kinda jaded about X-max. Growing up, my parents were great. They treated me like every great parent treats their first-born. When I was younger, Christmas was a big deal. Now, it’s a whole different animal. I’m not waking up at 6AM to see [...]
Technically, I’m supposed to be studying the articles I printed for my research paper, but I can’t focus. This isn’t entirely my fault. I place a majority of my lack of focus on my neighbor. I really don’t like studying. There’s too many reasons not to. My apartment is messy. My work space is too [...]

On Sunday morning the phone rang. It was my brother. He was calling from Camp Ripley where he was training with the Minnesota National Guard. He told me that over the weekend he completed a packet of information which outlines what the Army is to do with his remains should he be killed in combat. [...]
