The Bitterest Pill

I talk about not wanting to go to the “Black Chipotle,” getting COVID twice, the proper way to write an obituary, Lighthouse Spaceship & card tricks, bald guy hair maintenance, and how I am no good at reacting to getting a traffic ticket…

After a bit of an extended hiatus (almost 3 years?), I am back with the usual nonsense about restroom phone etiquette, rabid raccoons, the Bitterest Pill connection to possibly the greatest movie ever made, my version of TikTok, and my expertise in installing smart thermostats…

(Originally posted May 3, 2011) I saw Beck at the doctor’s office and Tara Ried at the meat counter. Apparently neither of them were invited to the big wedding across the pond.  Man, I haven’t seen this many people get this excited about breeding show dogs since, well, 1981.   Frankly, I thought the whole monarchy thing had run it’s course, until I saw Prince William/The Duke of Cambridge and his new (hot) bride driving around in an Aston Martin Volante with a “Learner” plate on the front.  Sweet move, Billy!

I talked reality with my agent.  Honestly, if you’re trying to make it in show business, reality is the last thing you want to talk about.

We started the odyssey of getting a new heating system put into the house.  We’ll see how that all turns out.  We had guys from a major American retailer come over to give us a quote.  We thought they’d never leave.  Eventually we signed on the dotted line.  Then, they started to get cranky.  Bad move.  Something they need to keep in mind: We don’t need the heater until October.  Mind your manners…

My apologies to Tara Reid for not remembering she was Bunny Lebowski.

(Originally released April 21, 2011) Hudson and his friends took part in the LA County Science and Engineering Fair, and I chaperoned.  No, not my first choice of chaperone, but there you are.

(Originally released on April 13, 2011) We were supposed to go to Hawaii again this year.  But, things can change.  Try explaining to your 8-year-old daughter that she won’t be spending her birthday in Maui after all.  Gulp.

Luckily, we spent our spring break skateboarding, flying helicopters and watching Psych.  Now, that’s spring break…

I drove to Arizona with my eyes closed and slept with my eyes open…

I went to a football game. Well, two. I think. Jimmy drove us. I “talked” sports and drank a third of a beer.

The song at the end of the episode is Autumn Leaves by Jimmy the Limo Driver, aka Big Time Small.

I go to a wedding, I go to Michigan and I go back in time. It’s good to be back…

I talk about my need for a new coding system, so I know when a woman is interested in me and when she is just being polite.

“What’s Your ’17?'” “Butterscotch?” “Lima bean?”

My daughter’s school did a production of “Chicago.” Should high school students really be doing Fosse?

I was trying to network…
