When my friend Chris Cappello, affectionately referred to as “Square Seed” in the world of blog, called me to discuss the idea of being a contributing part of a melting pot of stories provided by various friends of his, I was, in no short order, humbled. It was […]
Please refer here for a quick refresher before continuing. This is a view of the other side of the street from earlier today. Apparently our hero continues to have issues with furniture slipping out of his buddy’s truck. Or his wife got sick of his shit and decided […]
I’m going home in a couple weeks. Home for me is Sidney, New York. Population: around 5,000. I love my hometown. Although I moved away 16 years ago just after finishing graduate school, I have many fond memories of Sidney and I miss so many things about it. […]
