One for Jags whose birthday is today
My favorite memory of Jags used to be the night when she told us about how she hung out at The Longhorn. I have a fascination with the Longhorn. A bar that I have built up in my mind as the Valhalla of Minnesota rock and roll. Whenever anyone talks about the Longhorn I sit [...]

This is the third nomination and first win for Software Man. Here’s why:
“Hey are you gonna be here Thursday or Friday?” I asked.
“No I am going to someplace you have already forgotten the name of,” he said.
“Oh, we’re celebrating Al, the cutest girl on earth’s™, 30th birthday,” I said.
“I got her a card already, he [...]
The copyrighted card
For my birthday, Sister #3 (who has all five kids during the day over the summer) had the kidlings make me some birthday cards. They were, of course, adorable.
Featured here is Max’s most thoughtful card. As you can see it features a monkey reading a book because, as he said, “I like monkeys and you [...]
Spoildest brat in all the land
This explains one of the reasons that I love my co-workers with a passion that borders on creepy:
Read moreD-Day always tries to steal my thunder
Allegedly it was the biggest military invasion in history. June 6, 1944 the Allies stormed the beach at Normandy and turned the tide of the WWII and eventually beat the Germans, and made the world safe for democracy, blah blah blah (see Dr. Marcus, I kind of paid attention).
Despite what history says, other very important [...]
Overtaken by the impending doom
The impending doom that is my 35th birthday (on Wednesday) has been preceded by a depressive funk that I cannot shake. For the first time in 27 years (since 1980, the year Sister #4 was born), I don’t want to talk about, celebrate, or even contemplate my birthday. This is in stark contrast to my [...]
Read moreSnap back to reality, oh there goes gravity
Even though I have reached the grand old age of 34, today I discovered that I can still pop-n-lock just like I was 24 or even 14. I’ve been listening to “Lose Yourself” by Eminem on repeat this morning.
Okay, that’s a total lie. I could never pop-n-lock. In fact, I’m not even sure what one [...]
Birthday party, cheesecake, jelly bean, boom! or 6 things that make for the perfect 06.06.06 birthday
6. Trix lipgloss from Max and Jaycie
6. Flowers, Flowers, Flowers from the people I adore the most
6. Seeing The Omen with your FFJ in a packed Shakopee theater
6. Amazon gift certificates
6. Kahlua Cocoa cheesecake
6. and the song, the song, the song, the song is the best!
World serves its own needs, listen to your heart bleed
For my birthday some of my Westernerd pals made a little song in my honor. It’s filled with inside Westernerd jokes (i.e. how i always say Monkey broke my glasses and my insane crush on a Westernerd who goes by the name Smoo), but you’ll still dig it. So the song is called i’m Always [...]

These are the flowers of the apocalypse from Al, the cutest girl on earth™. They were waiting for me here at Hell, Inc along with a 52-ounce bag of peanut M&Ms, easily the biggest bag of M&Ms I’ve ever seen in my entire life.
Read moreComing in a hurry with the furies breathing down your neck
Truth be told, I’m a little bit disappointed. It’s my birthday and all, and it’s 6.6.06, so where is the plague of locusts? Where is the rapture? There were people driving in cars on my way to work, even the ones with the little silver fishes were manned (or womaned). The most satanic thing to [...]
Read moreThat’s great it starts with an earthquake, birds, and snakes or Happy Apocalyptic Birthday to me
It might be the end of the world as we know it, but I feel fine. How can I not feel fine? I’m 34 now. Well technically, I won’t be 34 until 6:36 p.m. That’s right, no lie, I will be 34 at exactly 6:36 p.m. on 6.6.06. It’d been much cooler if I were [...]
Read moreThe calm before the 06.06.06 storm
So it’s only Monday, the day before my birthday (tomorrow 06.06.06, duh) and the birthday bonanza has begun.
It’s so damn dorky, but I love my birthday. I’m turning 34 and I still get so excited about my birthday that when I think about it at night I can’t quite breath and my heart gets [...]
Come on baby make sweet love to me or, how the patrons of Park Tavern came to think that I put out
On saturday night, one of my very best friends in the entire world announced to a crowded bar that I “put out.”
If I close my eyes I can still feel the heat of my blush and hear that low rumble of lots and lots of men cheering and whopping at the same time.
Michelle, our [...]
You won’t find any hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia here
It’s a mere 6 days until 06.06.06 which is my birthday! The only thing that would make this birthday cooler is if I was 6′6″ and turning 36. Sadly I am only 6′5″ and soon to be 34. I guess you can’t have everything. Incidentally, hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia is a fear of the number 666. Imagine, disliking [...]
