There are moments when the past does not come back as a clean file, a certificate, or some perfectly archived record sitting there waiting for you. Sometimes it comes back as a newspaper clipping in a package of old pictures. That is what happened here. My sister Melinda found this clipping in a package of…

I have been making this statement since I first learned that Massachusetts rideshare sick time was capped at 40 hours. This was not something I started complaining about only after a delayed payout. I noticed it when I was looking at my sick-time balance, hoping to accrue more hours, and saw no movement. I kept…

Reality TV has always had a built-in expiration date. Not because people stop liking drama. People will always like drama. That is not the problem.

And as much as the Irish can feel sorry for anybody, eventually enough alcohol gets involved that nobody gives two fucks. The Irish have that particular problem very well covered. Then you’ve got the…

One of the things I enjoy about being on the road is that sometimes life hands you a story before you realize you’re in one. I was driving along when I noticed a line of sleeper cabs making their way down the road. Not one truck. Not two trucks. A whole procession of them. And…

One of the first things you might notice when visiting this site is what’s missing. Where are the advertisements? Where are the banner ads, pop-ups, autoplay videos, affiliate links, sponsored articles, and endless reminders that somebody wants your attention, your data, your money, or all three?
