Well, not really, but I thought maybe a 90&#8217;s dance song would get me in the mood to once again find a place to live, pack up all of my worldly possessions, unpack said treasures and once again settle in; but, not so much.  I am somewhat embarrassed to report that my significant other [...]]]></description>

My first bad experience with the TSA was in Austin, TX while heading home from a holiday trip.  It was 5 am, the line was almost out the door, and I was very low on my egg McMuffin intake, so I was understandably cranky.  After waiting about 90 minutes to get to the xray machine [...]]]></description>

October 10, 2008 marks the end of an era.  In a statement released last week, MillerCoors has acknowledged they have halted production of the clear malt beverage known as Zima.  According to MillerCoors&#8217; Chief Marketing Officer, Andy England, the decision was due to weakness in the &#8220;malternative&#8221; segment and declining consumer interest.  They are encouraging [...]]]></description>

One fateful night a few weeks ago, one of our new roomies returned to the house around 11 pm, fresh from a hard day of over-imbibing on potent potables.  After a momentary discussion on how awesome our dogs are and how we could quite possibly be &#8220;the coolest roommates ever&#8221;, he suggested we join him [...]]]></description>

Where have all the Craigslisters gone?  I never thought I would say this, but I miss my low-ball offers and off-the-wall emails from professional scam artists looking to &#8220;take that off your hands right away&#8221; for about 50% of the original asking price.  No calls, no emails, no nothing, just eery silence.  [...]]]></description>

Tucker is a hunter.  In fact, when Butterfinger and I were first considering what to name our little cow-dog it was a toss up between Tucker and Hunter.  He loves to chase anything fitting three basic criteria &#8211; small, fast, and furry.  This has lead to many unpleasant incidents in the past, [...]]]></description>
