Sport Jacket
Friday, September 19th, 2008I just saw a dude wearing one of those sport jackets with the suede patches on the elbows. Just below the elbow patch was a big ol’ hole in the arm of the jacket. Apparently he needed bigger patches.

Low Soap Dishes
Tuesday, August 26th, 2008
Why are soap dishes normally placed so low around a tub. If the soap is directly in the stream of the water it gets all soggy - then you end up using way too much soap because the bar is all melty when used. Some people like to take baths - that’s cool, but is it really worth it? Is it okay if I put the soap dish higher or further toward the foot of the tub or would people think it looks strange?
Meatless March
Sunday, April 13th, 2008
Stacey and I went meatless for the month of March. Our only motivation to do this was to have an interesting experience. I admit, I had expected that I would perhaps learn more about keeping healthy while staying veggie or gain some empathy for vegetarians. Sadly, it was a little less exciting. Here is what we learned:
- I am more prone to fits of rage when living meatless
- My family gets confused, a little angry (Grandma Dot), and talks about it too much
- Stacey likes vegetarian burritos from Chipotle
- Avoiding meat makes me more regular
We celebrated completing meatless march by scarfing down some Five Guys burgers.
Stacey has had about enough of these silly games - but I’ve decided to try something for April that is perhaps more difficult for me than giving up meat. I will not consume any alcoholic beverage during April. Again, no particularly compelling reason to do this other than just to change things up. I can’t remember the last time I have gone that long without drinking - so this will be challenging. I have already started offering drinks to Stacey so I can live vicariously through her. April will be a little easier to try this than other months since I am on call two weeks for work - and I shouldn’t drink those weeks anyhow.
