During the Capitals-Lightning hockey game on April 13, Joe sent the following tweet: Exactly 10 seconds later, at 2:41 of the second period, Jason Chimera (aka Chim-Dog) scored! See that black spot in the back of the net? That's the puck. On April 14, Joe and I went to the extra-special spiffy Season Ticket Holders party at Six Flags. We ate hot dogs and chips, wandered around the park, and I stood in line to... Read more →
I had a doozy of a nightmare the night before last. It came at the tail end of a long, involved dream wherein I was working with a bunch of people in the building where I had my first real job.

But for now, Sunday Stealing! 1. What is the strangest thing you have ever eaten in public? It's probably not particularly strange, but it was to me. When I was in Milan way back in Aught-Three, I went to dinner... Read more →
Okay! The donniker story! As I mentioned, circus folks have a language all their own. One of my favorites is donniker, which means toilet. Merriam Webster Online says it probably has its roots in the word dunnekin, from an old English dialect. Well, be that as it may, of the four circuses I worked for, only one had its own donniker. The others either brought in Porta-Potties (which we still called donnikers) or played venues... Read more →
