I was sent a nifty email earlier this week, entitled “you know your [sic] from delaware when . . .” I figured it might be fun to deconstruct it a bit, based on my own personal Delawarean experiences. LET’S KICK IT. You know you’re a Delawarean when: You know where, what and when the […] At the risk of sounding like a decrepit old geezer, playoff baseball games are on too freaking late. I can sort of understand why the scheduled start is 8pm on the East Coast; we wouldn’t want Californians missing out on games between Houston and St. Louis. But I do not think it is strictly necessary […] In talking to Ian and Henna a few weeks ago, it was revealed to me that they had been planning to run a 5K supporting Delaware Hospice, but it had been rained out in that weeklong torrential downpour thing we had going on last week. It was rescheduled for the morning of Saturday (2 days […] At this point, I’ve pretty much given up on maintaining a normal human sleep schedule, mainly because I’m clearly an alien. I seem to require the same total amount of sleep, ie about 1/3 of my day, like everyone else. Unfortunately, I appear to be designed for a 30-36 hour day. My job doesn’t […] Good job, Blue Hens! You had 5 yards to go for the touchdown, a full set of towns, over a minute left to play, and one timeout. And you managed to not only fail to score, but prove me right in many ways! And for this, I thank you. I didn’t actually go to […] My days are getting pretty boring. Spend a bunch of time at work putting out small fires, come home, work on things around the house for a little while, maybe play some video games and drink a few beers, go to bed. Sometimes the fun gets broken up by a rehearsal of some kind, but […] I’m getting pretty freaking tired of weather in the Gulf. Admittedly, that’s a rather preposterous thing to say considering that I don’t live there, and my only real inconvenience is some extra hours of work. If I lived there, I’d probably be living in my wife’s car and prostituting myself for cat food and gravy […] I present you with a quote from a song that you probably have not heard, by a band of which you undoubtedly are unaware. The Band: Billy Pilgrim. The song: “Hurricane Season.” The quote: The quarter moon like chalk on a slate Board the windows up before it’s too late The weather man and […] I’ve been digging wells for 4 years now, and nobody does it better or faster. I can punch through your foundation and dig down to the water table in one day, and you’ll have a non-federal water source for however long you can keep the government from finding out. I also set up the filter […] |
