"...ice and snow, comin' through my radio..."


nasty weather right now, just not bad enough for the good folks to call off school tomorrow. Cold, wet, and grey. We both have more to do than can be done, but finding the gumption to get to it is, well, difficult. Then there's this fellow on the right, cozy in Costa Rica, making it through life with only a couple of toes and very little motivation. He won't write a great novel, but then again, he's not starting any wars, either. If we held the sloth in higher respect we may not be in the predicament we are now, both as a society and as a species.

Welcome to the Get It Your Damn Self Cafe

Glad you're here, even though it was probably a complete accident on your part. Being here by accident is a condition many of us share, I'm sure, though I can't say for sure that I'm one of us. I did get here by sheer luck, my proudest accomplishment. By get here, I mean at this station in life, with a beautiful, smart, driven wife, two of the most amazing children on the planet, enjoyable job that feeds my head and pays some bills...you know the scene: American Dream. And now, you're here. Thanks. Things just keep getting better.

The Get it Your Damn Self Cafe. Enjoy. Don't forget to tip the waitress.
