\”Come on, Tone-dog, let\’s ditch these dumb dogs and go to Dogtown.\”
The title of this post was actually spoken to me by my swaying, bleary-eyed, sister-in-law towards the end of a four-day bender that started last Thursday night and ended Monday morning. More on the weekend\’s choice one-liners later. It is now Wednesday morning and I\’m finally seeing clearly enough to compose some sort of recap. [...]
Read More...Trivial Bloodbath
All right. I guess I\’ll do the deed. Last night\’s trivia was a meltdown of Dan Kolb proportions. Our team name was Hispanics Spitting In The Olsen Twins Food, and the only positive thing that happened was that the actual Olsen Twins team was kept from three-peating by a team who, coincidentally, also chose to [...]

Yes, we have made lists. Between auto maintenance, book clubs, drum lessons, out-of-town [...]

Is this not yet a substantial enough medium, subject to the crests and troughs of any entity existing in modern society? Don\’t answer that. Blogging about blogging is like hosting a shower for [...]

Although I\’m exposing myself to massive amounts of shame and ridicule, I thought I\’d come right out and say it anyway: I think I killed my lawn. Well, killed is a total exaggeration, but all is definitely not well on Turf de Tony. The weather this year has been nothing short of perfect for growing [...]

It\’s Thursday and that means we\’re recapping trivia, which is only interesting for the other 7 or 8 of you who were there. Here\’s what we learned: -The War of 1812 lasted approximately two years. -Tampa and St. Petersburg are not close enough together to be considered the same thing, which I tend to agree [...]

Braves – 2 , Angels – 4 In my continuing middle finger to mother nature, the Duke and I went to the Braves game last night despite the severe weather warnings. There were some cranky clouds at the very beginning, but, aside from a couple light sprinkles, there were no weather-related interruptions. It looks like [...]
