Heinz stole Hoser’s idea!

Posted on December 16, 2019 by Steve

One odd habit my best friend José had in college was dipping his fries in a mix of mayonnaise and catsup/ketchup (I don’t care which). He really liked it too. He’d fill up a salad bowl with this gross concoction! … Continue reading →

Posted on December 18, 2017 by Steve

A very awesome gift from my friends out East! A Lego-compatible mug that I need to decorate later. Currently, I have the Where’s-My-Pants guy on the side looking for his recently pressed slacks.

Posted on November 26, 2015 by Steve

It turned out to be a rather busy three-day workweek thanks to Somara coming down with a cold by the time I returned from Dallas. This translates into me staying out of the house for longer stretches to limit my … Continue reading →

Nelson! College buddy number two finally sees me in my adopted home! Hoser was number one way back in 1997. Doc doesn’t count because he lived/more here before I did, so that negates his past visits. What was the occasion? … Continue reading →
