MORE random stuff about your day

No one dies of natural causes anymore. They're always specific unless the family chooses not to mention it.

My daughter, son and I went to a salsa tasting festival in my hometown. Here the kids are, eating fried catfish, beans and rice from a local food truck.

[Thang-y]

I spent the day knocking about West London today.

I really want to get these Kobe Mamba sneaks but can't justify it.

Yeah, you're not 18 so you'd look like a dick.

You'd be a dick but the dicks wouldn't have you.

One of my favorite bars is closing down. Pacific Coast Brewery in Oakland. They were kinda on the forefront of serving craft beers made in No. and Central California. I've met a buddy of mine who lives in Berkeley there occasionally for years. Some BCBers have met my buddy Kevin - Minnie, Hatz, Quaco. We're going to try and visit one last time this month.

Looking like I'm going to have to cancel our first vacation since The Girl was born on account of delays in starting two new campaigns.
That's what I get for thinking I could get a week every three years...

I used to think about doing that when the kids were small and it's a big mistake. Luckily, my wife talked me out of it.

Think twice about what you're doing.

Can someone, anyone, fill in for a week? Are you really that indispensable?

[Count Machuki]

I'm working on it, man, but the company isn't keen on approving the time off...
In this case, Isabella would be staying home with her grandma anyway, but still, yeah...

I call my son almost every afternoon just to check in and see if everything's okay after school. We were having a little conversation and he made a crack about my intelligence.

I told him I was going to make a dentist appointment. He asked, "Why?" since nothing was wrong with his teeth.

I said, "There will be."

The Washington Nationals baseball team are serving an Oktoberfest bratwurst. I'd order two: one that kills me and one for my coffin.

That makes my colon ache just looking at it.

I think you’re supposed to eat it

It's not just the sheer size of it, there's also the red onions sticking out like tentacles.

Neurosurgery on yourself is harder than you thought, huh?

I'd hate to share a hotel room with someone who ate one of those! One or two rooms and nowhere to go.

Are you really that indispensable?

Guess so. The company is paying me to cancel.
That's The Man, for you!

I've been thinking about your situation a lot. Even if it's just you and the wife taking off, it's important.

If your company has to cut back, they're never going to consider the vacation you didn't take as a reason to keep you.

I'm pure mercenary now after two layoffs. I didn't use to be.
