On the way back to the office after lunch today, there were two young women standing on the sidewalk. They were wearing bright green vests festooned with GREENPEACE in large friendly letters. One of them approached me and my coworker and said, “Good afternoon, gentlemen.” I had noticed the word on their vests, which negated…

I saw an RTD bus driver who looked like Pope Benedict XVI. I can’t help but wonder if he’ll be retiring soon, too. At least he didn’t look like Harry Reid, but it was only slightly less scary.

Sheri and I have a Wednesday tradition. We like to go to Whole Foods and have dinner at the hot bar. The food is OK, not great. The company is excellent when Sheri is there, and it’s a nice way to change things up a bit mid-week. We went tonight, grabbed our food and sat…

I used some “Enchanted Sugar Plum” hand soap at a friend’s house last night. This is my first real world contact with a sugar plum. Until yesterday, they only danced in my head.

We went to visit my wife’s parents for Thanksgiving weekend. Sheri’s grandmother gave us a Persian rug as a housewarming…

I saw a guy in Whole Foods last night sitting at one of the tables where people eat the prepared foods they offer. He looked exactly like actor Harve Presnell, who played Wade Gustafson in Fargo. Not a passing resemblance, but full on “Oh my God it’s a movie star”. And he looked like he…

A few weeks ago we were at one of the local grocery stores shopping. There’s this completely adorable little old Asian lady who is a cashier there. She can’t be any taller than 4 foot 8 inches, if that. She is always friendly and smiling. We’re regulars and see her frequently, exchanging pleasantries and trying…

The World’s Angriest Delivery Man just dropped off five large boxes in our office. They’re tall, thin, and long and have lots of “do not use a dolly or fork lift” stickers. Not the easiest thing to deal with, but doable. Or so I thought. While trying to get them in the door, he got…
