this blog began as a section on my site called “Infinite Diarrhea” which I took down very shortly after starting it because … people were reading it. This, in turn, was causing problems in my already failing marriage …
I was shopping at a grocery store last night – Safeway – when a sudden sound caught my ear. I was so startled I almost dropped my wieners.

An elderly woman passed me, complaining to no one and everyone of the store’s abysmal temperature -What? Are they trying to freeze an old woman while she shops?
