Ah, back from 2 weeks of getting married and honeymoon on Maui…It was a success and my wife and I couldn’t be happier…However, there’s another story that needs to be told.
…About a week before we left for Maui, I came home late from fishing and found a nicely wrapped package on my desk…My wife stood by [...]

My broken birthday…

Happy Birthday to me!! My birthday fell on Friday the 13th this year, so I decided to do something special…
A few weeks ago, I had a “genius” idea to rent a Party Bus. Put your friends together on a bus, serve alcohol, play music, and dance your way from bar to bar…no one [...]
So embur-sing…

Update: After a visit to the doctor today, here’s the “good” news…I have a sprained MCL on my left knee, moderately severe, requires a thigh to ankle brace that won’t let me straighten my leg for the next 6-10 weeks.
The “bad” news is that I may have done something to my ACL [...]

It’s been a few weeks since I’ve tied some flies and I’m definitely behind for the ‘usual’ amount that I tie every year (the ‘little lady’ is crackin’ the whip and wedding planning stuff is killing me)…
Now I finally have an ‘excuse’ for the ‘little lady’ as I conveniently received a ‘fresh batch’ of pheasant tailwings [...]
I’m thankful for…

The Wednesday before Thanksgiving has become a tradition among some of my friends where we get together to kick off the holiday festivities.
So we headed out to celebrate and have some fun!
Stories about what we’re doing for the holiday and about family traditions are inevitable. The one common theme this year was that all of our families do [...]
The kindness of strangers…

I went to a “Top of the Hill” birthday party tonight…a friend of mine just turned 39 and his wife threw him a surprise party. Very fun.
I didn’t know more than 2 or 3 people at this party when I got there, but I knew everybody by the end of the night. Great group of people!
When [...]
Virginia Beach, baby!

So I went to Virginia Beach for a visit with my bff who moved there last March…This was my third trip to see her in the past year and a half, and it was just a quick trip. I flew in on Thursday and headed to Chicago for work on Sunday.
I had to entertain myself on Friday because [...]
Kicking a bad habit?

Hmmm…I started chewing tobacco ‘full-time’ when I was a freshman in college…That was damn near exactly 15 years ago…Ouch…
Of course I’ve heard about the bad things that stuff can do to you…But I’m young, healthy, ten-foot-tall and bulletproof mofo…Heh…
…I went to the Mariners game (again) vs. Tejas the other night…It’s that time of year when [...]

My bff moved away to Virginia Beach about a year and a half ago…it seems like it’s been a LONG year and a half! I’ve seen her quite a few times…she’s come home…I’ve visited her there…we take vacations together…but we are both HORRIBLE about the whole phone calls, emails, text messaging thing. And no matter what, it’s just not [...]
A new contributor…

I’ve added a new ‘author’ to the Dawg Blawg!
Welcome aboard JMAC!
A female perspective should keep things interesting around here…
Jmac meets the ‘Dawg Blawg author’ requirements: She’s a ‘Dawg’ (UW Husky), she’s from the pacific northwest and she has a great sense of humor…
My “partner in crime” SK8RAT will also be a contributor here when he returns from [...]
