Notes
I’ve been away from this blog for awhile. Summer frolicking, Swine flu, work, bicycles, and malaise are a few reasons. As winter settles across our wide and hallowed land, I find myself once again inspired to blog.
What’s different in life now? I work all over the damn place: Montana, North Dakota, and Arkansas.
My relationship with work ebbs and flows between inspiring, humbling,...

The Road Does Mean Things to Me
Not really, it just gives me some time to myself. I traveled from Milwaukee to South Bend, IN today. It took about 4 hours because I has to spend a lot of time driving slowly through a fettid, traffic clot of a shitty that some people call “chicago” (more on Chicago, in general, later).
I’m in South Bend to help get some things going for work down here. Mainly, a canvass.
In...

A holding pattern? I’ll show you a holding pattern…sheeeeeeeit.
Oh, and...
Take your scarves off, this isn’t the FC Barce game, or Barce, or the desert, or a train robbery, or really winter, or your big chance to impress another pinche cobarde.
Effs.

I would like to sit in a chair, but I guess it’s more important that everyone’s jackets and sundries get a seat first.

sun god
Weather like this makes me want to be a pagan. It’s about 1000 degress and sunny in Milwaukee. The fifteen inches of snow that blessed us this week has melted.
There’s a gently humming motorcycle in the garage. Mingled with the sound of snowmelt meandering down the roof, it’s a symphony that means one thing…spring is coming.
I want to worship the sun and the god(s) that...

Bad Move?
Last night, a friend betrayed me.
Typical Milwaukee night: Drink here, drink there. Decided to check out a new place - where one of our party had enjoyed some good times in the past. It sounded great. Cool old bar, resident dog, wild lady owners who like other ladies, and “scorpion shots.”
Tuesday night, right? My friend made the recommendation, she’s fun, I trust her - i...
HA.
This song popped back into my head after about a decade.
It’s Juvenile’s anthem, HA. Remember it? It made all the difference to us. When we listened to it, we listened to it right: on the two shit-rigged 6x9’s in the back of my 1982 Carolla wagon.
When I heard the lyrics, I realized that he was on to something…
You know how to use a triple beam ha

STEVE VS. MAN VS. FOOD
On thirteen separate occasions in the last month, friends and acquaintances have reached out and touched me with a tickled little gem of a realization. These people think that I look “OMG EXACTLY” like the host of The Travel Channel’s Man vs. Food: Adam Richman.
First, fuck them and all that. That’s him, this is me:
That’s right, busy at work in my office, like...
