Too Aggressive Or Too Afraid (MM #2117)

We had our first snowfall in Nashville yesterday and I noticed something. People drive too aggressive or too afraid, except for me of course. There really is no in between…

Handy Lesson (MM #2051)

I’ve learned a handy lesson about hiring a handyman for small home repairs. Don’t tell them that it’s a small repair in any voicemail you leave. I learned this lesson the hard way. Last week I was trying to find a handyman for a quick repair but couldn’t get a call back.  Finally, I didn’t…

Spider Webs (MM #1992)

We’ve got an issue with spiders. Everywhere I turn around the house I seem to run into spider webs. Now I don’t know if it’s just our problem, a climate problem, or something else. We’re not living in some sort of horror movie yet, but we’re almost there…

Supply And Demand (MM #1983)

Wise men and women say that it’s important that we keep learning as we get older. Recently I’ve been learning about supply and demand. Now I didn’t really need to learn much more about the subject, I’ve always understood the concept of supply and demand.  But lately I’ve moved up to a doctoral level class…

Both my brother-in-law and sister-in-law and the respective families are making the trek to Florida to…

Parking Garages (MM #1907)

I know that they freak some people out, but I’ve never really had any issues with parking garages, until yesterday. The day I got stuck in a parking garage. And when I mean stuck, I mean unable to exit! It was the strangest thing. And the ‘solution’ was even stranger…

Walk In The Park (MM #1882)

Over the weekend my wife and I did something we don’t often do, we took a walk in the park. We were visiting Nashville’s famed Centennial Park to see some of the sculptures currently on display. As soon as we got there I quickly remembered why I don;t spend a lot of time in the…

Food Trucks (MM #1859)

Food trucks have become a big thing in Nashville and in other cities the last few years. And while they’re working here, some towns are still afraid of them. My old stomping ground of Akron doesn’t want anything to do with food trucks. But there’s a new development in the food truck world that’s very…

Crosswalks (MM #1858)

Today we ask a Seinfeldesque question. Now, imagine me doing a Jerry Seinfeld imitation; “So what’s the deal with crosswalks? Why won’t people walk in them? Are they cross?” If people won’t use them why do we even have them?

Tiny Little Ants (MM #1851)

Every now and then our house gets invaded by teeny tiny little ants. It usually only happens about once a year, but it drives us crazy. We never had this problem when we lived in Ohio and I thought that it just might be a Nashville thing, but it’s not…
