Helping Stef Look for Scott's Glasses Almost Got Me Arrested, Again

Long story short, Stef misplaced Scott's $500 glasses. Stef also needed to take the garbage out before cleaning checks in the morning. I volunteered to get my hands dirty and carefully sift through each garbage bag, piece by piece, as I poured them into the complex's dumpster at 2:10am this morning.

I had Stef's headlamp on so that I could see in the dark. Out of the blue a girl walks up to the dumpster with her own trash. I was too tired to react with any emotion. All I could manage to say was, "Hi. Would you mind throwing yours towards the back for me?" Looking at her heavy bags, I realized how rude that sounded so I helped her by throwing them in for her.

"Goodnight" I said, and went back to sifting. It was then, as she was just walking out of sight, that I realized she walking pretty fast toward her apartment and I looked like some creepy pervert at an all girls apartment complex dumpster--I've probably got less than 5 before a police patrol car shows up.

I said goodnight to Stef and texted her when I arrived back at Carriage Cove, police-free. Thank Heavens! That makes two close calls in one week!

(I bet that girl I met will never go to the trash bin alone ever again.)

    It was that professional looking headlamp that cinched it! One of these days you are going to get marched down to the station for questioning! Thanks for being a big hero and not questioning Stef in her (late/early??) hour of need!

    Just tell me, when you were there, the glasses were NOT on the desk, correct? Do you think a pranky roommate stuck them there later, after she'd had her fun? Or was it divine intervention?

Rummi-"CUB" vs. Rummi-"CUBE"

The "Rummikub" Pronunciation Debate Affirmative Constructive: "Cub" For years, I have been a firm advocate and defender of the pronunciation, Rummi-"CUB".  The game box I grew up with spelled it, Rummicub  on the box. However, other productions of the game have variant spellings: Rummykub , Rummy Kube , Rummy Tiles , etc.  Based solely on box spelling, the game's true pronunciation is open to interpretation. Therefore, Rummi"cub" is equally acceptable to any other given pronunciation. Negative  Constructive : "Cube" My opponents argue that since the game originated over seas, we ought to respect and maintain its original pronunciation. Affirmative Rebuttal: Americanization of the Term When the game was brought to America and given Americanized rules, its name was also Americanized. Pronunciation loyalists then counter my rebuttal with, "there are lots of adopted foreign words that have retained their original pron...

The Secret Reason Why "Good Witch" Feels Emotionally Off

TL;DR It's the Botox. For the past 3 months, my wife, Stacia, and I have been watching  Good Witch  (via Netflix and Amazon Prime). Stacia adores winding down to "Hallmark-y shows." We can rely on Good Witch episodes to always resolve happily. The episodes are never too intense. The height of conflict revolves around things like someone's inability to locate the perfect spot to snap a romantic photo for a new tourism brochure. I consider my time watching these shows spouse bonding time , and emotional training. My favorite thing about watching feel-good shows with Stacia is getting to observe her facial reactions to the on-screen drama. When two people lean in for a long-anticipated kiss, Stacia tucks her knees into her chest and frowns with her forehead while lifting her chin and bottom lip. While I'm typically unable to suspend my disbelief, Stacia seems completely entranced by the various characters' emotions. Wishing I could join her in being swept aw...

Who's Got The Funk?

I am an amateur guitarist, and I've got no funk. My musical skills seem to lacking that special something . Great musicians have it . Those fortunate enough to have gotten hold of  it , create timeless hits. While musicians without it  fade into oblivion. After spending hours searching through Blues history websites and 1970's band documentaries online, I discovered what that special something  is thank to a (70% Man, 30% fish) character from the BBC show "The Mighty Boosh" named Old Gregg. He identified that  thing  as  The Funk ! But what exactly is The Funk ? Here is some dialogue from the show to help explain its origin and purpose: Old Gregg: You're a musician, yeah? Howard: Yes I am. Old Gregg: Butchya ain't very good, are ya? Howard: I'm one of the best in town. Old Gregg: Come on, I read your reviews. Hmm? You know what your problem is? Howard: What? Old Gregg: Ya ain't got the funk. You're all rigid. Hmm? You're l...
