I got a $5 bill on Friday night when I was collecting cash for dinner. It has a red WheresGeorge.com stamp on it. Of course, I had to give it a try.
I logged in and made an entry. This bill has traveled ~775 miles from Florida to Virginia/DC.
There’s a wacky guy named Wattsburg Gary who’s [...]

Greetings! I hope all you happy goblins out there have a great Halloween today. We’ve got major festivities at work and free lunch! I expect to be sugar high later, so let me update you now.

I had a conversation this morning with a co-worker from around Scranton. He said to me that if only the Eagles could win now that the city’s curse has been broken. I said, that would be cool, but very sad. The only person I know with a PSL for the Eagles was my friend, JB, [...]

On Thursday, I received two of the same pieces of junk mail from you. That is on top of a piece of junk mail you sent earlier in the same week. That’s 3 pieces of mail to capture my business in one week, [...]

Most of my knitter friends are not young hipsters who rock out. They’re mostly moms with kids who are edging towards college admissions and retirement. One of them has had breast cancer on and off the last few years. She’s doing her third round of chemo now. It’s spread to her bones. I’m really worried [...]

I am exhausted from the morning gift orgy.
Two little babies got more than a lot from Santa, Mom, Dad, Auntie Mapgirl, Grandpas (2), Grandmas (3) and Companion (1). *sigh* Honestly, I am glad all I gave them was clothes. Dino jammies always rock.
