Just Where to Start.

Fireside No. 1

It was something Roosevelt did. I hope a part of it was the fact that he wanted to keep himself accountable. But I think he did it for the correct reasons too.

I love bullies.

The second impersonation.

Sweet Jesus, I think I need to script the next one so it doesn't go off the rails so completely. If I had one less scotch in me at this... 3:21 a.m.(?!?!?!) This would never see the light of day. T...

Under the Wire

Soooo…. There’s this time at the end of every month where I realize that 10 days out has turned into 4 days, and then into 2, and I think, “I’ll make do for my Patrons!” And, once a year,...

Eat, Drink, and be Fat and Drunk

This is a happy Heather.

One who behaves erratically whilst at a nice restaurant. She says silly things, and gets more drinks than she needs, and loathes the idea of leaving before 4 hours h...

Start at the Bottom, and Work Your Way Up.

Can you feel it? I can feel it. Kinda? Maybe not really? Maybe it’s just psychosomatic.
