God and Gunpowder
It’s the 4th in Phoenix, time to prove how much you love your country by burning it down.
The upside-down
It was Fourth of July weekend — 105+ degrees — and the Boy’s air conditioner went kaput.
Micro-aggressions
I hate just about everything that is fucking PC, but in the past few weeks I’ve learned to really like “micro-aggressions.” I plan to use a lot of them at parties and family gatherings.
The price of kindness
If everyone is a whore and it’s just a negotiation over price, I learned I have a total value of one cold beer.

One of the family secrets that I did not know until recently — my mother used to call us: “The Shit Show.”
