Livin’ in the PJ’s…

Posted on April 23, 2013 by donofalltrades

For a couple of years during college, I lived in a federally funded housing complex, or, as you may know them better as, “The Projects.” At the time, these particular projects weren’t so bad, as far as projects go. The … Continue reading →

Queer guy hazers…

Saturday fun…for real!

Posted on April 14, 2013 by donofalltrades

The donofalltrades clan spent another Saturday together enjoying (for the most part) each other’s company.  This time we hit Six Flags St. Louis. We live close enough to the park that we thought we’d try season passes this year.  It was a … Continue reading →

Alienating mommy followers…oh wait, a guest post too!

Posted on April 12, 2013 by donofalltrades

I enjoy all the moms I’ve “met” in blog land.  I really do. I like to tease, but I know it’s not easy to be a mom, especially a stay at home mom.  I mean, those Baby Einstein dvd’s don’t just … Continue reading →

It’s a bitter, and maybe little bit angry saturday…

I feel a little bad because I have several new followers for some reason and this is a really lame, sort of atypical post for me.  Alas, my one die hard fan needs me to post something or her weekend, and possibly … Continue reading →

Jasper picks Cotton…

Posted on April 3, 2013 by donofalltrades

Stopping by bar on any evening…a poetry tribute or criminal abomination?

Posted on April 2, 2013 by donofalltrades

A Canadian fella says that April is poetry month, whatever that means.  He’s a fine writer and fun blogger, so that’s good enough for me. Inspired by his post about the sad state of affairs regarding poetry, poets, and all … Continue reading →

Easing back to funny…

Posted on March 31, 2013 by donofalltrades

I’m not inspired to write anything funny right now. I’m feeling a little under the weather and my last post was such a buzzkill, so nothing is really funny to me at this moment. I’ve decided that I’m going to … Continue reading →
