The Difference Between Men and Women
Summed up entirely in one short, recent exchange between me and my wife, Laura.
Laura: (Flustered) Drex, I just need a listening ear. It was such a stressful morning. First, I got Eden all ready to go the park, then I made brownies to take to all the kids, and when it came time to go the park Eden didn’t want to go. She wouldn’t put on her shoes, wouldn’t get in the car, and threw a tantrum. It’s been such a difficult morning.
Me: (Silence)
Laura: Are you even listening to me?
Me: Of course, of course. I’m just processing. Let me get this straight. You’ve still got the brownies?
COMMENTARY: I wasn’t being a jerk. I really was listening. But then I heard the word “Brownies” and something happened to my brain. It’s a man thing.

Airline Insecurity
Monday morning in the Minneapolis Airport, while standing in line to check my bags, something unusual happened. It was 6:30AM and the airport was already packed and bustling. Lines were long. People were grumpy.
I glanced to my left and noticed a couple of feet away from me a garment bag laying in the middle of the floor unattended. I asked everyone in line if it belonged to them. Nobody claimed it. Some of the people in line started to get nervous. We sat there staring at it like it was a dead body or something. Some of the people in line even started moving away from it out of line.

Einstein does NOT work at Einstein’s Bagels
This morning I flew from Minneapolis to Phoenix. I had an early morning flight, was running a little late and hadn’t eaten breakfast. I hurried to the gate but stopped to grab a breakfast bagel sandwhich at Einstein’s. Here’s how it went down.
1. I tell blonde-haired bagel order boy I want a Santa Fe sandwich on a whole-wheat bagel. Read more

John Roberts nomination to SC
Democrats are screwed. Only 3 Democratic Senators verbally sent notice of opposition last night, and they were the customary moonbats - Nutty Leahy, Greasy Schumer, and Turncoat Durbin.
Roberts is a DC insider, highly respected, considered to be a lawyer bar none, is currently serving as a Federal Judge on an Appellate court, doesn’t have a controversial paper trail (or much of a paper trail), has a good sense of humor and a go-lucky demeanor, and is well liked by many Democrats.

Orrin Crap
Tonight Senator Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) appeared on Fox News Hannity & Colmes program and said the word “crap” twice in a 10 second span. The context was in terms of his response to a question about whether or not Democrats would try and torpedo the John Roberts nomination to the Supreme Court while he was in committee (the Senate Judiciary Committee, of which Hatch is a member). He was saying something like, “I hope they don’t try to pull any of that crap.”
Crap is just such a funny word. And the way Senator Hatch says it. He holds the Arrrrrrr out. Don’t pull any of that Crrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrap. Like my dad says it.

Mishack
The first thing you have to understand about Mishack is that he is tough as mierda. Mishack (God rest his soul) is our recently deceased dog. He was a large, white, German Shepherd who due to health problems finally had to be put down. Three weeks ago my folks called me to let me know that Mishack’s hip dysplasia had gotten so bad that he could not raise himself up. I was pretty heartbroken and shed a tear or two.
