Apartment Shopping

I mentioned in a previous blog entry that I’m probably not going to be renewing my lease. When I get my raise, bonus, or tax refund, whichever comes first, I’m going to seriously start looking for a new apartment. Right now, I’m just casually looking for a new place. This one had me drooling. I… Continue reading Apartment Shopping

Brisket, Part 2

After three and a half hours, I just took the beef brisket out of the oven. OH MY GOD! This is one succulent piece of beef. It’s literally falling apart. This was a small piece of meat and really could have come out of the oven 45 minutes ago. But still, it’s amazing.  The layer… Continue reading Brisket, Part 2

Dear John

Dear Landlord John, My lease is up in March. I won’t be renewing. You’re lucky if I stay that long. Love, Mike

Return Call

My neurologist just called me. That’s right, she called at 8:00 PM on a Friday night. She was just returning my call from earlier today. My bloodwork is back. The good news is that my vitamin B12 levels are higher than before, although slightly low. Normal is 240-900, and mine was 230. She says we… Continue reading Return Call

Asking for it

I mentioned before that I had asked my boss for a raise. After all, you don’t get what you don’t ask for. Last night, I did a little bit of cursory research. I started looking for a job. The intent wasn’t to actually find a new job. Instead, I wanted to know what I was… Continue reading Asking for it
