Friday morning Big D and I made a run to pick up some ice. Despite the fact we were in Vancouver, British Columbia – and totally unfamiliar with the Canadian ice-procurement process – we shot out the door acting very much like we knew exactly what we were doing. A bag of ice at the [...]
You know how, sometimes, you’ll be involved in a legal action. And due to the actions of an attorney it drags on and on and on and on. And it starts to wear you down and you eventually form the “This is sucking the life out of me will this never end?” thought. When that [...]
A most excellent day for a woman might go like this. An incredible day for a man goes like this. My cable has been acting funky. Which is not an excellent thing, really. It’s been funky for a while but it was funky in a way I thought might be self-healing. However, after several fruitless [...]
I thought I’d toss a couple of whole chickens on the Grill today. It was, after all, beautiful out and sitting next to a grill would give me a chance to pretend I was doing something even as I sat there reading a book. Lacking anything in the way of a cleaver or kitchen shears [...]

(Typically, most Sundays, I, of What’s a Delmer Look Like, put up a post that is heavy on the commas and full of suspect asides set [...]
A while back I made a visit to the Canadian Tire I always go to. I was in the mood to do some drilling and needed a bit to speed the process along. I think this had something to do with a project involving the installation of a doggie door. I looked over the bits [...]
I’d approached the stop light realizing I might have to sit there longer than the average commuter. I was, after all, on a bicycle and I knew from experience I lacked whatever it took to trigger the light to change. I also lacked the desire to get off the bike, go to the sidewalk and [...]

I’ve recently been reading a lot of Janet Evanovich books despite the fact I thought they might be chick books; a fact that was verified by Cap in a comment. In all fairness to me and my manliness, I’ve mixed it up a bit and have cranked through two of Alan Alda’s books, a David [...]
