The strange looking characters were standing by a large aquarium and one...

Did I Do Something Wrong, Officer?

No one wants to end their night with the phrase, "Did I do something wrong, officer?" Nobody.......... Everyone knows Fall is one of my favorite times of year, and since I wont be getting to celebrate it this year at a Halloween party, I got my way in getting to spend our date-night evening carving pumpkins and drinking my favorite seasonal Shock Top: Honeycrisp Wheat, while Patrick serenaded our small group of friends by the candlelight on a patio in the cool autumn air, and Stuart cooked us dinner. Let me tell you, carving pumpkins in...

Oh boy.

Let me just give a run down of a few dumb things I did this week.  Sometimes the boy is just in a crab of a mood. As I realize we humans aren't all peaches 100% of the...
