The people at fancy restaurants in the suburbs of Des Moines are so goddamned weird.

Heading back to a Des Moines dive bar to cleanse my soul.

I want breakfast pizza so bad

I’ve been experimenting with going gluten free again. As a bread and beer lover, this is very hard. Last night, after a few weeks of being GF free, Kari made GF waffles and I devoured 6 of them.

6 waffles is too many waffles.

I would like someone to invent a chewing gum that crunches like chips the whole time you’re chewin.

I’m a crunchy snack slut and do my best thinking when I take a break to go munch on some chips… but I dunno if my body can take any more chips.

NGL - I’m kinda jonesin for another pandemic. Not like a real one that fucks a bunch of people up, but maybe just like role play a pandemic… and hang at home with kbroox for a year or so.

Thinking about buying one of those hats that has a word that I identify with written upside down on it.

Usually when Kari leaves town, I have a strong urge to throw a party… but this weekend, I think I’m just gonna chill.

My skin is on fire from eczema, my cholesterol is high and I have coronary artery plaque higher than 75-90% of men my age.

Getting old is a blast.

The first time leaving work after daylight savings ends… it’s so dark.

I kinda hate this time of year.

Last night, @kbroox.com and I went to a pop culture themed Halloween party as the Insane Clown Posse and won best overall costume… even after arriving an hour after voting had started, hahah.

Woop woooooop.

RIP Krut… My first boss and a seriously hilarious person, who had the world’s tiniest nipples… What a dude. ☹️

Kari and I have some pretty great people in our lives.

TWO DECADES ago, a couple young lovers and best friends decided to get married... and it was the best decision ever.

Happy 20th, @kbroox.com!

Man. There is nothing like getting into your own bed after a week away. Especially when it’s freshly made and tightly tucked with clean sheets.

The hardest and most rewarding scavenger hunt is finding diet dewskis in airports.

Just got to watch my nephew block a field goal attempt at one of his last football games. Super fun stuff.

Home for a few hours before flying out to visit my sister for the weekend…

First time ever laying over in DSM, heh.

I’ve been wanting to see the Red Wings play in Detroit for the past 30 years and finally made it happen. Many thanks to my childhood buddy, Jeff for hooking me up with tickets tonight.

That was some excellent hockey. Fun watching them beat the Panthers too.

The modern prepper is: trying to figure out the logistics of getting the fuck out of this country.

This weekend: New Ulm, MN
Next week: Detroit
Next weekend: Atlanta

I am both excited and exhausted.
