Suck My Clock!

On Sunday morning, November 1st, at 2:00 am, daylight saving time officially ends. We set our clocks back one hour, essentially getting an extra hour of sleep, or an extra hour to party. Whatever works for you… Once Monday rolls around and the work week begins, it gets light earlier in the day and d

Why Can't We Be Friends?

I don't want to sit at home on Saturday nights anymore. So, I started going to concerts. Sometimes alone.  I joined a meet-up group. You sign up for an event on their website and meet new people who signed up for the same activity. It can be a dating site for making connections, or just an activity 

It's in My Soul and Now It's Running Wild...

I always believed life was about understanding other people, but over the years, I've realized it's really about understanding the one person who matters most. Yourself. If you're like me, you've spent your entire life filling roles: spouse, parent, earner, friend, to name a few… But as you get olde

My World Was on Fire and No One Could Save Me but You...

My world was on fire, and I couldn't save myself. I needed someone's help, preferably a woman's… I never thought I'd end up in this predicament, but here I was, alone, trying to figure it all out. I hadn't dated in 40+ years. I reluctantly reentered the dating scene. I avoided hardcore dating sites 

I Don't Ever Wanna Feel Like I Did That Day...

At its best, talk therapy is like a subtle emotional shake-down. Sometimes it takes a while, but eventually the important stuff buried in darkness comes to light. When it does, everything starts to make sense, and only then can healing begin. In my case, it took 17 months for that to happen. The imp

I Went to See 'Sons of Legion' at the Orpheum Theatre and Never Expected This. (I'm Not a Hitman)

In mid-September, I saw Sons of Legion at Boston's Orpheum Theatre. I went solo.  I arrived early, as always, and hung around outside for a while before going in. I had a seat in the second row of the mezzanine with a great view of the whole stage. When I took my seat, the mezzanine was pretty empty

October 10th is World Mental Health Day...

I made it through my first year of widowhood with the help of a therapist. But when year two became more difficult, at times unbearable, I thought I needed a new therapist, one with a completely different approach. I carefully selected a second therapist, one who listed his expertise as "working wit

Previously, Chapter 35: She Dreams in Color, She Dreams in Red. Can't Find a Better Man...  After I interviewed in New York, I flew back to Boston, my second flight in two days, and for someone who doesn't like flying, more flight time than I was comfortable with.

Longtime Toolies: Vindog Unboxes A New Table Saw

Recently someone commented, "Vindog's been at Barstool just long enough for a cup of coffee", and that person was right. I officially became a full-time employee on February 8, 2020. So, in about a month it'll be one year. In that time I've been involved in a lot of Barstool activities. In addition

Boston born (can't you tell by the accent?) Die-hard Red Sox, Patriots, Celtics, and Bruins fan! I once pissed off Jim Rice! I've been in more basements than mildew. I roamed the planet for 63 years before I ended up here...
