This Parade Brought to You By …
Today is Gasparilla, Tampa’s annual pirate-themed Mardi Gras-ish parade. As I write this, hundreds of thousands of drunken, rowdy people are crammed onto Bayshore Boulevard for beer, beads, and the occasional flash of boobs. I enjoyed Gasparilla when I was younger.

I’ve Got It Covered
I’m starting a new year with a new playlist — a collection of covers that are equal to (or even better than) the original song. Enjoy! What songs do I need to add?

A Wildly Inaccurate Guide to Chicago Architecture
My cousins and I recently descended upon Chicago for our annual reunion. Between all the drinking, eating, drinking, and more drinking, we went on a boat tour of Chicago’s architectural landmarks and marvels. I got some great photos of the buildings, but I don’t recall all the facts, so I…

Tripped Up
As mentioned in an earlier post, I tripped in London and ended up in the emergency room. I’ve been telling people that I fell when I was attacked by a pack of feral corgis outside Buckingham Palace, but the truth is I tripped on the South Bank near Jubilee Gardens.…
