Sunny Side Up: Weeds

February 3, 2021 by Philip Long

It’s weed season, people! I’ve been looking forward to writing about this all year. Wait, my wife says weed season doesn’t exist. Well then, honey, why do I have a trillion seeds cleaving to my socks?! She tells me that means we’re in the dry season and dead weeds have gone to seed.  Good.

What about the rest of us normal Florida men? I’ve explored this idea before, but I feel that there’s more ant-riddled ground to cover. So, here are some headlines that real news should be relaying: Florida Man greets … [Read more...]

Sunny Side Up: Back to School

October 5, 2020 by Philip Long

It’s back-to-school season. Yay.  Our poor young people. One day, when their children whine about walking to school, today’s youth will be ready. They will speak of 105-degree walks in the middle of worldwide super-viruses. They will speak of sanitizers, masks and temperature checks whilst trying not to shrivel into a pile of dust. And when their children ask them what … [Read more...]
