    Question: Jake, I have this neighbor who has, I believe, a gay dog. Can dogs be gay? He squats when he pees, barks like a wussy, and is always needing attention. Is he gay or suffering from gender identity? Submitted by: Smokey Answer: Smokey, your question crosses into a subject that must be dealt with…

    Over the weekend, I was exposed to one of the most aggravatingly dumb things I have ever seen. It is a Parker Brother’s game called Gnip Gnop. No, the “G”s are not silent. Yes, it is ping pong spelled backwards. For only $20 you can own this game. It is made of flimsy plastic and…

    I fired up the pedals this morning and rode to work. I loved it. I have to say, for not having done it before, I feel like it went off pretty smooth. I guess that we will see if I still feel that way when I get home tonight. Anyway, there are a few things…

    It has been so fun having Piper so close to us again for these couple of weeks. It is going to be really tough to have her back in NJ. The good news is, the GJ tube does seem to have helped with the vomiting. Last night, they also had her on the portable vent,…

    I have been talking about wanting to get back on two wheels asap, since I sold bumble. Well, Reagan and I did not go out and buy a new pair of motos last weekend, but we were able to get the next best thing. The Truscotts hooked us up with some pedal bikes when we…

    Despite the partially cloudy weather, Friday and yesterday, we had a superbly good time celebrating independence day with our Boston homies. We arrived at their house late Thursday night, and of course, stayed up late laughing until our lats were sore. Friday we went to a pool party/ barbeque at one of their friends’ houses,…

    I was so happy when I was finally able to wrap things up at the office and jet up here to the hospital. From what I'm told, Piper weathered the ordeal with commendable form. I wasn't surprised. She has never been a complainer. When I arrived at her bedside, this is how I found her.…

    How do I have so much time to write, you ask? Because I’m sitting around waiting for a bloody wire to hit so that I can make traxxxxxx out o’ here. To the point; I read a semi-intriguing article on the train today. It was in this month’s Esquire by A.J. Jacobs. The article is…

    Days like today, I feel like pretty much the worst father that ever existed. Of course the day that Piper is finally actually getting the GJ tube installed, is the very same morning that I have a very difficult transaction occurring at work. Reagan and I were both able to be there with Piper this…

    I boarded the A at 168th today, since I was leaving from the hospital, instead of home. As a result, there were already more people on the train, than when I normally get on. There was, however, one seat between a kind of nerdy looking guy and a big dude. They were both sitting there…
