Roses in Bahrain

May 3, 2012 By 43 Comments

Welcome to Happy Hour at Reed My Writing. My name is J.R. and this is my place. Thursday is my day off and I’m bringing in some great guest bartenders to run the place in my absence. Each month there is a new theme and I let the bartender concoct their signature “drink” to serve you, my wonderful guests.

I only have two rules here. Fun is to be had by all and please don’t urinate in the parking lot. I’m speaking to the ladies as well as the dudes.

Today’s guest bartender is Leanne Shirtliffe, A.K.A. Ironic Mom, who reminds everyone, “If you can’t laugh at yourself, laugh at your kids.”

The Grand Re-Opening

April 2, 2012 By 6 Comments

Don’t get in line with 25 and pretend you can’t count…       The phrase “GRAND RE-OPENING” has always bothered me.  A local grocery store currently has a sign out front announcing theirs and every time I pull into the parking lot I ask myself, “How can it be a re-opening if they never [...]

Mr. Whipple would not approve

March 28, 2012 By 2 Comments

Would that be considered third base or was the guy trying to steal home?   On Tuesday my brother and I were at work when our friend Sean rolled in to see if we wanted to head over to Costco for a cheap lunch.  My brother said yes right away and I figured I would [...]

Elway, Manning, Tebow and why God hates me

March 20, 2012 By 1 Comment

 He’s the kind of guy that you hate with a passion, until he comes to your team.   I’m a Raider fan and make no apologies for that.  I’ve loved the Raiders since I was a kid and I will  until the day I die.  I tell you this so you understand why I’m saying [...]

Stuff my mom forwarded me this week

March 16, 2012 By Leave a Comment

I was sitting at my desk the other day when I received an e-mail from my mom.  Then I got another.  And then one more.  All told I received three forwarded e-mails in a five minute period, which was actually a pretty slow day for her.  After deleting the e-mails without reading them I had [...]

Kicking a Star in his land down under

March 14, 2012 By Leave a Comment

The Dodgers are insane

February 27, 2012 By 2 Comments

  And in related news, rape victims are partially to blame.       First things first, I am NOT a Dodgers fan.  Nor am I a Giants fan.  I grew up watching the Angels and have long loved the Cubs.  This isn’t a story about baseball, but about ultra-wealthy greedy people who try to [...]
