Thanks for reading! In the Present Tense is a blog by Kevin Marshall. Sometimes it will be updated every day at 10:00am, and sometimes two or three additional posts a day will be submitted. Sometimes, though, no post at all will be posted for that day. Some weeks you will only get a post every other day, some weeks there will be no posts at all. This blog is about being a man, except when it’s about dating, and sometimes about pop culture and local news items.

Love it. I’d like to work those hours!
Those are my kind of hours!
My favorite is the sign on the laundremat around the corner. It says “We’re open ‘7AM-Midnight'” and it actually has quotey marks around the business hours. I can picture someone doing the quotey fingers as they say it, too. I really don’t know how to read that.
Are they citing another source? Like…did their manager once say “7AM-midnight” and they had to cover their asses just in case they couldn’t make good on his promise? Like “Yeah, Phil sez ‘7AM-Midnight,’ but you know Phil. That’s just Phil being Phil.”
Or perhaps they meant it in a sarcastic/ironic/winking kind of way? Like “Yeah, we SAY ‘7AM to midnight,’ but let me tell you, there’s a lot of action going on behind these doors past midnight. Especially in the back room. Holler. THIS guy knows what I’m talking about, right, bro?”
Only in Troy…that is great!
I didn’t know the Governor had an office in Troy.
Steve, That comment just made my day. :) Too funny!
Those sound like my blogging hours these days!
That sounds like my kind of work schedule…. Though I like noon to 3AMish better….
