My name is Chris Harley and I’m here to tell you about my uncle Hank and how this blog came to be. My uncle Hank is a good guy really, but he has some issues like we all do, and one of his problems is anger management. Last June a guy with a broken foot was very rude to him, so Hank took the guys crutch away and whipped his ass with it. Beat his ass with his own crutch. Anyway…
This wasn’t the first time that Hank’s been in trouble, so the judge ordered a psychiatric evaluation or he had to go to jail. He went to the shrink who told him he had to start getting in touch with his life better or something, and the doc said that writing about his life experiences might be a good way to get out some of his anger. Actually he required it. Part of the treatment. Uncle Hank was complaining about it when I came up with the idea of making him a blog.
Uncle Hank is such a funny character that I figured other people might want to read about it too, so I set him up with this blog and my old laptop that I don’t use anymore. All he has to do is click on a link in the browser and he has a square to enter text into. He hits “publish” and the blog entry is created. He doesn’t know much about the internet, but he’s a real smart guy, and I edit some of his stuff after he puts it up if there are any typos or ridiculously inappropriate words. It ends up being some really funny adult humor along with a great way to get to know my grandpa a lot better.
Now Dr. Soldheim can read what he writes and seems to be leaving him alone, and I get to share this incredibly unique (and cranky) human being with the world. You will occasionally notice affiliate links or ads on the site, those are to help pay for Hank’s fines and restitution, and fix the things he breaks. And Hank Harley does break a lot of stuff. He’s like the Motley Crue of grumpy old men, trashing things everywhere he goes when he’s in a bad mood or drinking.
Please don’t judge my uncle too harshly, he’s from another era, he’s not quite right in the head, and he’s hell bent on enjoying his retirement.
