...is covered in dog hair. Last Sunday, I had time on my hands, and that meant time to clean the inside of the monster truck. It was bad. Pretty bad. I was dreading this. That's probably why it's gotten like it was. Still, that's what shop vacs are for. This was the first time I've … Continue reading Everything I own…
A walk in the park
I've been out of town for three weekends in a row. This is the first weekend in nearly a month that I've been home. It's also the first in over two years that I haven't been with the Girl. I found myself with time on my hands. I got back from DC Thursday, and had … Continue reading A walk in the park

What a life.
Back to the Motherland 3
The last day there, I piled into the car with my three older sisters and headed to Culpeper to meet another sister and one of my brothers. Culpeper is a cute town and pretty much just outside the DC area weirdness. It is, however, a far exurb. My brother in law would drive from there … Continue reading Back to the Motherland 3

I left Saturday morning, getting a Uber to DFW. That’s the way to go, since there’s a lot of construction at the airport. … Continue reading Back to the Motherland 1

He’s just a lib from Chicago
Turns out Pope Leo is squabbling with Orangeman about immigration: White House border czar Tom Homan stepped into the growing tension between the Trump administration and the Vatican on Tuesday, delivering a response so raw and grounded in lived experience that it's nearly impossible to argue with. A lifelong Catholic himself, Homan didn't attack the … Continue reading He’s just a lib from Chicago
A long trip. A blast to Reynosa and back
Rough weekend that I'm glad is over. Long story short, I had to help move the Girl back to Reynosa. She lost her job in January and hasn't had much luck landing a new one. Her best prospects are out of state. I had a coworker at Lucent that was a native down here that … Continue reading A long trip. A blast to Reynosa and back

Winston in his happy spot. The sitter took this. Hence, he's in his room, not in the hallway watching.
