Texas doesn't have four clearly designed seasons. It has 12: We had a blast of nice warm days. It was glorious. I started my skin toughening routine: I sit out 15 minutes front, 15 minutes back every day to get a base tan. Why? So when it's intense, I don't wind up with sunburns when … Continue reading A New Season
New space
Not long after I started working at home (2005) I bought a cheap "L" shaped desk at Office Depot. I've had that desk through 4 moves and 20 years. In the new place, it was replaced by a far nicer desk. So it sat in the other corner as sort of a project space. More … Continue reading New space
Gratuitous Dog Pic
When he's not in my office, this is Winston's spot, right in the doorway to my office. He's pointing this way because I went to the kitchen. Usually, he's laying there a little more forward, watching me and out the window in the spare room.
Hey…Smell this will’ya?
Dinner last night. Probably still good, huh? FWIW, it was nearly frozen when I bought it. I stuffed it in my deep freeze and there it sat, since probably June last year. It was fine. Smelled fine. Better than some I've bought fresh. I made tacos with it. That bowl at the top has mushroom … Continue reading Hey…Smell this will’ya?
Well…Duh!
Man tossed of a Frontier flight for being rude. https://youtube.com/shorts/3_nT4LQgjcI?si=oJhXUe5N47egHcgy A flower in the garden of stupid. He most certainly was. I heard this on an Adam Carolla podast. He didn't say "get out of my way" to the flight attendant, according to them. He glared at the fight attendant and said "MOVE". He's an … Continue reading Well…Duh!
Happy St. Paddy’s Day
St. Patrick was a 5th-century Romano-British Christian missionary and bishop in Ireland, widely recognized as the "Apostle of Ireland" and the primary patron saint of the country. Born in Roman Britain (likely in what is now England, Scotland, or Wales), he was captured at age 16 by Irish raiders and enslaved in Ireland for six … Continue reading Happy St. Paddy’s Day
Spring is springing
Sort of. Last week was stunning. Cool mornings, afternoons in the 80s, sunny. I captured some of it: The red rose is outside my office window. It didn't last. By Sunday, a cold front moved in and by Monday morning, it was frigid. Monday stayed in the high 40s. Psychotic North Texas Spring is all … Continue reading Spring is springing

Don’t know what to think
Don't know what to think about this Iran shitshow. The one thing I'm certain of is we're being lied to from both parties here. I'm not as rah-rah as many. Why? Netanyahu has been crowing that Iran is weeks away from an A-bomb for 25 years or so. Why is now any different? After the … Continue reading Don’t know what to think
Getting Fit
I've been getting a lot of "Exercises for Old Men" videos in my YouTube feed, most with Kettle Bells. I was listening to a Rogan podcast the other day where he said those are his main type of workout. I don't have kettle bells. I have dumbbells. Kettle Bells are not inexpensive. Still, it seemed … Continue reading Getting Fit
