It's been a super busy week. Didn't think I'd get this done. Jokes shamelessly poached from Business Insider. A young boy enters a barber shop and the barber whispers to his customer, "This is the dumbest kid in the world. Watch while I prove it to you."The barber puts a dollar bill in one hand and … Continue reading Friday Funnies

Sunday Sermon
This is a sermon by an orthodox Abbot, Fr. Tryphon. I've never heard a Catholic priest speak with such clarity. At least not in the last 20 years or so. Probably longer. I find myself reading Orthodox literature more and more, especially writings from Seraphim Rose. I'm re-reading a few as I write and will … Continue reading Sunday Sermon
Geezer Power!
https://youtu.be/Br2tA52YzAw Awesome! I never get tired of these old rocker dudes that can still handle business. I'm not a virtuoso guitarist or bassist. But I can play. And I play well. And playing live is a drug. There's nothing like making that much noise. I still miss my Gretsch or Telecaster singing, or my Carvin … Continue reading Geezer Power!
A Snowy Day
I work at home. What do I care if it snows? I prepared for this. I said as much. This freeze spell wasn't as bad as last year, by far. Hell, it's already melting as I speak, like it does in DFW after a freeze. Thursday morning hit, and we were encased in ice. It … Continue reading A Snowy Day
Covid Silliness
We have a corporate Yammer site. For those that don't have the pleasure, it's like a facebook for internal corporate employees. There are pages for pets, cooking, careers, and each department has a page, usually. I don't spend much time on it. I'll post dog pics. Sometimes a recipe. Just trying to fit in here. … Continue reading Covid Silliness

Shamelessly poached from Ranker.com: So the Pope is SUPER early for his flight.He asks his driver on his way to the airport if he could drive around for a while because they have time to kill and he hasn't driven a car since becoming the pope.Naturally, he's a bit rusty, so he's driving poorly, when … Continue reading Friday Funnies
The Stupid…It Burns
This month is black history month. I plum forgot. Then again, I guess I would. Right on queue, we have another fresh attempt to ban all books containing hurty words found on school reading lists. "To Kill a Mockingbird" was the one I heard about this morning. Apparently killing this book is a perpetual effort. … Continue reading The Stupid…It Burns
Tough Times A ‘Comin’..
Us humans have trouble with long cycles and thinking abstractly. We often miss things because our attention span doesn't hold long enough, or we don't have the ability to retain 'dot' we've seen and then connect them later. Things that are happening now have a huge impact on what life will be like by the … Continue reading Tough Times A ‘Comin’..
Wintry Mix
Well they are calling for a "wintry mix" tonight. Tomorrow, we'll wake up to ice and frigid temps. Nearly to the week when it happened last year. Only we're supposed to only get a few days, then back to regular winter here in DFW. I came from up north over 20 years ago, but I'm … Continue reading Wintry Mix
Tales from Captivity
Got an early copy of "Tales from Captivity" to do a final proof and review (that I promised), blew through 3/4 in the first night, made notes, then promptly was overcome by events and forgot about it until it came out. Doing the lords work, I am. I guess. This is a collection of short … Continue reading Tales from Captivity
