Random Thoughts

Now that I stopped drinking, I don’t sit at my desk, buzzed, listening to tunes, thinking big thoughts and blogging them. Is that a problem?

For the foreseeable future:

Shoot me.

As I’ve posted before, after the dust settles here, I was thinking of moving to Paris, TX. Lot’s of nice properties up there cheap. Turns out, there’s a reason:

Yeah. Well, I guess I can save a road trip. It’s not just location, location, and location with real estate, it’s demographics, demographics, demographics. I can get the same sort of thing in Dallas City, to be honest. That said, Bonham and Greenville look more promising. As does westward, like Fort Worth. Other than top notch medical services, there isn’t any compelling reason to stay here.

I don’t drink wine any longer. But I do like to say the word C*nt more than I used to.

Speaking of which, I was packing books in my office and came across a copy of the Catholic Catechism. So, I hit the pages on divorce. Interestingly, this one was a bit more fleshed out than the web version I read. Turns out that when a spouse abandons the marriage, the abandoned spouse (moi) is held blameless. So the good Deacon that I posted about was wrong. Not only is it perfectly fine I date, I can get married. Just not in a Catholic ceremony. Huh.

I am, of course, the master blaster of hurty nicknames. I’ve driven people crazy trying to figure out who called them that name. I don’t think I’ve ever had a coworker rat me out. There’s an older friend I have that recently was married. The wife is always there. Always watching. I’ve named her ‘Yoko’. So that’s now her name among our circle of friends. That said, Herself has a new one that’ll debut, probably when all is signed off. It’s hilarious.

I haven’t been following the Hunter Biden saga. He’s a bum. The fact he’s loose, and tangled with the courts says a lot. There’s a power struggle going on. I think LawDog wrote about it some time ago. Forgot where I read it. They know they have to loose Joey IceCreamCone on the ice flow or they’ll get curb stomped come election time. I don’t think they can cheat their way out of this. Too many people hate him. And Cackles the VP isn’t on the most favored replacement list because she’s in a different camp. Remember, she was a concession to the Clintonistas.

Mitch McConnell vapor locked on screen. The gerontocracy is nothing if not entertaining to watch. Scary they are running the show, though.

I was at the endocrinologist this week. Got to see the great man for a second visit. When it comes to hormones, I prefer male doctors. First off, the phlebotomist hit my vein on the first stick. That never, ever happens. Not there. Then, all my numbers look good. And why wouldn’t they? I weighed in at 225. That’s 50 lbs lighter. Running, and my workouts are getting better and better results. I have a really cool definition thing going on with my shoulders and chest. I bought a new pair of pants in my old size, and they fell off me. So I went down one size. Didn’t fall off, but came close. I think I dropped two sizes!

Best yet, as I opened the garage, and geared up to run, I detected an endorphin rush. My body was getting jacked to go run after two miles walking Aria. That’s where I’ve worked to get back to for years.
