I was forty or so when I learned how to pray. It was about that time that I got an actual answer to a prayer. Growing up, the nuns would tell us to pray. Say these words. Like an incantation. It'll give you an indulgence. It'll scare away the debbil. It'll spring some soul from … Continue reading Speaking with the Big Guy

I was going to fix that board in the fence door. But Winston likes to keep an eye on the driveway.
Again?
I headed out on the bike for my normal Monday ride at lunch. It was hot as hell. As I crossed the big intersection near my house, I was thinking, "Nah, I don't need a repair kit on the bike. I don't go far enough that I can't walk back. Maybe if I go off … Continue reading Again?

My good morning stare. Or should I say, get out of bed and feed me stare.
Odds & Ends

It's been a funny week, since I spend most of my day listening to news and podcasts while … Continue reading Odds & Ends

I think it cracked 190 because I've easily added 5 lbs of muscle in my shoulders and thighs. When I returned from vacation in … Continue reading Getting Fit
Check On Your People
Most of the cities around here have codes for upkeep of your property. Plano is especially tough, although I see a lot of crappy lawns around here. But as long as the grass isn't too high (you need grass for that) they appear to leave you alone. More often than not, a nosy neighbor complains. … Continue reading Check On Your People
Let the Games Begin
This is after a week of gaslighting, making Kamala Harris the bestest candidate evarrrr! We are told it was always thus, and the people loved her. Sure. Remember this? https://youtu.be/WabvabWvv8k?si=HZOfLP8F8Kbr4mZX An epic throat slit shanking on live TV. You see, Harris' specialty was locking up soul brothers for weed, keeping them in prison longer than … Continue reading Let the Games Begin

Winston loves nothing more than dozing in the sun after breakfast.
