Even though my maths showed another car wasn't a thing that would pay off, really, I've still been window shopping. I found a few cars that I really liked and would be cool to own, such as a 2011 VW Passat TDI. I found one with decent mileage that I could probably swing for cash, … Continue reading Dang it!

Aria doesn't like thunder storms. At night, she'll be in my bed, next to me. Sometimes she'll hide in the closet. Otherwise, if I'm in the office, she's at my feet.
It’s a bubble
I went to a Christmas party held by my retirement investment company. Why not? I got nothing better to do. Besides, I needed to meet my new adviser in real life. I've only had a zoom meeting with her. FWIW, I was supposed to meet them live, but the invite that I got was zoom. … Continue reading It’s a bubble
O Goody!
Our own local village idiot, Jasmine Crockett is running for the senate. That'll be fun. I think she's doing this because the supreme court blessed the Texas redistricting plan, and she's out of a job, if memory serves. I think there are three up for the Republican side; the incumbent John Cornyn, Ken Paxton, and … Continue reading O Goody!

My iPhone offered this as a wallpaper: Black and White really makes you focus on the detail. It was a cool image in color. In B&W I find it stunning.
Puttering
It's been tough getting back to work this week. I've had little time for farting around. I don't use Facebook for much.

I posted … Continue reading Puttering
Getting Fit
Another month's gone by. My weight is remarkably stable, deviating only a few pounds either way, and it's been like that for months. I've been better about my diet, but not as much as I should've. I've added creatine supplements to my other vitamin load. The change has been subtle, but I've noticed my weightlifting … Continue reading Getting Fit

On Getting Old
Found this on Irish's place awhile back, thought I wrote about it, but I didn't. And here’s the kicker aging hits men differently than women, and it’s almost always framed negatively. Women get “wine nights,” “self-care Sundays,” and “50 & Fabulous.” We men on the other hand hit 40 and it’s dad-bod jokes, hairline memes, … Continue reading On Getting Old
Happy Thanksgiving!
It’s going to be a busy day. By the time this hits the interwebs, I'll be running in a 5K in Grand Prairie, my first. After that I need to get back, walk the dogs, and start cooking. I have a friend coming over, along with the girl. I have a lot to be thankful … Continue reading Happy Thanksgiving!
