Take a look at this. Whad'der yer suppose it is? Coffee Bean? Nope. Rock? Nope. Seed? Nope. Maybe some size comparison? That there is a grade A, 100% locally made, organic Kidney Stone. Came out by surprise this morning. It happens. I must have decent pipes in the manly hydraulics. I only feel them a … Continue reading What Could it Be?

Adding Another Secret
I find myself referring to Adam Piggott quite a bit. He's got a lot going on with his site. Last week he had a piece about how to save your marriage. I have a few thoughts about that. The secret is having kids. Then again, we are devout Catholics, Herself and I, with kids. And … Continue reading Adding Another Secret
Getting Fit
I found a piece on PJMedia about the 'Lizzofication of America'. It's behind a paywall, dontcha know. However, its starts out with some words about how the largest among us suffer when traveling. Did you know that the seats and toilets on a plane aren't fat friendly? Who knew. No mention about how others suffer … Continue reading Getting Fit
Random Thoughts
For all youtube's algorithms, how is it most of the time I tune into car fixing channels they play depends commercials featuring you-go-gurl old women out to party (After donning diapers)?. Speaking of algorithms, I've gotten pelted a couple times with banners for an over 50s dating site. How do they know? It was really … Continue reading Random Thoughts
Finding Friends
There's a weird phenomenon that I've encountered a number of times in my life. First time it hit me was when I was laid off back in 2003. Some of my friends were great, eager to help, even if it was just to get me out of the house for a few hours. I remember … Continue reading Finding Friends
Sad Sounds in the Wild.
Some of the saddest noises I heard last week. A reasonably modern (>10 years) Acura RDX with a valves pinging and rattling like a 1980 Ford Fairmont with a 100K on the clock. No Toyota I've ever owned has made that noise. An F-150 with 45 day, new car tags, puttering past with the sad … Continue reading Sad Sounds in the Wild.
Odds & Ends
Busy week this week. We also had a bit of a thunderstorm. Which meant Aria was trying to crawl as deep under my desk as she could. She gave up and settled for next to my chair. The rain, while nice, isn't going to save my gardens. I've pretty much started stripping them of the … Continue reading Odds & Ends
She’s so different
Now that all there is here is Aria, I've been spending more time with her alone, obviously. Her personality is so different than Jethro's. She's not anywhere near as protective as he was, unless you invade our space when we're walking. A friend came over, and she started barking. I told her to knock it … Continue reading She’s so different
A good day, tater
Good day today. Got a lot done. It was nice in that it was only 85 or so, and mostly cloudy. Best part was stepping on the scale. My empty weight [nekkid] clocked in at 229. I busted the barrier and lost 9 pounds since stopping alcohol. That's 46 pounds since last November. It also … Continue reading A good day, tater
A Word to the Fearful
Vox Day had a great piece about divorce the other day. Lot of good stuff there. You can only control your own behavior. No one else’s. If your wife is unhappy about the choice she made, if her children and friends and family and fun are her priorities and she wants out, then by all … Continue reading A Word to the Fearful
