Running late this week. You'll see why in a minute. This is all that's wrong with North Dallas: New Mexico, this time. Always a blue state. Usually a luxury car. Always going -5 mph in the left lane. I tried to get some good ones for another shithead O' the week. All Day, every trip, … Continue reading Random Thoughts

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. … Continue reading Random Thoughts
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

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.
The Clouds are Lifting
Aria and I are learning to deal with loss. Each day gets better, each week even better than the last. It's taken awhile to process things. When my world detonated, the first place I went to was one of our priests. They are amazing men, and really helped. The second was AA. That was life … Continue reading The Clouds are Lifting
Memory Lane
As I catch up on even more bullshit writing tonight, I'm listening to iTunes. Brandenburg Concerto No.3 in G Major by Bach. Ahhhh....Bach! (An obscure reference! get it?) Total flashback.... I'm in my room back in my parents house. My sister left for college, and I have the small room - called the 'blue room' … Continue reading Memory Lane
Happy St. Paddy’s day
https://youtu.be/DXI4W1P7buQ And I have no wife to blame me, I've no chains upon my hands. I take my ease at what I please, 'Cause I'm a rambling man. Happy St. Patrick's day. Don't be fooled by the green beer. Irish don't drink that. Drink some Guinness instead. It's only 140 calories or so. They aren't … Continue reading Happy St. Paddy’s day
