There was a funny jingle, in the doo wop style, that one of the DJs where I grew up that went something like this: Saturday (Saturday Night!) I said Saturday (Saturday Night!) Saturday night is partying time! Saturday night is partying time! I'm like that, only with Fridays. Fridays are my favorite day of the … Continue reading Friday Night is Partying Time

Resolutions?
It was an interesting New Years. One of the things you'll notice during some holidays in Texas is a certain amount of happy fire. In Plano, that sound would be far off. You'd hear a distinct series of reports, all clipped, in an evenly spaced 6, 7, or 15 pattern. Clearly not firecrackers. So you'd … Continue reading Resolutions?
A New Beginning
Happy New Year! This is a new beginning for me. Got a new pace in a new town. I've already started meeting people. Meeting new friends has never been hard for me. Living down here has made my life way easier. I have some things to wrap up in Plano, but they're easy. I have … Continue reading A New Beginning
Merry Christmas
It’s been a quiet week. I spent most of Christmas Eve in a gut test. They are still trying to figure out what’s up with my plumbing. I’m guessing the answer will be that I’m old. I’ll be spending the day with the Girl and my pups. Hope you and yours have a happy and … Continue reading Merry Christmas
Getting Settled
It was a long weekend, and a busy week. I hadn't planned on having to clean the old house, but that's what needed to be done to get my security deposit back Sunday. Slumlord is holding the pet deposit based on final cleaning (meaning all the crap I stuffed in the garage.) Most of it … Continue reading Getting Settled
Refugee Moving
The best-laid schemes of mice and men. I'm readying to move. Got the new house. Packing up the old house. I rented the new place a month in advance so I wouldn't have to refugee move. I said that on a call this week and one of my coworkers asked what a refugee move was. … Continue reading Refugee Moving
Happy Thanksgiving!
Won't be happening for me, except maybe if Granny isn't in the picture. It's going to be a busy day for me. Dog walking, running, I need to hit mass. I have a ribeye roast to prep. No one at dinner is a huge fan of turkey, so why suffer? I also spent way too … Continue reading Happy Thanksgiving!
Allred’s a Punk
Collin Allred is running against Ted Cruz for senate this year. I didn't watch the debate this week because I have no intention of voting for Allred, although I did hear clips on the radio box this morning. Allred is a magic negro along the lines of Barack Obama. In Grampa Joe's own words - … Continue reading Allred’s a Punk
Big Whiskey, TX
Whelp...The big news this week is that you can't be packing at the Great State Fair of Texas this year. Just like in the movie "Unforgiven". Wonder if Gene Hackman will be at the gates checking for iron. Judge Emily Whatzernuts decreed so by dumping an injunction AG Paxton sought. A Dallas judge says the … Continue reading Big Whiskey, TX
Glorious
Fall ushered in early in DFW with rain last week, followed by a cold front, roughly 2-3 weeks before usual. It was spectacular all weekend and well into today. 60s in the morning, maybe 85 to 90 end of day, with zero humidity. The dogs were high energy today on our walk. They are cold … Continue reading Glorious
