Damn near forgot

Today was my mom's birthday. She was a great lady. Her dad dying when she was three, her mom at ten, she grew up poor and worked her way up to being an RN, when she met my dad. She ruled the roost. If our family was a corporation, she was the CFO/COO. She was … Continue reading Damn near forgot →

Happy Veteran’s Day

Turns out, I have the day off today. Who knew? I found out on a conference call, which caused me to check the HR site. So I spent the morning at the school with my brother Knights serving breakfast the veterans that showed up to talk to the kids. This consisted of standing around looking … Continue reading Happy Veteran’s Day →

Generator Go BRRRRRR…

Saw this on Zero Hedge... Back in the day, I worked as a Network Engineer at a Medical Lab. They had not one, but two generators big as a locomotive. Bigger than the one here. And, two exhaust stacks - 12" pipe, up the side of the building and above the roof. In the summer, … Continue reading Generator Go BRRRRRR… →

Sunday Music

In my opinion, there are few bands better live than the old Little Feat. Waiting for Columbus is a seminal album, recorded at the Bayou in DC. K Street in georgetown to be precise. My old stomping grounds. Download the whole thing. But the two mental patient cuts - those you play over and over, … Continue reading Sunday Music →

Happy Father’s Day

Not as big a deal as Mother's Day. I myself would be content to lay about all day and simply have someone to cook other than me. However, around this time I think of my own Dad. He was born in 1929, a few days before Black Monday. Although he lived through the depression, it … Continue reading Happy Father’s Day →

Last of a Dying Breed

Just when you think it can't get more stupid, something comes along to give you that sense of despair that, yup...it can always get worse. Phil at Busted Knuckles had a great piece the other day about a days worth of encounters where people just couldn't fix stuff and didn't even think to try. Worst … Continue reading Last of a Dying Breed →

Superbowl of Suck

I'm not a sportsball fan. I can watch it. I understand it. I can talk about it. It's just not something that I care to invest any time or emotion whatsoever. I do watch the playoffs and superbowl, but in general, I have far better things to do with my time than gawp at the … Continue reading Superbowl of Suck →

Sunday Sermon

This is a sermon by an orthodox Abbot, Fr. Tryphon. I've never heard a Catholic priest speak with such clarity. At least not in the last 20 years or so. Probably longer. I find myself reading Orthodox literature more and more, especially writings from Seraphim Rose. I'm re-reading a few as I write and will … Continue reading Sunday Sermon →

Newtons Laws of HR

He moved up the ladder over the past 22 years.A newly hired employee was prone to … Continue reading Newtons Laws of HR →

Don’t Grow Old

Sometime ago, the grandkids were over. I was chatting with the son-in-law as one of the boys blasted around the corner, faceplanted, got up, shook it off, and continued wherever he was going. I looked at the scene and said, "You know, that's something I can't do anymore either". Getting old really sucks. Little dude. … Continue reading Don’t Grow Old →
