It's been a week since I brought Jasper to his new home. I've had some texts back and forth with the new owners, as they learn about Jasper and he learns about them. Pretty typical stuff. When you think about it, he hasn't been away from us or the other dogs for any time in … Continue reading Jasper Gets a New Home →

Back in the day, back when my kids were way young, I'd go shooting with my friends nearly every weekend. Typically we'd go to the shooting center at Manassas Battlefield park, because it was fairly close and super cheap. We'd shoot skeet and sporting clays. We'd also go to other sites.

It's officially hot as hell. And the fellas are out in front, rebuilding the street. I can tell you, playing with concrete in 100 degree Texas heat isn't on my bucket list. God Bless'em. They cut off half the street, the northbound half, and started tearing it to pieces. Yet, all day long I'll see … Continue reading Miscellaneous Crapola →

The doctor says that the man needs to provide a sperm sample and gives him a jar saying, “Take this jar … Continue reading Friday Funnies →

I think the line okay groomer is probably the funniest thing I've heard this year so far. And it's totally appropriate. I do a lot of volunteer work, and that means that I have to take safe environment training every year. It only takes about 20 minutes online to renew and some of the courses … Continue reading OK Groomer… →

I thought I'd take a break from funnies and do a song this week. Being a guitar player, Mark Knopfler is my hero. Not only does he play in a league that no one exists, he writes songs that actually have some sort of meaning. To Wit: https://youtu.be/Y1gXPD2ruQU Amazing. [Verse 1]Yon's my privateerSee how trim … Continue reading Friday Song of the Week →
