Why I Don’t Tell You Anything

I'm not a comic person, but I get a kick out of Hypergamouse. It's a play on the SSH illustrated by Lacy Fairchild. There are mices of every type - Alpha, Bravo, Delta, Gamma... Vox Day has been posting them on Saturdays with commentary. Last week or so was a great one. It's the buildup … Continue reading Why I Don’t Tell You Anything →

A Day of Infamy

It was two years ago, I had to put Jethro down. It was a dark, dark day that went well into the night, roughly two weeks after having my soul curb-stomped. It was the first time I found myself on the floor weeping. I didn't do that when the old lady left a few weeks … Continue reading A Day of Infamy →

Singing the Narrative

U2 lead singer Bono was on Rogan the other day spouting nonsense. It's been all over the place, and what he was saying was bullshit, clear and simple. I'm about halfway through the interview, but I'm finding it tedious. But I did hear the part where he claimed 300K have died because USAID was cut, … Continue reading Singing the Narrative →

Dressing for Success

No idea why, but I'm getting a lot of 'How to get the gurlz' for older guys in my YouTube feed. Do they know something I don't? This one was interesting, but I don't agree with some of it: https://youtu.be/eQPZ16yqIGw For guys over 40. That's me, for sure. Let's fisk this list: No Baggy Faded … Continue reading Dressing for Success →

Two Years

Can't believe I missed this date. The real day was May 22 or so. It's been just over two years that I've been sober. The previous Sunday, the wife bugged out, having already petitioned for a divorce. Monday, I went and saw a priest. Tuesday at noon, I went to my first AA meeting. I … Continue reading Two Years →

Who is Aergia?

In Greek mythology, Aergia is the personification of sloth, idleness, indolence and laziness. I was looking to see if there were a god of procrastination. Must be me. Not long after I bought the truck (I've owned it two years), it would have periods where it wouldn't crank. I'd have to jam the shifter deeper … Continue reading Who is Aergia? →

Getting Fit

It's been a good month for working out. I increased my lift weight all around. But also twinged my back. Not bad. Just sore. I wasn't minding my form a few weeks ago and instead of giving things a break, I kept going. I figured I'd have a week off PTO, why not rest up … Continue reading Getting Fit →

A fine week for vacation

I took the week off. Maximize PTO by using a week with a holiday. Great idea. Get a load of this: Maybe I get to do something cool like kayaking, or a hot rod bike trip Friday. It's grumbling thunder as I type this. Aria is curled up in my closet. Every time it cleared … Continue reading A fine week for vacation →

And So It Begins

Every year about this time it happens. After a week of high temps, then a week of nice weather, the furnace comes on. I wrote about this earlier. There’s that one day when walking the dogs that you realize that hiking boots were a bad idea. So you switch out to running shoes. Then there’s … Continue reading And So It Begins →
