Usually, I take the whole Christmas week off. This year, I'm taking the week after. I have little to do before, these days. Hell, it wasn't until last weekend that my kids had any sort of gameplan going. Until I met the Girl, I spent Christmas eve alone more often than not. That started before … Continue reading Merry Christmas
Getting Fit
I had a brace of doctor appointments in the last two weeks. Actually, those and a test. This is normal stuff for me. Being an older gentleman, I have an entourage of doctors that typically alternate on six month schedules. I see the endocrinologist and gut doctor in June/July. I see the cardiologist and the … Continue reading Getting Fit

What the hell?
Homey showed up with this the other day: No idea how he did that or whether it just showed up. Seemed to do it overnight. Initially, it was weeping blood. Seems like it's scabbed over, and looking callous like. Lovely. Another vet visit that'll hoover out my wallet.

I've only had a zoom meeting with her. FWIW, I was supposed to meet them live, but the invite that I got was zoom. … Continue reading It’s a bubble
O Goody!
Our own local village idiot, Jasmine Crockett is running for the senate. That'll be fun. I think she's doing this because the supreme court blessed the Texas redistricting plan, and she's out of a job, if memory serves. I think there are three up for the Republican side; the incumbent John Cornyn, Ken Paxton, and … Continue reading O Goody!

My iPhone offered this as a wallpaper: Black and White really makes you focus on the detail. It was a cool image in color. In B&W I find it stunning.
Puttering
It's been tough getting back to work this week. I've had little time for farting around. I don't use Facebook for much. Mostly, I use it to keep track of my friends that post there, monitor a few feeds of things I find interesting, and post funny memes I've harvested from my surfing. I posted … Continue reading Puttering
