OK Boomer…

What is it about old dudes that makes them think that everybody's interested in what they have to say? And can positively not whisper, even if they thought to not just blurt out stuff. I belong to a number of clubs and charitable organizations. Lot of these have old guys. Hell, I'm an old guy. … Continue reading OK Boomer… →

I’m too old for this.

Last Friday we had a company-wide day off, called a "day of reflection". For what I’m supposed to be reflecting on I don’t remember, but I reflected on finally installing the tile floor in our sunroom. It’s a project that’s been looming heavy for some time. I want to say I’ve had the tiles almost … Continue reading I’m too old for this. →

Friday Song of the Week

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 →

Don’t Answer the Door

Don't answer the door. Never answer the door. I have a cameras that enable me to not answer the door. What did I do? I answered the door. Just like this: https://vimeo.com/551250163 Except that guy left. This time, a dude rocked up and I ignored him. Then he came up with another dude a few … Continue reading Don’t Answer the Door →

I’m Calling BS

There is a story hitting the blogosphere last week about the 16-year-old kid being handed a paper with the rules on the first day of work. These rules: I'm calling BS. The story started on boredpanda.com and I'm guessing it was made up thing to get people squawking. This basically was an email chain thing … Continue reading I’m Calling BS →

Home Depot Steps in It

This is something that's been making the rounds all last week. I first heard about it while listening to the morning show here in DFW and simply shrugged my shoulders. Big corporate entities with have diversity finishes by and large. But I finally got my mitts on one, and it reads even dumber than it … Continue reading Home Depot Steps in It →

Friday Funnies

Jokes are light today. I found a few at Kickasshumor.com, but otherwise rummaged around in my meme scrap pile as usual. A man goes to the doctor with a long history of migraine headaches. When the doctor does his history and physical, he discovers that the poor guy has tried practically every therapy known to … Continue reading Friday Funnies →

The Fourth Turning (part 1)

I’ve started rereading the "Fourth Turning" by William Strauss and Neil Howe. I've already read it once, but it was more along the lines me trying to find out what’s going on now, as opposed to understanding the concept. I've pretty much finished reviewing the first part again. A quick primer would be to stop … Continue reading The Fourth Turning (part 1) →

Care Package from the Motherland

Herself got a care package from the motherland... For those uninitiated, the US isn't a homogenous place. Hell, even Texas isn't. And there are some amazing foods from local regions such as Louisiana that you simply can't get here unless you order them. In this case, Herself's brother hooked us up yet again. Last time, … Continue reading Care Package from the Motherland →

Friday Funnies

I'm typing this up on Thursday evening, having had no idea it was St. Patrick's day. I'm second generation Irish, and we never did any of the silliness you see growing up. I don't think I had corned beef and cabbage until my daughters started competitive Irish Dance. I did finally waddle out and post … Continue reading Friday Funnies →
