Alright, let’s do it. Back on the horse. Typing into the void. For the historical record. It’s been a few weeks. Some of that was intentional. Some of that was…gestures wildly at everything. I kind of took the holidays off. Busy family time. Food. Noise. The good stuff. Then the new year rolled in and … More January 12, 2026 – Hi! Let’s Write a Blog Post
Fifteen more shopping days until Christmas – sixteen if you count Christmas Eve, which I do because it makes me feel like I have my life slightly more together and I actually love going out to the stores on Christmas Eve. My advice – because it is my blog, and therefore I grant myself full … More December 9 – Christmas Unplugged
We’re just murdering people. That’s my opinion. And yes, I know – a great way to start a cheerful little blog post. I actually thought about softening that opinion, maybe tossing a few pillows around it so nobody gets uncomfortable. But I can’t. I’m nowhere near an expert on military strategy or drug enforcement or… … More December 5 – Just Calling It What It Is
I joined Truth Social recently. Yep. It happened. I didn’t go there for the vibes, the discourse, or the memes. I went because an AI video of Trump flying a fighter jet and dropping…poop…on protesters made me question all my life choices. Basically, I didn’t want to fall into the trap of reacting to something … More Thursday – What Are We Even Doing? Take 467
I don’t have Trump Derangement Syndrome. Nope. Not me. I’ve diagnosed myself, and it’s not that. I don’t even have Moron Derangement Syndrome. (Honestly, I can handle moronic behavior – it’s practically a community pastime. I’m a moron at least twice a week.) So what do I have when it comes to President Trump? I … More Tuesday – “Quiet Piggy” and Other Presidential Etiquette Lessons
I’ve been thinking about healthcare a lot over the years, and with the government shutdown continuing, this time because of expiring subsidies of the Affordable Health Care Act (or at least that’s the excuse being used), I figured it’s time to finally write about it. Before that…some comments on the shutdown. I cannot believe that … More Saturday – A Rant on Healthcare (and the Shutdown)
I reached for my glasses this morning and wow… they were filthy. Smudged up, cloudy, just gross. I could barely see through them. It’s funny, I didn’t notice how bad they were until I actually looked through them. That’s how it goes, right? The smudges sneak up on you. One day everything looks fine, and … More Friday – A Few Swipes of a Shirt Tail
Almost every morning I wake up with a song in my head. Not every morning—but most. And I have absolutely no clue where they come from. My dreams? My subconscious? The ghost of Dick Clark? No idea. I do go to sleep listening to either rain noise, music by Sade or Teddy Afro (an Ethiopian … More Thursday – The Wake-Up Playlist You Never Asked For
I want to start off by saying that I am absolutely ignorant in the world of political analysis, which clearly makes me qualified to go on TV and offer opinions (right?). But I guess my amazingly perfect take will be limited to this blog. Oh well… While I was very pleased with most of the … More Wednesday – Ignorance of a Wanna-Be Pundit
Today is Election Day. An exciting day…at least I think so. I’m always touched, inspired, and honestly a little optimistic when I step up to the voting machine. It’s not quite as cool as the old-school setup where you’d pull a curtain shut behind you and flick those retro-looking switches (remember those? You felt like … More Tuesday – Election Day
