Who Ya Gonna Believe?

That venerable French museum The Louvre is raising its admission price by 45%. To go packed like sardines and look at old stuff. Don’t get me wrong; I love museums and I have been fortunate enough to visit several of the world’s greatest. But what can they be escalating prices for? Are they adding moreContinue reading “Who Ya Gonna Believe?”

If  Not When…

The article started by saying what Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce had to say about the movie Home Alone. Quite frankly, I could give two shits what he has to say about anything other than why the Chiefs will be watching the playoffs on TV instead of defending their AFC Championship. I wouldContinue reading “If  Not When…”

Closing Time

Not only an ass-kicking song by Semisonic, but an always-approaching time for us all. The end game. Departure. So why do we waste so much of the precious time we have been allotted on useless horseshit like hatred and fear? And supposedly, we are the most intelligent life form on Earth. Maybe not. AI foundContinue reading “Closing Time”

Why Is It?

The Domestic Despot was telling me about the phenomenon known as “gray divorce.” Now, I have been pissed, mad, and frustrated numerous times in my thirty-eight years of knowing this woman, but I never once thought of the “D” word. Truth be told, I never even thought of the “M” word. Lightning bolt. Seriously. NeverContinue reading “Why Is It?”
