Not me. I’m retired. So is Karen, so there are two less applicants to deal with. Actually, as the vaccination rate climbs, albeit slowly, “Now Hiring” signs are everywhere. The problem is nobody is applying for the jobs. Least not the individuals who are taking advantage of the system to NOT have to go backContinue reading “Going Back to Work”

Training Wheels
Back before we were cruising in our banana-seated, high-crossbar handlebars, on regular two-wheeled bicycles, even before you clamped playing cards to your spokes with laundry pins to make it sound like a motorcycle (at least that was the lofty aim). Even before you had a small replica of an adult bike, one that wasn’t foundContinue reading “Training Wheels”
Focus
Or lack of. Whichever your tendency. Perspective . If you lack focus on something, aren’t you really saying you are simply focused on something else? I’m starting to make sense to myself, so I know I am stoned. Speaking of which, I will be making a trip to the dispensary later this morning. The weatherContinue reading “Focus”
Is NOTHING Sacred?
Mondays I play a song. Here is an Eagles song. An unruly crowd. Out of control people desecrating an iconic place. Old Trafford, the holiest of places in English football. What the fuck is the matter with you? Who do you think you are, Americans? I much prefer soccer (football) hooligans to the destructive idiotsContinue reading “Is NOTHING Sacred?”
No win situation
I’ll get this rant out of the way now, because, quite frankly, this is like going up against Iron Mike Tyson in his prime, like no way you win. As a business model, the oligarchy of pharmaceutical companies projects to well over 500 billion dollars a year, and with the global pandemic, that number isContinue reading “No win situation”
There is Hope for us Yet
Guilty. Stay well.
What’s News?
Who do you trust for your news? In days gone by, you had paragons of integrity reporting the facts, without coloring or filtering it. Brinkley, Cronkite, Reasoner, Jennings, and you must insert Barbara Walters in that group. At least her earlier reporting before she started making mini-movies for 60 Minutes and then her own specials.Continue reading “What’s News?”
As Charged
I am terrible at trying to hide guilt. My blogpost The Great Recess Caper of 1961 is proof of that. I would love to be able to claim some sort of far-reaching conspiracy for the legal “issues” I have endured, but the truth of the matter is that I was a dumbass doing dumbass thingsContinue reading “As Charged”
Masks
We all wear masks; it just depends on what kind of mask. To fight this pandemic, we all need to be wearing protective masks until the virus is contained and eliminated. But what about the mask under the mask? I’m talking about the fake smile mask worn by disingenuous people. The wan smile frozen onContinue reading “Masks”
The End
The end is not near, it’s already here. We all have thoughts on how the world may end someday. Disease, war, pick your poison. There are so many movies depicting different ways the planet will be destroyed, and it seems like as many movies as there are, so are the different demises depicted. Flood, hurricanes,Continue reading “The End”
