I’ll Give it to You Straight

Like always. The news about the imminent war between Russia and the Ukraine doesn’t change. All they do is add another “very” in front of the word “imminent” to get the current political climate in the area. I think at last look, it (war) was very, very, very imminent. Shit or get off the pot.Continue reading “I’ll Give it to You Straight”

Rankings

We have to rank everything. Search best restaurants near me. I saw an article ranking countries so of course, I am a sucker and clicked on the picture. In this particular poll, their Top Five consisted of Canada, Japan, USA, Germany, and Switzerland. I have been to all five and my ranking of them wouldContinue reading “Rankings”

Changing of the Guard

I think Father Time is finally gaining ground on me. Karen will tell you it happened long ago. Cold. It seems like just a couple years ago there was a new kid on the NFL stage. He was Patrick Mahomes from the Kansas City Chiefs and he was fire in a league that loves theirContinue reading “Changing of the Guard”

Art Imitates Life

They finally did it. It feels like years since the Law and Order episode that showed the gun makers get sued. Except they won. They always won. They enjoyed the same kind of horseshit immunity from prosecution that cigarette makers did. Zoom forward to 2022. To recount the mass shootings in the world is toContinue reading “Art Imitates Life”

Super Sunday

One of my fondest memories from living in England was staying for six months in a very old English manor house in Oxford when we first arrived. When you are in a military family, it was the moving that got to you after a while. Girlfriends, schools, countries; always changing. So when we arrived inContinue reading “Super Sunday”

Go You Reds!

I can’t help it. The one sports team that I will follow as often as I am able is the Manchester United Football Club. Ever since I watched Georgie Best, the mercurial striker for United beat Geoff Hurst and West Ham in 1967, I have been a loyal maniac for the lads whenever and whereverContinue reading “Go You Reds!”

Never a Good Thing

When the President tells Americans to leave a country, in this case Ukraine. It is not a small country, and with no one’s help, I think there are plenty of countries that could kick their ass, but JoJo seems to want to get his hands into everything before he finishes his one term in office.Continue reading “Never a Good Thing”

Scary

They say the International Space Station will fall from orbit soon. I know all the stories of how there are thousands of satellites falling out of the sky and how they burn up and do not make it to Earth. But what if?… Good news. People are actually starting to go back to work inContinue reading “Scary”

Open Mic Night

You are going to have to take my word for it, because I left my phone in the Highlander (“You will always be weaker than I, Highlander!”) and I didn’t get ADOGG to video me. It was at a brewpub in Cincinnati called Fretboards. The cool thing about this place is they only want youContinue reading “Open Mic Night”

Observations on a Snowy Day

I really don’t care for TV shows that take you (literally) into the guts of the matter, showing the most intimate medical details of various medical procedures. Quite frankly, if I wanted to get this close to the action, I would have gone to med school. Feel free to pan away to the furrowed browContinue reading “Observations on a Snowy Day”
