I am very trustworthy. Now. I wasn’t always. In one of the most embarrassing moments of my high school years, I displayed untrustworthy behavior of the highest order. The high school elections for class officers were going to be held on Friday and I wasn’t even on the ballot. I was way too cool toContinue reading “Trust”

Bathing in a Different Country
Yesterday we looked at a quandary and today I will finish it up with the short-short story I wrote about the communal bathhouse in a tiny village in Japan. Querulous implies complaining, something I do, but mostly in private. My problem is that I’ve never given a shit about anything, so if I don’tContinue reading “Bathing in a Different Country”
Q is for Quandary
Which is where I am on several issues. Like watching the Middle East meltdown and laughing as that rascally rascal Putin keeps on pulling Jo-Jo’s strings while China outright threatens what will amount to Global Thermonuclear War. Sound familiar? It is the game that Matthew Broderick played against the WOPR computer in War Games. ExceptContinue reading “Q is for Quandary”
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”
Finders Weepers
Every five minutes. “I lost my phone.” “I lost my glasses.” “Where’s the remote?” Keys. Wallets. So this year, a very perceptive Santa Claus brought Karen a deluxe tracking system to keep track of all the things that we cannot find on a regular basis. It took over two hours of labelling and setting itContinue reading “Finders Weepers”
Out With the Old
Everything has a useful life. Products. People. Animals. We just witnessed a microcosm with the recent NFL playoff games. The Old Guard were represented by the sports’ standard bearer Tom Brady and the best quarterback not named Tom Brady, the Green Bay Packers’ Aaron Rodgers. The Young Guns were represented by their standard bearer PatrickContinue reading “Out With the Old”
We’re All Going to Die
Brilliant. Almost profound. These pearls are courtesy of a 31% Sativa strain called Ninety-Two Cookies. Money. I was going out to watch my brother-in-law, ADOGG, and his band of brothers and cousins, collectively and musically known as Kin. I think it is a badass name and much better than the initially offered “Kinfolk.” See whatContinue reading “We’re All Going to Die”
Afterthoughts
I think I have made it abundantly clear where I stand on politics. I don’t. I don’t give a damn about anything so fervently that it dictates my course of action, unless you count protecting your family. When I unavoidably see a few stories, they seem to be focused on what a shitty job Jo-JoContinue reading “Afterthoughts”
Choices
At least in a democratic society we are supposed to have many choices; that is what a democracy is all about after all. For some unknown reason, no one has ever approached me to ask my opinions on Roe v Wade. Here they are: Firstly, no man should be a part of the legislative processContinue reading “Choices”
Slow Down
This planet is spinning way too fast. People seem to always be in a hurry amidst this pandemic with no one working in an office building. So where are they going and why aren’t they at their home offices working? Not wanting to work is something I totally understand; and I also have a lazyContinue reading “Slow Down”
