Month: January 2021

We all remember the shipping nonsense that happened over Christmas. In addition to KC’s difficulties, I had Facebook friends posting maps that showed the twisted paths their packages took to get the last few miles jetting off to Georgia on the day they were to be delivered. I did have something that they sent to…

Where has this show BEEN? No, really, Netflix has been around for years, why are they just now getting around to this series of delightful 20 minute episodes, each devoted to a curse word. I have seen almost all of them. Episode 1: FUCK – here we are presented with the show’s premise: we follow…

You know what I’ve done a lot of this week? I have watched a lot of Fox News. Step 1: see utter batshit madness on CNN or MSNBC.Step 2: change the channel to FOX just to see how they were going to spin it. FOX kept up. I didn’t hear them use the words “liar”…

So the election nonsense continues into January, with tomorrow being the vote that definitively determines who wins the Florida senate votes, and thus the Senate overall. Seriously, this senate has been balls-out nonsense the last decade or so. Do I think the Democrats can win both Georgia Senate seats? No, not really. If they do,…

My brother was again talking about the radioactive creek near our childhood condo, and I mentioned the only person we know who lived there who actually had cancer was our stepdad, Dan. Dave said, “Yeah, but he said paint thinner is what gave him the cancer.” “What are you talking about?” “When he got cancer…

2020, of course, divided nicely into pre- and post- Pandemic. Pre-pandemic! Early in the year, a friend threw her husband a birthday party that included a concert performed by a member of their favorite band. I was so effusive in my praise the artist posted it on his website under the Living Room Concerts heading.…
