Half shrilled at theKid recently. Couldn’t rescue theKid, ‘cuz theKid was in the wrong. Part of the problem is theKid is usually/typically/ordinarily totally awesome extraordinary, so when theKid reveals human traits, such as fallibility, selfishness, or lack of thought, Half explodes all over theKid because the expectation is that theKid knows better. Which theKid does …
The Measure of My Monkey
Realized (yes no I am not paying attention) that I haven’t checked on/REVEALED TO THE ENTIRE WORLD my debt of foolishness in a while, just been feeding the monkey and starving it at the same time. So without further ado (always ado, so much more ado) … the current measure of my monkey: Type of …
Actually, That’s Not Entirely Accurate
Have to admit, and might have to be the itchy butthole here, but I simply do not get Juneteenth. Yeh yeh folks in Galveston, Texas received news from Union soldiers in June of 1865 that – oh lookee here – their labor could no longer be stolen for the sole benefit of … ahem … …

The Nuclear Dude
One of theKid’s training camps is coed. Boys and girls, mixing it up, competing in kind, never a problem there, oh-ho-ho-no. Didn’t a female volleyball player wind up with a concussion after the translete spiked the ball into her face? But no difference between the sexes. Riiiiiiiight. Anyways … digress. So theKid has the occasional …
A Celebration of the 7 Deadly
I wonder if that is a coincidence. Actually … I don’t, not really, since I don’t believe in coincidence, luck, or perchance. All is GOD’s will, so there. But I noticed that now June is Pride month, a month where the … world? The States? Everybody? Is supposed to get together and throw a party …
In America’s Recurring News …
Whelp, here we go again. Divergent paths and different travelers, yet the same destination. Daniel Perry killed Jordan Neely. Susan Lorincz killed Ajike “AJ” Owens. On May 1, 2023, Daniel Penny, a 24-year-old Marine vet, put Jordan Neely, a 30-year-old homeless mental case, into a chokehold until Mr. Neely stopped breathing. Apparently, Mr. Neely was …

Perhaps it’s time to simply accept that this is who, what, and how we are. Americans, in America. We kill each other. As opposed to baseball, that’s our real national pastime. So rather than continue to call for gun reform/control/restrictions, let’s just tally the body count(s) and send thoughts and prayers that the number of …
The Fault of Feminism; or Say Hello to Dr. & Ms. Frankenstein
Per the usual, it’s all men’s fault. Yes and that includes feminism too. The MF is feeling the repercussions of the standard man’s disengagement … send the societal message that a woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle, and that man will riiiiide on out. Which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Men …

To Eat His Own
Found a fun little factoid … seems that back in 1912, the Astors were the wealthiest family in America, and John Jacob Astor was the richiest rich of the lot. But he died on the Titanic. Guess money don’t float. Isidor Straus(s?) and his wife Ida, owners of Macy’s … apparently, he refused to leave …
The Center Does Not Hold
Need a new fridge. Well, not really, ‘coz the old one still works, just with problems. See, one feature of the fridge is an alert — a “ding … ding … ding” — if the door sits open too long. Well this delightful little feature now ding … ding … dings even when the fridge …
