… the Montgomery Boat Brawl, c. August 5, 2023. Am I wrong for enjoying this to the extent that I am/did/will forever? People were harmed, peace was disturbed, arrests were made, and I laughed, and laughed, and laughed. Rather than a shot across the bow, a jaunty flip o’ the cap. The Ice Cream Social …
Nepotism, Cronyism, and Favoritism … the Modern Trifecta
theKid participated in a sports camp/competition recently. Results were not as hoped. However. theKid performed quite well, achieving top ten status in most of the events, and top twenty status in the others. For a point of reference, there was roughly maybe 300-500 participants, skill levels from newbie to vet. Anyhoo, theKid had one flub …

Five Minutes v. $5M
Well that’s disturbing. Someone posed the question: “Would you take $5M (dollars) or five minutes with Jesus?” Over(under)whelmingly, folks asked chose the cash. Every single one of the three MFs, and one of the two dudes. Sigh. Sign ‘O the Times. Personally, I value eternal salvation over dallah-dallah bills, yooalll … but that’s me. {Matthew 6:24} …
If Not, Don’t; If Yes, More! More! More!
Half and theKid returned from their travels, and I must say – family is everything. Unless it isn’t. Methinks if I had not succumbed to marriage, and if Half had not insisted on being fruitful and multiplying, I believe I would not have missed what I did not have. Let me explain (or not … …

Hungry Monkey
After this month, I will have another 90 days before I have completely fed a monkey while simultaneously starving it to death. Yay, me. The point? If I, with my preternaturally irresponsible financial self, can get serious and consistent about paying off debt, then absolutely anyone else can, too. Now, it only took getting sued, …
Bang the Drum, But Quickly This Time
Just saw “Sound of Freedom.” Shattered my cold and shriveled black heart. I get why Hollyweird doesn’t like it. Too plausible/likely/all the yepnope. Keep those babies close. Really scary? GOD wanted me to see this film today. To recap the day’s events … Yesty-day went and got takeout (diet what? where?) and when I hit …
All Hands on DEC
Per the usual, GOD figured it out for me. Mentioned several times ‘round these parts that I am a fatbody. A lard ahh. Bit of a beached whale. Not that I care but Half does and thus so I must. Anyhoo, back eleventy-umpteen years ago, bought a … device, designed to help with that. Of …
Amazing Awesome But Still Just Human
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 …
Vlad the Upseller
Didn’t see that one coming. Or maybe did. No real mystery that Vlad’s efforts re empire-building/expansion have been met with a bit of resistance. What’s it been, 18 months now? Vlad budgeted a couple months to complete his invasion, and just recently Moscow almost got took by his own mercs. Ha! Gotta love it. Vlad …
The Great Gaslight
OK so there’s this big ahh ball of light and hubris in Vegas and it’s disturbing, to say the least. Some have opined that the MSG Sphere is a beacon for ET to come and visit. Interestingly more so, a family in Vegas made a 911 call to report aliens in their backyard … 9, …
