OK so this right here is a conscious, decisive effort to be apolitical, asocial, aracial (is that a thing? yes? no? No matter), agendered … all of that. Easier to hate everything and everyone equally. Keeps it simple. But must say … the ancestral progenitors of the ICS are flexing mad raucous these days. OK, …
And for More News of/in the Apocalypse …
Well this is … 2025. And, apparently, there is an interstellar object hurtling towards Momma Earth at about 130K/MPH, and none of the really big brains knows what it is. Troubling. But a bit of a thrill too. Deep Impact is one of the faves (do love a good ELE flick) although methinks some large, …

One Nation’s Trash, Another Nation’s Leader
So, wait. A foreign nation gifting a luxury jet to a sitting president is not a bribe? Well, phooey all over up in that. Nobama couda hadda major come up on some mad swag ‘cuz people actually liked him. The funniest part is that the robed&wealthy are laughing at the Orange Menace because that plane …

Rites of Passage
theKid is an onlyborn. Other relatives in the age range/peer group, but only has Half and other half as live and direct, in-house fam. Other wrinkle (heh)? Half and other half are a full two generations older than theKid, so highly likely, probable, and darn-near gah-ron-teed that theKid will have to bury one if not …
Play to Play
theKid had a tournament/game/meet of sorts … did pretty well, first in some, second in others, medals/trophies/awards all around. Half tends to focus on the win, whereas (non-competitive) other half is like, Isn’t playing the point? But suppose that is why Half has more success, and other half is just riding those coattails. Begs the …
Still Standing
Wow. Guess glad now didn’t choose to invest. They said (and you know how “they” are) not to worry about the fluctuations in the stock market unless retirement is pending in the next few years, but my goodness … do those next few years include the next 20? But … a wise person reminded that …
True Blessing
Celebrated the arrival of theKid earlier this month … asked for a zombie VR experience (yehinorite) accompanied by a few friends. Cake, pizza, festivities and frivolities enjoyed by all. theKid gave a thumbs-up to the experience so feeling pretty validated. Breeding has its perks. Speaking of … recent stats indicate the US birthrate has fallen …
Color Me (Un)Surprised
Guess always knew, what with the proof of history (see his NYC apartments in the 70’s) but … wow. Here’s a guy, born into segregation, witnesses the end of segregation, then acts to put it back. Wonder why he didn’t say he was going to do that on the campaign trail … hmmm, reasons. And …
Flashpoint
Oh, Ohio. Read “Beloved,” by Toni Morrison. Oprah should have left that one on the pages. Hard to put the murder of a child to save from slavery on film, but hey. There’s that. Anyhoo, Ohio. Back in February, buncha horsemen riding hard put up some symbols and yelled some things and then got confronted …
Down to None
Love ‘em, and hate this. So, so very much. The last dog, the final puppy, has gone on to that field of butterflies in the sky. Likely held on too long, did not want to let her go. Just selfish. Cancer roiling through those bowels. At the end, her back and skull bones were poking …
