OK so … marriage is [supposed to be] a partnership, right? Then why is it so endlessly frustrating? Because people gonna people. Ergo / to wit … Half likes to keep information fairly close to vest until … “Duh-dunna-naaaah!” Here; do this now. Sigh. Grunt. Groan. Half is the only one in the household w/info …
Talk Left / Live Right, or What I Said is Not What I Do
Well isn’t that interesting. Article by Brad Wilcox in the Atlantic discussed a book called, “Get Married,” and how the college-educated espouse alternative family types without actually embracing those alternatives themselves. Finish education. Establish career. Get married. Have kids. In that order. Although those selfsame folks claim bastardizing children is no big deal, they themselves …

Too Much Makeup
Watched an episode of some daytime nonsense a while back — (“… you are not the father …”) it was just on don’t judge me — about women who refuse to be seen without a full face of makeup. Paint & spackle. The husband of one woman had no idea what his wife actually looked …
The Deep Suck
theKid is Gen Alpha, and young enough that (most) adults dismiss those generally angsty feelings withOh, you’re just young. You’ll get over it … yet is still old enough to be clinically depressed. theKid does not like school. Does pretty well at it, teachers are consistently complimentary, other kids are yelling “Bye!” as theKid is …
The Single Promise
Pretty sure I saw a guy die on the freeway. Had just dropped theKid off, heading into the maw of RTO and mildly surprised that the flow of traffic was actually flowing then suddenly it slowed down to a crawl. Forgot where I heard/read this, but some wise person suggested that when traffic slows/stops, head …
The Golden is Mean
Bradley Cooper is a walking, talking thirst trap. So no homo, but most guys would agree … being that guy would be pretty sweet. Heard he’s tall, too. And with chest hair. Dare I say, a pelt. Life, is so not the fair. Guess that’s why bras and jockstraps come in different sizes. Just watched …
Now THAT was Fun
Loved you from the moment I met you. “Honey fungus.” Indeed. I love a good read and this one was a winner, hands down all around. Well, maybe not all around but majority mostly, which is absolutely good enough. “Cold Storage” by David Koepp (must’ve had fun in school with that one) … so much …
Conspiracy of Dunces
OK so latest polling suggests ‘Murricans don’t want Clueless Joe/CryptKeeper or Potato Don/Orange Jesus as the next leader of the “free” world. Interesting. Despite vocals that resonate like skin on a mandoline RFK Jr. is doing very well across all voting groups, so much so that his electability is even better than that of the …
Culture of Death
Well, I guess it’s all fine then. Apparently, the courts are not too overly concerned with the truth only the process, which needs finality, so … duh. Funnily enough, the AG for the not-so-great state of Oklahoma doesn’t want to kill an (impliedly) innocent man, but the authorities that have the power to prevent the …
Socializing with the Unsociable
Once again … so glad to be officially hitched. It ain’t perfect but it is all mine. MFs today not going to Cheesecake Factory or Olive Garden or Applebee’s. Well stay your ahh right on home, then. Sheesh. $300 for a first date? Really? What is that? Where does all that entitlement come from? No. …
