… 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 …

One Bed, One Bank
Saw a podcast clip that encouraged spouses to share finances. Maritals should share one bed and one bank account. The guest and the host both thought this was a basic, seemed amazed that folks could disagree. Nice, in theory. But people don’t live theoretical, they live actual, and methinks that might work for some but …
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 …
OK So That’s It? All Better Now?
The Supremes are a collection of twits. Well, not all of them, just the ones in majority control. Altho’ the latest couldn’t define “woman,” altho’ she is one, methinks, so she’s kind of shortbus too, but digress Anyhoo, the Supremes just eliminated one of the tools used to remedy generations of harm STILL HAPPENING BTW …
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 …
