So, we're getting a late start today and if that bodes ill for the new year, well, I'm not altogether bothered by it. I spent the day reading, writing, and napping, and it's only the lack of a bit of the good smoke that keeps that from being tip-top. We all have our trials. But, … Continue reading Friday, January 1, 2021

We're starting the last week of 2020. I think I can speak for all of us when I say seeing the back end of this year will be a blessing. Let's all pray to the Baby Jesus that next year lets up on us. Now. As we noted yesterday, authorities in Nashville have positively identified Anthony Q. … Continue reading Monday, December 28, 2020

I like to think there isn't much in the political world that can shock me anymore. Maybe it's true, maybe it's not.

Amusingly, he said that to Lyndon Johnson, quite possibly the most significant … Continue reading Wednesday, August 12, 2020

I'm not going to sit here and lie about it. The main reason this didn't get done this morning is I stayed up too late playing a game and couldn't get my brain in gear this morning. For the record, it's Wasteland 2, a sequel to the '90s classic. You like early Fallout, you'll like … Continue reading Friday, June 26, 2020
