The Weekend: September 19-20, 2020

I'm letting the day slip away from me. It's been really nice here the last couple of days. Cool and dry, and there's definitely a bite of fall in the air. Tropical Storm Beta is heading to the Texas coast, is how things are looking. The last time we got into the Greek alphabet was … Continue reading The Weekend: September 19-20, 2020 →

The Weekend: September 5-6, 2020

It's been a dumb week and I have nothing going on upstairs. It's been this way all week. I don't know if it's an upcoming change in the weather, wigginess after six months of virtual isolation, or just a natural reaction to the general dumbness we're seeing these days. So, with that in mind, here's … Continue reading The Weekend: September 5-6, 2020 →

The Weekend: May 2-3

Because I initially forgot to include links to this week's News over at the Blogger site, I'm going to go ahead and do the links right now before I forget anything. Tuesday was all about aliens, either in games (yes, another XCOM: Chimera Squad plug) or visitors from another planet. I went off on a … Continue reading The Weekend: May 2-3 →

The Weekend: April 18-19, 2020

It's been dumping rain all day. Off and on, there will be a deluge but it's been otherwise steady and the skies have been that dull silver grey a day of thunderstorms bring. We have not been able to take our constitutional and my buddy Otis, the Jack Russell, is not happy. However, best I … Continue reading The Weekend: April 18-19, 2020 →

Saturday, March 21, 2020

Going to do something a little different today. I'm going to skip the News unless something drastic happens. I wrote a big mess of Gibberish over at the Blogger site, and I think that'll be my output for the day. I've scheduled this to be posted late afternoon/early evening, and will probably post a link … Continue reading Saturday, March 21, 2020 →

It's not the world, it's me. There's plenty interesting stuff going on, I'm sure. I'm just not inclined to spend much time on it. Melancholy? I don't know, but let's get our write on and see if we can't get the word count anyway. But really, melancholy is a good word for the mood I'm … Continue reading Monday, March 9, 2020 →

I'm not going to lie. I ate something that didn't agree with me last night and had a bit of a tummy thing all day. So, since I really didn't pay attention to the news to form any serious opinions, we're going to just piddle until we hit 500. For what it's worth, whatever was … Continue reading Friday, March 6, 2020 →

Friday, February 21, 2020

I don't know what I'm going to write about tonight. I had an idea in the drive home from the gym, but it has plumb eluded me since. Even the evening constitutional with Otis wasn't able to spur it back into life. I guess we could look into the News, since we haven't really been … Continue reading Friday, February 21, 2020 →

"In a closed society where everybody's guilty, the only crime is getting caught. In a world of thieves, the only final sin is stupidity." On the third morning of my Big Trip, I was in Lamar, CO, a little town on the state line, after visiting Dodge City, KS. Nice little town, I thought, sort … Continue reading Thursday, February 20, 2020 →

Sunday, February 16, 2020

Okay, we're ready to do this. It's 8:15 p.m., Hillbilly Standard Time, and those were pretty good ribs. I just pounded out a thousand words on honky-tonk royalty, so I don't know if I'm even going to try hitting 500 words. I'm getting that weird throbbing behind my ears that would almost feel like one … Continue reading Sunday, February 16, 2020 →
