• The New Fear

  February 2, 2021

  January went by so fast I hardly had time to think about anything. Tomorrow Hubbin has an appointment to get his 1st shot. Suddenly I have an unexpected fear. He will most likely be "safe" but will we be safe from him? After tomorrow he could be a carrier and we wouldn't know. He wouldn't…

  "Where do you want to go eat?" I ask him. "Oh, are we going to eat?" He asks. "If you are tired we don’t have to go anywhere. You seemed like you wanted to go so I came straight back home." I say after dropping our youngest son off in town and restraining myself from…

  Finally sent the Hubbin off to the University to teach in person today. Epic PPE but him still a nervous wreck even as he sits on the end of the couch thinking up things for me to do while he is gone. He swears I never told him I was bugging out next week for…

       We had a wind storm midweek. The airport recorded 71mph winds. One of the Expo 74 butterflies broke loose its mount and was laid in a tangled heap on the ground. That thing was rated to withstand 100mph winds. It was recently rehabbed and they did it wrong, or the age still caused…

• Still Here

  January 7, 2021

  Last night I sat and listened to Lindsey Graham and Rand Paul say things I never thought I'd hear. Everyone has a line. Mike Pence has a line. Mitch McConnell has a line. Our enemies try to spin this as an embarrassment. tRump tells the knuckle-dragging mouth breathers "We love you". These were n...

• Until the After: Day 298 (or Alt 9th,Zer0)

  January 4, 2021

  Dusting off the 8 days week Alternate universe calendar I've been working on since my days managing Fort Argle Bargle I was able to fine-tune a working year ZERO. Change your concept of time (today is 1/9/0) and you change a lot. I was able to preemptively make 2020 cease to exist days before the...

  A story about a husband, a dad, a crisis of the weather and of a marriage. Nice capable writing and some really heart rending insights. My only complaint is there is a lot of navel gazing and details that just wander into gross stuff that doesn't have anything to do with the story. Things are&hel...
