  January 19, 2021

  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…

• Day:309

  January 16, 2021

       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…

  https://youtu.be/Kp5BDkTnHmY   WORDS ARE HOOKS Don't look back, they're right behind you Sent to find you, bring you home But words are hooks in hearts and minds So you can't close your eyes and hide And just hope they'll go away Careful that the words don't choose you Tell your tongue to st...

• 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...

• Rememberance

  December 29, 2020

  No one ever goes to the cemetery to see the marker that says You folded 29,200 pairs of underpants. Loaded the dishwasher 21,900 times. Waited in various parking lots for 1397.5 hours while other people were getting out of school, visiting friends, or going to appointments. Threw away the paper t...

• A lifetime Rx for Effitol

  December 28, 2020

  Hubbin thought he'd be clever and make an appointment for a problem(I have) that will fix itself. Instead of fighting it I just got up early and went. Well, the joke is on us both. Some baby decided to be born and the appointment I didn't want to go to anyway was canceled by the…
