Sadly, it's not a case of waiting for the other shoe to drop. Instead, it's shoe after shoe after shoe ... What's up there? A millipede? The news, it is nearly uniformly terrible, so let's take that as read. We're doing okay. I'm baking. Who doesn't need cookies, even in the best of times? They're even better in these times. So I made a double batch. Lexi, the chipuggle rescue mutt, is around 12 years old. Being warm seems to be more of a priority for her these winter days. So, laying on an electric blanket and covered in a…

That said, we've not experienced a significant run of ill luck yet this day, but then neither of us suffer from triskaidekaphobia. We are having intermittent warm and cold stretches, with a possibility of some icy precipitation on Wednesday upcoming - Marcia's looking forward to that. Lexi can do without the heat of summer or the cold of winter, but she does look forward to curling up on the electric blanket in the mid evening on cold nights... Not much else to report yet. I'm waiting to see what happens come Monday. Our condolences to the family and friends of…

The shoe that hasn't dropped, yet. Is he just being a narcissistic asshole, or is he clawing at every possibility he can envision before becoming a private citizen again, and subject to the consequences and suits and indictments that are headed his way? Don't get me wrong, I'm super pleased that Biden has won. I'm super disappointed that so many, many people still voted for the incumbent, and that's going to be a deal for a long time. So yeah, I'm still on edge, and that's even without pandemic 2.0, and the idiots who STILL won't wear masks or stay…

I don't ask for a lot here, but I have one request to make of y'all - VOTE! Democracy requires citizen participation: VOTE! OFFS, just get out there and VOTE! It's probably too late for absentee/mail-in ballots, which is how Marcia and I have exercised our civic duty. But there's early voting almost everywhere. Don't sit home, don't sit this out. VOTE! Unless, of course, you're offended when I ask that if you plan on voting for the incumbent, just keep your ass on the BarcaLounger (tm) at home, in front of Fox and Friends. But even if you're in…

667

It has been a month or so, but I've been ... busy. Even though we've been healthy, as have our extended families, the coronavirus situation, in juxtaposition with the political environment has made for a stressful time. I wish I were hopeful on all fronts, but I'm going for survivability at the moment. Or an asteroid strike. Decisions, decisions. Why 667? Well, it's the number following the Number of the Beast, and the post that's been sitting on top of the page for the last month was also the post numbered similarly. So it's a bit of a celebration of…
