KISS My . . .

  Representative Pramila Jayapal is a Democrat from the state of Washington. Senator Josh Hawley is a Republican from Missouri. While they are not yet on the same page, they are both in the same book, and from way down here, it seems like their way is the only really viable option forward. Which means, […]

Socially Distant

Lynn and I had Plans. While I’m sure the rest of you didn’t, and you all are enjoying this massive upheaval in Existence, Lynn and I are finding this to be rather disruptive, particularly on our social life. Now, we are not the most social couple out there, and we had already, in our new […]

This is Weird

You know what’s weird? Besides everything in the whole entire world, I mean? Well, lots of things. For instance, tax returns. Lynn and I don’t have one yet for 2019, although we do have one from 2018 (filed in 2019 just to be confusing), but now, a year later, we’re having trouble figuring it out […]

Keyed Up

Here is a story of competence so impressive it may take your breath away, which is probably a horrible expression to be using during a respiratory pandemic. Forget I said anything. Oz and I have been walking to work from Lake School, a 15-minute jaunt that is allowing me to catch up on my backlog […]

As you know, I have agonized for well over a week about which portions of federal assistance alphabet soup to pour into my bowl, as I have pored over their ingredients and sought assistance from any cook who might provide it. […]

Some people, perhaps even people I associate with, although I might never admit this in public, make numbers their avocation. They not only understand them, […]

Shopping the Safe Way

I have gone to Safeway many, many times over the course of my lifetime. Many times. And when I go in, I almost always turn to the right, and then I go up one aisle and down the next until I reach the left-hand side of the store, at which point I head to check-out. […]

Of Mice and Other Stuff

So it is snowing, light little flakes that must be hovering right on the point of freezing, because large chunks of collected flakes keep flaking off the roof. A dreary Sunday here to mark what is probably going to be a rather dreary Easter for local Christians. There would have been not much of a […]

Dear Teachure

Please excuse TL from writing his blog today at he woke up feeling quite dizzy despite loading up on Zyrtec during a recent uprising of allergens. He also proved a bit indecisive as to which of many covid-related topics to address this morning, although speaking of uprisings you’re bound to eventually hear about the second […]
