Happy freaking Friday. Today WM got paid for the first time since June and thusly I am walking around like this: Or this: We did okay this summer budget-wise and would have completely aced it if it weren’t for Murphy’s…
Show us your books: September 2017
So far I’ve read 27 books this year, which SOUND fantastic until you realize I’m 7 books behind schedule for reading my goal of 50 books. Boo! This summer has been … problematic … but I’m getting back into the…
Friday 5 on Sunday? Yes, Sunday.
Between a birthday week that was less-than*, and concerns over the biggest hurricane ever headed right toward Retired-Guy Land, FL, I’m glad to be in another calendar week. Here’s the Friday 5 that was supposed to be done on Friday,…
The Lady at 45 :This I believe
Today I’m 45 years old. It’s a milepost for me. When I turned 40 I believed I’d live past 80, but at 45 I don’t think I’ll make it to 90 so I am officially on the downward side of…
Currently, Labor Day weekend edition
At any given time, to reduce stress (and HOO BOY THIS SUMMER) I pick one of these three: eating, drinking alcohol or biting my nails. I’ll give you one guess as to which one I’ve been resorting to. One guess….
Friday 5 on Saturday: Five of Whatever

Friday 5: Homecoming
Happy Friday! Today was my last Summer Friday of the season. (Boooo!) And it rained most of the morning (BOOOO!) so no beach for me. Bah. Instead, we went to see The Hitman’s Bodyguard. It was okay. I went in…
TBT: Drums
Christmas, 1975 or 1976. Mickey Mouse drums, naturally. The picture is grainy, but I found this picture on eBay so we could appreciate the art in all of its 1970s Psychedelic Funk! I don’t remember the drum set after this…
Doggo update
I’m calling them doggos today to sound more Internet-hip. Is it working? Ollie is doing great, and completely embracing his mellow years. Having a younger brother has brought the happiness back to him, and even though I know he’s annoyed…
