It was 2016. I was involved in a horrible breakup. One morning, everything was wonderful, and later that day it was completely done. Over. No warning. And at my lowest possible time in my life … a new entity came into my world. And we were together for six years. Six amazing years. So many…
Read MoreThe last ride of the Rubber Duck. Rest in peace, C.W. McCall.
Bill Fries passed away last Friday. The former mayor of Ouray, Colorado lived to the ripe old age of 93. Prior to his political career, he worked in advertising, and had a successful campaign for a Nebraska-based bread. I knew him, however, as C.W. McCall. And most people knew C.W. McCall as the person behind…

The NEBA Roast Beef – Mike’s Submarines Latch Hook Project, April 3 2022 progress
Normally at this point in time, I’d complain about running out of some esoteric color and having to work around it while another color shipment from Herrschner’s came through the mail. Well, this time the problem wasn’t my yarn. It was my hook. More specifically, the hook itself broke in two. The metal rod pulled…

Good morning, wonderful blog readers. I’m back in motion and ready to take on the weekend, and I hope you are as well. I still have to take care of a few things this morning, but they can wait until after I finish today’s blog recap. There’s some seriously good stuff here this week, so…

Read MoreA video of one of Madison Cawthorn’s cocaine-fueled orgies just got leaked online. You’ll never believe who’s on camera.
So for the past few days, there have been statements by Republican House representative Madison Cawthorn (Q-NC) that refer to him being invited to various political events in which drugs and sex were involved. That was before last night … when a videotape of one of the orgies popped up on an online adult video…
Read MoreAlbany Patroons vs. London Lightning tonight … can’t I root for both teams??
I knew this day would arrive. It had to. Full disclosure. I’ve worked with the National Basketball League of Canada for the past ten years, working in statistics and player clearances. More full disclosure. I’ve worked with the Albany Patroons for many years, doing everything from game photos to PA announcing to broadcasting to post-game…
Read MoreThe Renee Richards / Juwanna Mann logical fallacy
I’m so sick of transphobes. Transphobes (or, to be more polite, TERFs), hate trans men and trans women, and use their hatred as part of this logical fallacy that girls can’t compete in school sports because boys take hormones to be girls and win all the girls’ sports. Give me a break. If you’re that…
Read MoreWhy it really cost $100 to partially fill your gas tank.
I’ve written about high gas prices in the past, and who seems to take the blame for them. It’s usually the person you hate the most, as they become a scapegoat for your personal hate. Never mind that oil is a commodity, and gasoline stations in the United States are private companies that charge whatever…
Read MoreAlopecia and the image of beauty: or, what was the “GI Jane 2” joke about??
I didn’t watch the Oscars last night. But apparently this morning, there’s a ton of commentary on social media about Will Smith open-palm-slapping Chris Rock regarding a joke Chris Rock made about Will Smith’s wife, Jada Pinkett Smith. That was a Prudential slap, because Will Smith got him a piece of the Rock. Okay, joke’s…
