Yeah, ridiculously stressful week, that’s kept rolling straight through until close of business on Friday, with even more on the horizon already for next week. Who knows what the next bit of weirdness is going to be. For the moment, I’m keeping on with the work that needs done, and keeping this in mind, and […]

Like so many people this morning, after going to bed (way early, as I’m feeling rather awful, but not too awful, since my immune system basically works, unlike other parts of me, at fighting off elementary-school sourced respiratory virii) watching the new guy cave to Colombia’s hitting back at his bullying then claim victory, we […]

As I start writing this piece in the middle of my first week back at work, I’m the *only* one in the house who’s back to work, because, for the first time in a couple of years, the RVA metro has been hit with what they call a “major” winter storm in these parts, which […]

After a couple of five-hundred years’ displaced pop culture references, here’s my “Happy New Year” post. So it’s 2025.
