You been watching my internet presence this week? You know what the title means. “I Will” – The Beatles “Diseases of Yore” – MC Frontalot “Wanted Dead or Alive” – Bon Jovi “Rockin’ In The USA” – Kiss “Black Diamond” – The Replacements “This Is The Day” – The Cranberries “The Only Difference Between Martyrdom […]

Today has turned out to be a pretty big stress day for me. The actual events of the day, not so much, but rather the day when my body and mind have decided to just surrender to the ongoing siege that life has decided to conduct on my psyche over the last few weeks and […]

Once again, the threat of weather has me working from home, which I don’t mind at all. I have plenty of official sorts of things to review and wordsmith, which should keep me busy for my requisite eight hours of workday. That said, otherwise, the week’s been kind of a dud. I was ready to […]

I imagine all you readers out there clamoring for my lastest thoughts and feelings on the world at large, all three or four of you, are probably pretty disappointed at my output lately.

He came into our family as a small kitten, whose eyes took up roughly 80 percent of his head, shortly after we adopted Calypso, and […]

Not feeling particularly profound today, but I thought since I was getting back into the routine everywhere else, I might as well do it here by posting something. The routine was disrupted last week, as I was off for a week. I needed some time, and some things needed done. Didn’t get quite as much […]

The last few days have been very trying for me, physically and emotionally.
