Dressing for St. Paddy’s, and seeing Paul Reiser
My observation of St. Paddy’s Day this year was limited to what I wore, as luck had it. The Wife and I went out for fish fry at a favorite joint (Frank Gourmet Hot Dogs, if you must kn0w–photo here, … Continue reading

Of sweaters and such….
Two Christmases in a row, I petitioned The Wife for a white cable-knit sweater rather like the one Chris Evans wore in Knives Out. I didn’t petition her for this sweater because Chris Evans wore one in Knives Out, but I won’t say … Continue reading
“Well, I’m back,” he said.
It’s Monday! And as promised, The Wife and I are back from our too-brief (aren’t they all?) weekend getaway. After the general shit-show that was Summer 2022 for us, we really needed a nice getaway. And that’s exactly what we had. … Continue reading

Now we need brands called “Equality!” and “Fraternity!”
I haven’t written about The World’s Greatest Overalls Collection* lately, so…let’s talk overalls. Specifically, the Liberty brand. Liberty is a common brand that’s been around forever, but I’ve never owned a pair, until now. I have to admit that I’ve … Continue reading
The algorithms are scaring me now
By now I’m sure we’ve all had the weirdly unsettling experience that goes something like this: I was talking to a friend about how to best slice tomatoes, and nobody else was in the room, and then the next day … Continue reading

For lack of a better idea for a post, here’s a selfie from last week, followed by the results of applying several filters through an app called Prisma. Here’s the original: This was taken at Knox Farm State Park in … Continue reading
“My thoughts, I confess, verge on dirty….”

“And there was evening, and there was morning—the fifth day”
