Day Four
I’ve seen nothing from the CDC on the subject, but I cannot see any reason why lap time with a warm dog would not be part of a COVID treatment program. Also, it occurred to me yesterday, as I was … Continue reading
An Hypothetical
So, you’re cleaning out your house. It’s a pretty big house, and you’ve got a lot of stuff to get rid of. But you’re sure the town trash service will be perfectly happy to deal with all of it, so you … Continue reading
“First offense, BAM! Into the colon you go!”
Mr. Carlin on germs and disease (play through headphones if you’re at work and you share a desk with some easily-offended Karen-type): Obviously I’m not in total agreement here, but it’s fun watching an artist at the top of his … Continue reading
Ginger root and citrus peel
The dialogue opening this scene from The West Wing (season one) has been on my mind today: I haven’t resorted yet to a strong shot of whiskey, but I’m not ruling it out, either. I have an unopened bottle of Scotch … Continue reading
The mood of the day…

“Then you may take me to the Faire….”, 2022 edition
Last weekend we attended the Sterling Renaissance Festival for the first time since 1999! Huzzah!!! Obviously the Festival didn’t happen in 2020, and I’m honestly not sure if it tried to happen last year, but in any event we did … Continue reading

Silences and Outages ahoy!
Hey folks, just a quick check-in here…I’m taking a few days off from work as my sister visits from out-of-town, so posting will likely be scarce here for a bit. Going offline is a good thing! Meanwhile, since it’s summer, … Continue reading




“And there was evening, and there was morning—the fifth day”
Yeah, I’m pretty much back to normal this morning. I’m not planning on testing myself again until tomorrow, but it’s really looking like I’ve weathered my own personal COVID storm pretty well. I’m one of the lucky ones for whom … Continue reading →
