Two quotes
Here are a couple of brief quotes from two different teevee shows, both of which (the quotes, that is) have been on my mind this week: “Why are we still talking about this?” (Captain Mal Reynolds, FIREFLY) “You’ll have doled … Continue reading
Still masking.
Seen on Twitter yesterday: In recent weeks in New York, the masks have been coming off. The Governor dropped her mask mandate several weeks ago (minus a couple of exceptions), and most counties have followed suit. My employer, The Store, … Continue reading
Nine Score and One Year ago….
March 4 was the original date mandated by the US Constitution for the commencement of Presidential terms, which means that March 4 was Inauguration Day. This was later changed with the 20th Amendment, which moved the Presidential term of office’s … Continue reading

Happy Birthday…
…to the person whose influence on my life includes, among many other things, a love of these various musical numbers. And so many more! (The person in question is my mother, who turns 80 today!)
Sure, we got a billion bucks lyin’ around someplace
Looks like the shoe is finally dropping in Buffalo and WNY, regarding the future of the region’s NFL franchise: the team’s owners, Terry and Kim Pegula, are floating the idea of a new stadium to replace the team’s existing venue, … Continue reading




When in Rome….
The Wife and I are traveling this weekend, spending a few days in the Finger Lakes. We got back to our rented cottage yesterday, when I found a Direct Message from a Facebook friend. It was something along the line … Continue reading →
