Grey day; September has been one long dull toothache. Hey, I forgot to tell you what I had for supper yesterday! Pizza. On a Monday, you say? Doesn’t that violate the Order of Things. Yes. But wife is out of town, and daughter wanted to try this:
The 100-option drink dispenser. And it [...]
What the hellam I supposed to do with this coffee can?
You’re thinking: you could throw it away. Not an option. You could put in the garage and fill it with nuts and bolts. I have no nuts or bolts. You could use it for change! I have two Chock Full O’ Nuts [...]
My mistake: forgot to put up the picture of Addled Jesse yesterday. Looks less added in retrospect, but, well, whatever.
Child has a sleepover, and my wife’s off tomorrow, so we’re going to sit outside and sip light, refreshing beverages and perhaps plan a summer vacation. Too late, you say? Not if you [...]

On the way back from swimming we saw an ambulance trying to get through traffic at a stop light, presumably to join the dolorous choir of wailing emergency vehicles we heard when we left the mall. The presence of a white vehicle with flashing lights and a howling klaxon usually impresses upon others the need [...]
Called up the Beethoven playlist tonight and noticed that nothing had been assigned a star. How can I tell what I like if I I don’t rate it? And enter the rating in my personal database? So I started to enter some ratings, giving the “Egmont” overture a solid five, of course; the moody, [...]
Rain. But there was sun at noon – perfect mid-70s sun. It wasn’t to be trusted. Not this summer. Clouds came in like imperial bureaucrats after the conquering army had passed,adn set up shop. Mean clouds by five. Thought I’d run to the grocery store to get a pepper and an onion for fajitas. If [...]
