plain sight
My Darling B was looking for a shaker filled with pepper flakes she got from the grocery last week. She asked me if I knew what happened to it, as if I had a clue where she shelved her herbs and spices. I don’t put that stuff away, not because I have this highfalutin idea… Read.

flaunt vs flout
The clouds part, the sun shines, the angels sing: someone out there not only knows the difference between “flaunt” and “flout,” they also know how to use both in the same sentence to throw shade at those who don’t: “While many COVID skeptics and otherwise reckless individuals have used social media to flaunt how they’re… Read.

closing the loophole
Here’s the Terminator movie I’d like to see: The first terminator travels back in time from 2029 to 1984, hunts down all the Sarah Connors in the phone book until he finds the right one, but gets killed because Reese, a soldier from the future, also travels back in time to help Connor defeat the… Read.

absolute and total drivel
As I type these words, it’s seven o’clock in the morning and the sun still hasn’t risen. I asked the internet when the sun will rise and it told me 7:14 am. Then I looked out the window into utter and complete darkness and looked back at the internet. Refreshed the page. It still told… Read.

clothe
Just got off the phone with mom, who recalled this memory from when I was but a wee lad: When it was time for mom to go down to the basement to do the laundry, she would say to me, “I have to wash some clothes. Do you want to come downstairs with me, or… Read.

unpopular opinion
Star Trek (the original series) is not the show its fans seem to think it is. Fans of the show love to yammer on and on about how nothing is more important in the Star Trek universe than equality. Whatever nation you were from, whatever color your skin was, whatever your sex, everybody was treated… Read.
