I’m just messing with you
Huzzah! A WordPress theme that looks like drivel! And I mean that as a compliment. I’d been browsing WordPress themes again because My Darling B said she liked everything about the theme I had been using up until now, except that she couldn’t see the comments on the old posts without clicking on every one… Read.

Stop calling, stop calling
I’ve got a telephone that hates me. I don’t believe it’s a personal thing, I think it’s just that the AI designed for it loathes everyone, equally and indiscriminately. Her voice drips with contempt as she ticks off my options, but I realize it only seems to hate me in particular because I happen to… Read.

Let’s Listen In
Yesterday afternoon, talk radio brought us the Constitution Party’s candidate for the federal senate seat coming open next month in Wisconsin, and we kept the radio tuned in and the volume turned up because whenever they have somebody from a political group with a name like Constitution Party or Green Party or American Liberty Party… Read.

What I Did On My Day Off
It’s Furlough Monday! Time to stay at home and do something frivolous. Or not so frivolous, if you’re the guy in charge of keeping the bathroom clean and you sort of let it slide for a couple weeks. Yuk. I made a project out of it by driving down to the store to buy a… Read.

Smile!
The weather’s been so absolutely gorgeous that I hopped on my bike to take a ride through town today because soon enough we’ll be hunkered down against the winter winds so long I won’t even remember what a bike ride under a warm autumn sun feels like. I haven’t been on a complete circuit of… Read.

Shuffle Bowling at St Vinnie’s
If I’d been able to figure out how to fit it into the back seat of our car, this would be in the living room of our home right now. Or maybe not. When I mentioned it to My Darling B she laughed and asked me where I thought we would be able to put… Read.

Show and Tell
Aaron, one of my coworkers, was showing me how to approve course work for continuing education. That’s what I do now; I’m one of the two continuing education specialists in my unit at the Department of Regulation and Licensing, so I’d better know how to do this at least a little better than the guy… Read.

Splashdown
I don’t know how I managed to wangle a ride to the International Space Station aboard a Russian Soyuz capsule, but I did. They stuffed me in the back seat. I didn’t know the Soyuz even had a back seat, but it must have because I got to ride out the trip to orbit in… Read.

Killing the Killer Flu
How to weather the killer death flu that’s kicking everybody’s ass right now and will inevitably lay you low if you have kids, a day job or otherwise mix with the public: 1: Go straight to your neighborhood Walgreen’s and buy one box of multi-sympton Wal-fed and one box of decongestant Wal-fed. The upside of… Read.

Out Go The Lights!
I’m still trying to sleep off the effects of this head cold I caught, so this will necessarily be brief before I have to go medicate myself with my hourly fistful of over-the-counter drugs, drink a pint of water and stretch out on the recliner for my early-mid-late-afternoon nap. My symptoms today are a lot… Read.
