third floor
Our office building has a multilevel parking garage. We park in our assigned spot on level six and usually take the elevator down to the ground floor. This morning B must have relied on muscle memory to press the button to go to the third floor; she works on the third floor of the office… Read.

cable snap
The garage door failed catastrophically after I started the garage door opener as My Darling B and I stepped into the garage to go to brunch this morning. I thought the door sounded a lot like it was being torn apart by the garage door opener, but no matter how long I gaped at it,… Read.

dystopia
Last night we watched the first two episodes of season two of The Handmaid’s Tale, the Hulu television series based on the book by Margaret Atwood. It’s a deeply troubling story about an ultraconservative revolution that overthrows the US government and, among their other bad attributes, literally enslaves fertile women, forcing them to bear children… Read.

not warm enough
I had hoped the weather yesterday would be warm enough for me to break the kayak out of its winter cocoon and take it for a paddle around the bay while B was at yoga last night, but alas, it was a bit too chilly for that. Temps just barely crept up into what is… Read.

dinner on the patio
I think summer came to Wisconsin yesterday, and maybe if we’re very lucky it will stay for a while. It may even stay all weekend. Yesterday was the first day I walked around outside in shirt sleeves. Other people were doing it when temps hit the 40s and 50s, and I may have run from… Read.

Hari
Tim went with B and I to the Comedy Club on State Street last night to see Hari Kondabolu, always a good time. Hari’s opener was the hilarious Carmen Lagala from New York. I’ve never seen her act before but enjoyed it immensely. The host was Greg Bach from Milwaukee, who was entertaining and occasionally… Read.

easy come, easy go
Michael Cohen, the man Trump calls his personal lawyer and who everybody else calls his ”fixer,” was arraigned in federal court yesterday where he named TV talking head Sean Hannity as one of his clients. The only other client Cohen has had is Elliot Broidy, a big donor to the Republican National Committee, who secured… Read.

not going well
I have to say, Spring is not going well this year. The rain that started yesterday kept on pissing down all night and this morning, but we’re pretty lucky to get nothing worse than that. Not much farther north, they’re talking about having to shovel several inches of snow, drifting, and other unpleasantness. I’m pretty… Read.

get ready
After I rolled out of bed this morning and started the morning pot of coffee brewing, I checked in to Twitter to see what’s new in the world and the first thing I see is OH MY GOD TRUMP IS GOING TO BLOW UP SYRIA! “Russia vows to shoot down any and all missiles fired… Read.

frosty
B noticed yesterday that the thermometer in the fridge was indicating sixty degrees and the food wasn’t cold, which is sort of the opposite of what you want in a refrigerator. I’d noticed the night before that the beer I grabbed from the door wasn’t as cold as the one I’d drunk the day before… Read.
