wakey-wakey
I woke up from both of these dreams early this morning, thinking, “What the hell was that?” In the first dream, I was free-diving with Sheena Easton. Apparently Sheena had abandoned her one-hit career as a pop star and taken up free diving, the sport where you take one deep breath and swim deeper than… Read.

the blue one please
We went shopping for an automobile yesterday, which is kind of a weird way to describe what we were doing, now that I think about it. “Shopping” seems to imply that we know something about cars, that we’re looking for a particular car, and/or that we’re comparing one car over another, or one seller over… Read.

Beam me up
Just before I woke up, I had the kind of nerd dream I haven’t had since I was a hyper-hormonal 14-year-old. I was a redshirt leading a landing party from the USS Enterprise on a planet they’d never been to before. We were walking through what resembled a Greek temple, but every one of the… Read.

I can literally hear two lawn mowers and a leaf blower right now. Are people getting up early on Saturday just to piss me off? Read.

No mo
There were people out mowing their lawns at seven o’clock this Friday evening. I don’t want to brag, but you wouldn’t catch me doing that even if I were going on a week-long vacation and I hadn’t mowed for three weeks. Friday evening is the start of Saturday, my day of rest. Mowing the lawn… Read.

Fruity
B introduced me to the concept of too much fruit this morning. How this is a thing is beyond me, but she’s the foodie and reads about food all the time, so she ought to have the most up to date info on nutrition. Or, she’s reading stuff that’s bullshit. But whatever, she says there’s… Read.

Whoopty-fucking-doo
So Donald Trump said that Barack Obama was born in the United States. Whoopty-fucking-doo. After years of saying Obama was not, why am I supposed to believe this is anything other than the most rank kind of cynicism? Why am I supposed to believe he’s not lying again? He said it, but why on earth… Read.

gruesome
I can’t look at Facebook today. There is so much 9/11 “never forget” death porn that I just can’t stomach it: jet planes flying into the twin towers, or the twin towers collapsing in clouds of pulverized concrete, or people diving from the tops of the towers to their deaths. Surely we can memorialize this… Read.

dreams
I was pretty sure I’d be in Stevens Point by suppertime today. In fact, as I type these words, I was supposed to be checking into a finely-appointed room at the Best Western alongside the exit ramp of the Interstate. Then, after changing from office attire into more comfortable clothes, I would’ve gone out to… Read.

push-ups
At what point do you believe push-ups have occurred? I ask because My Darling B says that we do push-ups when we yoga, but I don’t think we do. We plank, which it the top of a push-up, and we chadurunga, which is lowering from a plank to the floor. I would argue that that… Read.
