Boy, I’ve spent five days in a bad place. Felt nearly normal on Saturday then had a maudlin Sunday and yesterday went into a banging rage over nothing. I was absolutely not ready for human company and no fun at … Continue reading →

First of all, thank you very much for all the comments. I do appreciate it. For the record I know perfectly well that I did the right thing and what I blame myself for is making him suffer through six … Continue reading →

It’s been well over twelve hours and I’m still having trouble processing last night. I’m going to write this now before the tequila I’ve lately been drinking starts processing brain cells. Rather than come up with a long original explanation … Continue reading →

Though it might not break 100 today, we’re still sweating here at the Secret Lair. Torso Boy is not doing well. I don’t believe I’ve ever seen a dog go from apparently perfectly healthy to death’s door so quickly in … Continue reading →

This is … fabulous. I’d say this will make Stephen Stills kill himself just so he can roll in his grave – except I’m told that’s him playing the guitar so what the hell do I know. I’m also told … Continue reading →

I had my whole tale of woe outlined before I wrote the first word but the ending was weak and has been overcome by other matters already mentioned. Naturally the bad news was immediately followed by the hottest heat wave … Continue reading →

The preceding is NOT repeat NOT a bleg. Torso Boy is a cool little guy and if he were two years old rather than pushing ten I’d probably do it. There’s actually a way for poor people to go into … Continue reading →

Can you believe this? I just got back from the vet in the big town about 50 miles away, thanks very much to those who contributed to make that financially possible. And the news is that Torso Boy has cancer, … Continue reading →

Having finished my chicken chores with what amounted to a broken shoulder, I decided Uncle Joel had earned a beer. I went to Ian’ place, where resides the refrigerator that dispenses a limited supply of cold beer. And as I … Continue reading →

Study Finds Most People Just Wearing Masks To Avoid Sea Of Judgmental Glares “Honestly, I couldn’t care less about the ‘rona, but I just want to get in and out and pick up a few groceries without getting glared at … Continue reading →
