  • Ma, Gratitudeyness & Annoyances

    So now that we’ve gotten all gratitudey … and eaten, I think it’s safe to possibly air out some annoyances. I was gonna do it yesterday but I didn’t want to step on all this gratituding going around, especially when it was so well called for, so necessary in such a sad, sad year as… Continue reading

  • Sheer Keyboard’s Thanksgiving Thought

    It’s been a long year, a too long a year filled with too many painful reminders of how fragile this all is. I wrote a lot of words last night given the time of an extra day/night (a favorite of things), getting lost in waaaaay too many of those words that kept me up, but… Continue reading

  • Little Stuffed Black & Gold Football

    Ok, we’ll call this being on kick.   A cure of the tired tired, or at least a treatment.   Besides that Juan and John laminated grade school picture art project that I posted of earlier I have another piece of something that has always been with me.   The Steelers had always been a… Continue reading

  • Art Project

    Just because I’m tired, tired. When I was a kid, in grade school, we had an art project. I was maybe 7 or 8 years old. The project was to find a picture that meant something to us and we were going to laminate it (you also had to find something to laminate it on… Continue reading

  • Batshittery

    As Hollywood screenwriters and those that specialize in surreal dark humor shake their heads in frustration knowing that no matter how good they are at what they do they will never be as good as the reality that is the batshittery of the Rudy Traveling Medicine Show, where the only thing missing from this latest… Continue reading

  • Curing a Cat of Hiccups & Other Tails

    The other day I posted to Facebook an imagined thought from old, quirky girl Mimi, with a picture of her sitting at my hip, as she often sits, on the Shoes chair, asking me to maybe write at my blog something about cats. “Mimi says I should write something at my blog about cats. I… Continue reading

  • Song Of Lie (song)

    (to the tune of “Walk Of Life” – Dire Straits) Though I was hoping for a new found lack of material with an Orange loss,  there is still, sadly, more to be had.  Future dreaming despots don’t go down easy it seems, especially when they’re enabled.  I’m not really sure of this one really like… Continue reading

  • Simple

    It’s a weird day. When you’ve spent so much time railing it’s weird to not have to rail any longer, or at least for five minutes. When a number of Me’s, or at least a greater number of Me’s than the number of them’s said enough. When these Me’s said can we catch a break… Continue reading

  • American Sigh (song)

    (to the tune of “American Pie”) Day 17 of my 17 days of Trump parodies. This is it, the big one today. A day of anticipation and also dread. Do we go with a creeping autocracy or something with a bit of hope? So, on this last day, I’ve got one more parody tune to… Continue reading

  • A Talk With A Friend

    I’ll give him credit. The dude has hung with me for going on 15 years now, I’m sure shaking his head on occasion after yet another phone call of me ranting my nutty and positing of what we should do now and who we should condemn. From Rob Manfred pissing me off as he fucks… Continue reading
