Backups … And A Song – “Me And Covid Down By The Schoolyard”
Well it seems my new PC has bit the dust, my crash cart a plug and an unplug while saying “Stat!” in my head. A few seconds of life then nothing. Now the possible nightmare of customer service begins, it is kind of a roll of the dice, though I have talked with Dell before… Continue reading

A Pamal Men’s Room Review
Someone put this up in the Men’s room here at the station. (most definitely methinks, the work of my production boss Randy) I echo the “great staff” portion of this review though the well dressed, friendly gentleman standing in the corner waiting to hand you a towel can make things a little awkward, even uncomfortable… Continue reading

A Bad Week, A BB Shut Down And An improvised U-Haul Cargo “Sedan”
Well, this has not been the best of weeks so the finally sit on a Friday evening with the girls now couldn’t have come fast enough, which it didn’t by the way. It was a slow fucking molasses crawl. It started (after my four day weekend short mini stay-as-always-cation where I truly enjoyed myself and… Continue reading

Senta
Celie told me yesterday that Senta might be coming to the end of the road which is so heartbreaking. She is the introspective one of the two big, and I mean big, wolf size big, German Shepard girls who have been such a constant for me ever since I moved in here going on three… Continue reading

Gettin’ Late For Democracy (song)
I’m not a huge fan of this one (maybe it’s the ending I don’t like, the ‘added’ lyrics after the actual song would normally be done) and, as I said in my last post, I was just gonna dismiss it, dismiss it as simply time spent trying. All about the trying right? But I just… Continue reading

Hey, Uncle Frank … Wanna Go For A Drive?
I text myself a lot. No, not in a pathetically sad way to just see a little notification number and appear I have friends thank you … it’s just a sort of phone post-it note, an electronic little piece of sticky yellow paper ”stuck” to my phone reminding me of a thought I woke up… Continue reading

A Fascist Truth Sledgehammer … The EP (7 songs)
So I decided to put my recent musical endeavors into one post, an “EP” of sorts, and yes, I’ve been on a bit of Paul Simon kick lately. It’s tunes and a few words getting stuck in the head for whatever reason, karaoke versions found and new lyrics written. I’ve said this in posts in… Continue reading

It’s NOT A Freakin’ Portal!!
When I recently had an allergic reaction to a medicine I’ve been taking for just a short period of time that blew my face up into a bulbous early Halloween costume winner I was relieved by a couple of things. One, there was the relief after the urgent care Doc gave a diagnosis, that was… Continue reading

“Hi, I’m Joe Frankenberry From New York” … (for Dad)
When I was a kid my heroes were sports stars, specifically baseball and a couple of Pittsburgh Pirates, Richie Zisk and John Candelaria. That’s all I thought “heroes” were, not knowing yet that there was way more to the definition of the word than just that one thing and, not knowing this yet, I never… Continue reading
