And another, my second to last one, for this week and me revisiting some creepy or creepy adjacent things of mine on a daily for this Halloween week. Back to April of last year. ////////////////////////////////////////// April 27, 2024 Ricky & I We watched them warily, Ricky and I, and held back at a safe distance… Continue reading

It’s a Frankenberry Monster Cereal Family Time … Again … Again … So Matt … (post post)
Note: revisiting this one from last year, my first Fall here in my role as the Brother Uncle Troll under the stairs, one who doesn’t eat cats by the way (sorry, I know that’s kind of random) as some tails might go, but looks to them, instead, as friends and for emotional support and as… Continue reading

Summer’s End (simple post)
Man, it was such a nice afternoon drive on my way home Friday, especially with a boss guy emailed “go home early, you’re appreciated” most welcome missive, that weather that you wish would just stay year round, an almost perfect perfect where I had my windows and sunroof open wide, the slow fade of another… Continue reading

A New Captain’s Chair To Cardan Four (simple post about a chair)
Finally got myself the new PC chair I’ve been wanting. The old one, though of sentimental value, really needed to be retired, not completely, but at least to a different corner of this room, a sort of studio apartment in my sister’s basement, it has a small fridge an air fryer and a microwave so… Continue reading

Now for reference, I don’t listen to music any longer except in the car, 25 minutes at a… Continue reading

Ma
Been holding off on posting of my mother’s passing here until I wrote something for her. Now what I have here doesn’t even scratch the surface of what she meant to us and our family and her friends, but, like my Dad, who passed around 30 or so years ago now, she was important, so… Continue reading

New Year’s Eve, Stinky Joe and “For the Love of Benji”
(a silly sort of stream ramble) Now I don’t know about you all but I didn’t really have anything in mind for this New Year’s Eve, very much unlike New Year’s Eve’s from recent years past where I, at best, have ended up panhandling on a street corner in the morning or busking with no… Continue reading
