Day 19,813
My descendants! How y’all doin’ tonight? I love to compete. I used to love to compete even more when I was more competitive. Seriously. Your youth is all about competition. I think a little bit about qualifying and time trials. Everybody has a place to fit into our society, some towards the center, some towards the fringes. It …

Day 19,812
Where do I start tonight? I’ve had a pretty good day. Got up, made myself a wonderful breakfast with a couple of fried eggs, a couple of pieces of hash browns (frozen, but two runs through the toaster on high got ’em ready), and some precooked, reheated bacon. Throw in a cup of coffee made …

Day 19,811
It’s another day in the world, and the US became a little more hostile today. The FCC ramrodded through, on a 3-2 vote, the eradication of Net Neutrality. I’m a little frustrated. A lot of people in my peer group are frustrated. This is the sort of thing that will affect the elections in 2018. …

Day 19,810
It’s a Wednesday night, I’ve got a belly full of Freddy’s ice cream (they call it a concrete, I call it delicious), and I’m sitting here reflecting on the day. Tomorrow is the vote on Net Neutrality. From my perspective, it’s a way of monetizing (weaponizing?) access to information. I fear that it will create …

Day 19,809
The question tonight is, “How long will it take for Alabama to certify the election of Doug Jones to the Senate?”. It’s been a pretty wild, weird secondary election season, as the state of Alabama has had to elect a new senator to replace Jeff Sessions, the extreme right-wing Attorney General – the much beleaguered Attorney …

Day 19,808
Once in every one thousand days, the tally ends in the three numbers… 8 – 0 – 8. This is the day of BOB! OK, I made that up, just kind of reaching for something to talk about. Some days you have to remember that the world doesn’t revolve around you. A world might revolve …

Day 19,807
Hey gang! Hope you are having a great day, no matter who you are. To review, I’m a 54-year-old father of three, married to a wonderful woman who puts up with my bad jokes and lapses in judgment, and I have two little dogs which combine for about fourteen pounds of canine fluff. My primary focus …

Day 19,806
It has been a wonderful day, and now I’m torn between watching an old Star Trek episode, “Catspaw”, written by a member of the Science Fiction Hall of Fame, Robert Bloch, or just going to bed and snuggling up with your grandmother. Yes, old people still do that. Stop smirking. Today we went to the …

Day 19,805
Man, oh, man. It’s starting to get a little dicey out there in the media. So, to get you up to date. Last spring, the acting director of the Justice Department appointed Robert Mueller, former FBI director, to investigate all of the strangeness surrounding the Trump campaign and their ties to Russia. At the time …

Day 19,804
What’s your favorite food? Seriously. If you were going to make a career out of traveling the world looking for the best “something”, what would it be? Breaded pork cutlet? Cheesecake? Chili? I remember reading (and I could be wrong) the author Robert Fulghum (All I Need To Know I Learned In Kindergarten) would travel all …
