Hi there. It’s me, the biggest absentee blogger in history. Since I started going back to the office, even though I have more energy thanks to ol’ Santa the CPAP machine, I can’t seem to find the time to write, even though I have a great heap of ideas. So…um…it’s 2024. I say this every …

All I Want For Christmas Is Words, Goats And A Chicken
I’ll be honest here. The last little while, I’ve been having a hell of a time with the part of my brain that comes up with thoughts and words and then turns them into blog posts. I don’t exactly know why and I doubt I ever will, but it’s happening and it’s frustrating. Perhaps the …

My Husband Loves His Family, Because He Is A Weird, Broken Person
I don’t spend a lot of time reading advice columns anymore, but now and then I’ll see a headline that catches my eye and I’ll check it out. Such was the case with “My husband has no ‘bros.’ Should I be worried?”, and I’m not sure whether or not I’m glad I did. In a …

Secret Secret, I Got A Secret

The Heat Is On
Maybe I’ve asked this before. I don’t know and I have no idea how I would begin finding out. So can someone explain to me the complexities that go into turning the heat for an entire apartment building on and off? Is it harder than click? I hope it is, because in spite of the …
A Post
Coming to you live from one of our nice lawn chairs that some dickhead pigeons have pecked the hell out of, it’s…a post about stuff! Yay! Right now you’re all sharing my first nice weather beer of 2023 with me. Thank you for being here. It means the world. And before you ask, no, I …
It’s Dog-Bringing Home Time!
I knew that when the call finally came, I would be in shock and running in circles like a dog chasing its tail. I am, and more. GDB called me today and offered me a class date. Yes. I am headed to get guide dog no. 4 on April 23, graduating on May 6. Holy …
Let’s Talk About 2022
As I sit here in the middle of January of 2023, I guess I should try and reflect on 2022. I meant to do this on New Year’s Eve, but I just didn’t manage it. So since it seems I do everything late, here it is. The funny thing is I don’t know what to …
When Did I Find A Monkey’s Paw?
At about halfway through this year, I started to think that I had picked up a monkey’s paw. The basic premise of the Monkey’s Paw story is the paw can grant you wishes, but they all have hellish consequences. Here’s why I thought I had picked up a monkey’s paw. As spring rolled on towards …
