So, usually when I get home from a long trip–particularly one that was sort of exhausting. I have a couple of days of downtime and recovery and, you know, lots of long naps. Not so much this time. The kids had a performance on Wednesday–at a nursing home, so that was really very sweet (those… Read More

I know–I write a post with this title about six times a year. Still– as dusty and decrepit as it is, this home is mine, and I’m comfortable here. Anyway– *phew* That was some trip! I was sort of busy pimping  Fish on a Bicycle before I left, so I know I didn’t give details!… Read More

Does everybody remember the Namaste lady? The lady I delighted by explaining what it would mean if our Traitor in Chief were rotting with syphilis from the inside out? I made her truly happy, I think–she said it was the happiest she’d been in three years, thinking about his flesh rotting from his bones in… Read More

“Now ma’am, try explaining it one more time.” “Well, let’s see– it was just such a busy day. I was running around, getting the car looked at, getting batteries for the remotes, shopping, picking up kids…” “Now you say you were shopping?” “Yes sir–it’s been a while. I mean, we had frozen food, but sometimes… Read More

Sometimes Birthdays are everything they’re supposed to be–cake, ice cream, parties, a big to-do and a week where you can eat everything you want and not gain weight. And sometimes birthdays are mired in the same sad, struggling everyday shit that threatens to get the best of us most days of the year–tricky finances, fender… Read More
