Advent 2021 Beer #3

A D&D Commercial that’s too on the nose

Advent 2021 Beer #2

I liked tonight’s beer much more. It seemed “thicker” than most I have ever had and this was definitely a weisse which I prefer. Well, Belgian whites are the best after being in Austin for 27 years. Therefore, I didn’t mind … Continue reading

Advent 2021 Beer #1

This year, Jennifer and I got the jump on Costco’s beer-advent calendar. Seems you have to buy it in the early Fall before they’re all swallowed up! Last year’s “wine” version from Aldi…sucked. I’m not sure if all the beer … Continue reading

Welcome to December 2021!

I decided to just “catch up” and fill in the missing dates in between, again, instead of being like that newspaper from Colonial Days in New England I learned about in college; The publisher only had so much space and … Continue reading

Tomorrow begins the “voluntary” winterization

While the GOP made sure they can dictate what women can do with their bodies, “urban dwellers” have a harder time voting and preventing children from learning the ugly truth about Amerika…they sure as hell didn’t do shit about the … Continue reading

Got my booster shot against CV-19 today

Not sure if the booster is making me tired, the long weekend or the aftermath of Daylight Savings Time ending. Just glad I had it done as Winter will kick in. Can’t get a flu shot though for about four … Continue reading

Why I never went to Larry Flynt’s house for Thanksgiving

RIP Stephen Sondheim

I got into Sondheim late and before then, I was rather oblivious as to who the heck he even was or what was his material while it played in front of me! If you grew up in the Midwest and … Continue reading

Check out my Mandalorian forces!

Just in time for the upcoming Book of Boba Fett next month on Disney+. The one at the center left is wielding a generic sword, not the famous blacksabre Bo Katan needs to reclaim rulership over Mandalore. Thanks again to … Continue reading

Getting through the day

I’m at the half-way point of my day working. Beats being stranded at my parents’ house, bored out of my mind as I spent my teen and college years (sometimes). Other than the gluttonous meal, there wasn’t much else to … Continue reading

The Doctor has declared me “sane” for the holiday stretch!

It wasn’t as if the outcome was in doubt but I like to make sure I make my appointment with my doctor, let him know I am getting better. Better at powering through all the crap cold medicine throws my … Continue reading

So begins one of my favorite, easy weeks at work!

Not well enough to hit the gym yet. Argh! I want to get a headstart on the bloaty meal we Americans are obligated to make and consume this Thursday. I’m pushing to get my weight down to 260 and complete … Continue reading
