Just the news, big deals, not-so-big deals, birthday, anniversaries, announcements, mostly timely stuff. The news that applies to the personal world around me, not what you watch on cable or listen to on the radio.

Posted on December 30, 2023 by Steve

 I miss the days when my French was really starting to congeal before Patricia left for home (France) and as I deal with my struggles in Italian, this video made me laugh while getting me to realize, oh! Then … Continue reading →

The divorce is now 100% over

Posted on December 29, 2023 by Steve

The good news, we’re still friends because we want to be, not that we’re forced to as other former couples due to childcare or real estate. Even then, I think some animosity remains in those situations. I wouldn’t really know … Continue reading →

Posted on December 28, 2023 by Steve

I wish I could’ve kept up the streak of no politics for the holiday break but the Republican circle jerk to defeat Orange Foolius and then Grampa’ Branch is too ripe not to mock. In an attempt to gain the … Continue reading →

Ewww! Cat Breath!

Posted on December 23, 2023 by Steve

This picture of us together for the cat slack channel was ruined by her yawning and the cloud of cat-food fueled stench. Klothos is a cute little creature yet her breath punches up to the adult level. Good thing she … Continue reading →

Counselor Peggy, I need to defend my Quv for Strickland!

Posted on December 22, 2023 by Steve

It’s rather funny too. Hank Hill would be the most mild-mannered Klingon known in the galaxy since he’s a rather kind, rational guy despite not wanting to express nor show his true feelings. Given his love of propane and all … Continue reading →

Posted on December 12, 2023 by Steve

Last doctor visit for the year and I’m feeling pretty good. It was then great to have the doctor’s seal of approval on it. Now if I could just get the better feelings to spread to others where and when … Continue reading →

Reason why Biden will lose #2

Posted on December 11, 2023 by Steve

The poll numbers continue to look shitty for Grampa’ Brunch, however, I don’t sweat them and nor should anyone. The Bilary apologists just need something to crank up their litany of “So…you want Trump!” crap, the media needs eyeballs to … Continue reading →

Now you can recreate the adventure kids!

Posted on December 10, 2023 by Steve

What better way to remember one’s failed vacation to Madrid! There you were dreaming of enjoying authentic tapas and looking up the landmarks from your Spanish textbooks, all ruined thanks to that Hershey-squiring clod.

Posted on December 7, 2023 by Steve

This sad crap opinion piece from their deep bench of tone deaf Neo-Liberal apologists and stooges demonstrates why we must be at late-stage Kapitalism, it plans to take us all down with it before a stake is put through its … Continue reading →

Welcome December 2023!

Posted on December 1, 2023 by Steve

Damn, the current year is almost over and it has been a pretty solid one too. In many ways I hate to see it end. This month’s header is a nod back to the Seventies when I really, really wanted … Continue reading →

Eye transplant succeeded!

Posted on November 24, 2023 by Steve

Again, I need to give a little better, lighter news. Although this happened some time ago, even in the The Guardian, I think it’s awesome and a great sign of progress! The guy who had the surgery deserved this opportunity, certainly … Continue reading →
