Mission #5623 in A small but passable life.
Drama on PB. Caused by an asshole, like always. Let’s hope karma bites hard. Mom’s birthday dinner went well. I hadn’t realized it until we were seated that a year ago Mom and I had went to the v...
Sitting right here, again. in A small but passable life.
At 12:19pm today it was 94 degrees here and 49 degrees back home. I had another good nights sleep last night. I slept with the windows open again. I went through all the financial stuff with Mom...
Exit 198 in A small but passable life.
I did manage to finish “The Eleven Million Mile High Dancer” by Carol De Chellis Hill (a re-read) before I left. That’s twelve books for the year so far. The flight West went off without a hitch....
Two hours to go. in A small but passable life.
3pm. Two more hours until my ride to the airport. Everything is packed away. The check-in bag ended up weighing 36 point something pounds. The scale I used is a digital scale so hopefully it is a...
Not me. in A small but passable life.
It’s just not funny anymore. It’s just pathetic. Pathetic and sad. And a bit disgusting. MSM of course loves it for the revenue stream. I’m satisfied in the fact that no matter what happens I can...
Still too much! in A small but passable life.
Daughter and I got out and about Tuesday. We went to Lowe’s where I bought a five foot piece of 1½” Schedule 40 plastic pipe and two caps. That will complete a project I’ve meant to do for years....
I think not. in A small but passable life.
Saturday the high temp here was 46 degrees. Today it is above 80 degrees. I’m making progress with the sorting and packing. I zipped up the big check-in suitcase and dragged it downstairs to put...
One more week. in A small but passable life.
It seems as if the weather is mocking me, knowing that a week from tomorrow I may not experience this brand of weather for a long time. It has been cool, overcast, rainy, and thunder storming for...
Annoyingly so. in A small but passable life.
Mom called a week or so ago. And of course she told a tale that was weeks old. She had fallen, again, but decided she was fine. Then later, weeks later, she was hurting and decided to call an amb...
Too much. in A small but passable life.
Honestly, I need to stay away from the news sites on the interwebs. A small town of about 8000 folks in Wisconsin. A 65 year old man calls 911 for medical assistance. The pigs get there before t...
Strange times. in A small but passable life.
How about that whole United Airlines thing? Crazy, eh? I’m still wondering how the terrorists got past the TSA. They were dressed like terrorists and were even openly displaying weapons. But yet ...
I, on the other hand . . . in A small but passable life.
Dan Quayle and DJT. in A small but passable life.

Another book. in A small but passable life.
I found an email Wednesday from the library. A book! A new book! After my morning coffee I took off walking to fetch it. While I was there I ordered another book off my list. I spent the rest of ...
Evolution of the peepshow? in A small but passable life.
Sunday before last I was up 2.2 lbs. in mass. This Sunday I was up .2 lbs. Not sure what happened there with that nearly three pound weekly loss a few weeks ago. I eat and defecate about the same...
Not a word. in A small but passable life.
I finished reading “A Most Improbable Journey: A Big History of Our Planet and Ourselves” by Walter Alvarez yesterday. That was the book I’d checked out last Monday. I’m still waiting for two boo...
Very strange weather? in A small but passable life.
Sunday morning after waking up at my usual 10am I pulled back the blanket over the window and found huge snowflakes falling from the sky. It wasn’t accumulating as the ground was much too warm. B...
Holey socks. in A small but passable life.
I’m still sitting here. I finished reading “The Wrecking Crew: How Conservatives Rule” by Thomas Frank. He’s the guy who wrote “What’s the Matter With Kansas?” His predictions have come true in K...
No Winter? in A small but passable life.
I had to look to see when I’d last scribbled in here. Sixteen days ago. Wow. Okay. Where was I? Monday before last Liam Dog and I walked to the library to check out the two books waiting for me. ...
Indeed. in A small but passable life.
I finished reading “The Kingdom of Speech” by Tom Wolfe. An interesting overview on the phenomena for sure. Wednesday I walked downtown to the library to return the book. I also ordered two more ...
Popped his cherry! in A small but passable life.
Barely into his second week as Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces of the United States and he’s killed his first U.S. service member and an eight year old girl. This occurred in Yemen. I don’...
Here we go! in A small but passable life.
Another book. in A small but passable life.
