The loser thinks he's king. in A small but passable life.
What about the grizzlies? in A small but passable life.
Less than forty-eight hours until the president elect with the lowest poll rating two days before swearing in in poll history is sworn in. I tried watching some of the hearings, but I couldn’t d...
Mental illness demonstrated! in A small but passable life.
Ken Ham is the perfect example of mental illness. How in the fuck can anyone be so close minded and ignorant as this dumbass?
Finally got out! in A small but passable life.
So, that was a nice walk yesterday. Liam Dog wasn’t awake yet when I headed out at about 4pm. I could have waited but the forecast was predicting rain to start soon. I had to dig out my toque and...
trailertrashgranny! in A small but passable life.
We didn’t go for a walk in the snow. Then the snow melted. It was 68 degrees this past Wednesday. Thursday it was 32 degrees. Yesterday the trees were covered with ice all day. Today it is almost...
Real snow. in A small but passable life.
I woke up the second time this morning thinking “10:18”. It was 10:10. Not bad. I got up and pulled back the towel over the south window. Snow. Snowing. There was already a few inches on the grou...
Another one . . . in A small but passable life.
Well hell. I made it to another year. 2017. Why do people say “twenty seventeen” when it is obviously two thousand seventeen? Recap of 2016- I read only twenty-two books. I sat in this lawn chai...
A good Christmas. in A small but passable life.
About a week or so ago we had some actual December weather with temps below freezing. Yesterday and today it was, is sixty degrees. And last night a narrow band of thunderstorm rolled through. Ch...
Just curious. in A small but passable life.
I’ve finished reading “The Afterlife” by John Updike. I first read it May 1997. Now nearly twenty years later I’m that much closer to the characters in age. I also read it much slower this time I...
I was correct. in A small but passable life.
Continuing with the Updike. Paused enough yesterday to note: 32 degrees here, 71 degrees there, at 2:42pm. And about the same today. And I was correct in my word choice awhile back. On Southpark...
Here and there. in A small but passable life.
10:42am- I woke up this morning and laid there for a bit. The clock in my head was bouncing around between “9:38” and “10:20”. I finally gave up waiting and looked at the travel clock- 10:02. Exa...
Gray days. in A small but passable life.
The squirrels didn’t wake me up this morning. Too cold? I woke up thinking “10:05”. I held my travel clock up (the blue night light button stopped working a long time ago) and eased back the blan...
Just life. in A small but passable life.
Three stages of life: Birth What the fuck is this? Death It was two years ago today that I landed in the desert for the first of four trips during the following year and a half. I didn’t ...
More definitions. in A small but passable life.

Active? in A small but passable life.
The past week I was certainly more physically active than I’ve been in months. Monday morning I went out walking for a couple of hours just to get moving. Tuesday I did the same, but Liam Dog wen...
No NoJoMo here! in A small but passable life.
I finished reading “The Image” by Daniel Boorstin. He published it in 1962 and it is amazing how prophetic it is. Some quotes from the book: “The imposition of power on people’s lives.” (His def...
Electoral College picks worser. in A small but passable life.
I was on the interwebs until nearly 3am last night. I’d watch one episode of “Shameless” (I’m at the end of season 3 now!) and then switch over to another tab running RT’s live election coverage ...
Worse or Worser? in A small but passable life.
Well, today is the day. A vote for worse or worser? Works Word redlined worser. I like it. It stays. I took a few days to read two new novels and got severely behind on my bookmarks here on prose...
Visiting graves. in A small but passable life.
Yesterday morning while be-bopping around the interwebs I stumbled upon a website, findagrave.com. I took the bait. The first data field I filled in was for my paternal grandfather. And within a ...
Greatest show on Earth! in A small but passable life.
A shitshow that is. The thing I’m amazed about is that no one seems to realize that there are no “best” friends of neither him nor her coming to the defense of character. There are spouses and ch...
Pondering, again. in A small but passable life.
The weather has finally turned Fall-like. The first day of Fall was a ninety degree day. Now it has cooled off into seventy degree days. And the nights are now cooling off. The last several morni...
September 18, 2008. Eight years. in A small but passable life.
Yesterday marked the eighth anniversary of this current bout of unemployment. Eight years since the factory closed and I clocked out for the last time. The plan was to max out the twenty-six week...
A rough week. in A small but passable life.
It’s been a rough week. A year ago September 5th was when my little sis died. She’s been in my thoughts quite a bit. So, I’ve tried to keep busy. A week ago, Saturday before last, I found an ema...
That plan, again. in A small but passable life.
Liam Dog and I were up earlier than usual yesterday, before 9am. I put on a pot of coffee and got dressed in street clothes, getting ready to actually go somewhere. After one cup of coffee we too...
Finished the book. in A small but passable life.
After I posted the last entry I realized that I’d forgotten about Tuesday, when the youngsters took me out to eat for my birthday at our favorite hometown barbeque place. Delicious. I finished t...
