I’m 53 today. I legit feel old. Winter birthdays suck compared to the lovely May through Oct stretch. I can’t (don’t want to) go out & even attempt to do something fun. And also, see my last post re cabin fever. And I have a beard, which is now mostly white. I’m closer to 80 than I am to college.

Wife & I have been working from home since Mar. 2020. We have no issues seeing each other a lot (which is obv good!), & we can talk about household stuff & plan & walk the dog. But it’s weird when it’s cold AF & our patio has 10” of snow. I’m the Suburban Recluse, but even I get cabin fever.

I started working at 7:00 and I blinked. It’s now 11:00.

When a big snow storm is coming and you go around d the house doing things like dusting and straightening books on shelves and other stuff that has nothing to do with warmth and survival. 😂

My life is exciting. Wasting my time complaining about a cleaning lady.

These days a Breaking News pop up on your phone can be anything from
Stranger Things collaborates with Burger King on a new type of onion ring.
to
Trump declares war on France, declaring “We will destroy your weak country swiftly.”
Fun times.

I had a dream that there was a silver coin vending machine which sold coins for a ridiculously cheap price. You put in 4 quarters and get a fat silver coin worth far more than $1.

“Suits”… attractive people who are incredibly bright solving complex problems while wearing expensive clothes.
My law practice … old tired guy wearing a Costco hoodie while writing out a check for $1.62 for client medical records.
Practicing law … it’s just like on TV.

Completely unrelated to my cleaning lady rant, I just mis-typed the word “service” as “cervice” and it reminded me of “crevice.” 😂

For 15 years my cleaning lady has been parking in a spot in the driveway that gives us access to both garage doors. Out of the blue, a few months ago, she just starts parking in front of the garage doors. I told her then that she must park where she has alway parked. I explained why…

I don’t have any crazy stories or Scroogish comments about this Christmas. But the adult gift giving remained awkward and unnecessary. My BIL’s sister (my wife’s sister’s husband’s sister) who we don’t really know well or see is literally on the verge of bankruptcy. And she got us a $25 Amazon card.

Today’s the day! … the day we learn nothing. We will be in the same place with Epstein tomorrow at 10:00am.
The Epstein stuff won’t be Trump’s downfall. His ineptitude about the economy will be. Raise your hand if you think the country’s jobs and prices will be kicking ass in nine months.

Is Epstein stuff really getting released tomorrow? Or will it just … not be released? Or will all/some be released but as a mass of blacked out redacted documents?
Serious question.

Heady few days. Brown shooter just 2.3 miles from my son’s college. We had a neighborhood lurker Saturday night and when a neighbor called the State police, the Statie (from the barracks a mile away; we don’t have a police force) never showed up. Australia shooting. Reiner murdered. This world. 😡

There’s an insane amount of food waste this time of year. You have 7 friends over for a small holiday get-together. Drinks. A few food items. And they show up with like hundreds of cookies & chocolate peanut cluster things & donuts. More sweets than my wife and I eat in a year….

As you know, my cleaning lady has been terrible for the last year or so (after 10+ years of outstanding service). She cancels about one out of three times, always at the last minute. This week she just never showed up. My wife texted her. She’s in Poland. She never told us…

Now soccer is truly done. Banquet a couple of nights ago. The departing seniors. Soccer was a big part of our lives for the last 12 or so years.

I still rant and rave on a couple of anonymous Twitter/X accounts. Really unhinged stuff. Do you all do this? I never fully left Twitter.

It’s weird being unlocked. I suppose people could stumble upon what I’ve written. Like when I said our friend was pissed when we surprised her for her birthday. I guess she’d have to go on here and do a really specific word search to find that. Or the widow of the guy who drove into the house.

Earlier, I alluded to the crazy things that have happened adjacent to me. My good friend (X) from college married Y. She had an affair w/ another guy (Z) we went to college with. Z gave Y an STD and she was worried she gave it to X & that would get Y & Z caught. Y & Z dosed X’s sushi w/ antibiotics

My niece, in MA, applied to colleges in the stretch of PA through GA. She has gotten into colleges in NJ & NC and is waiting on more in PA, VA, NC, SC.
My MIL *cannot* wrap her brain around this. She says “I think she’ll end up somewhere in Mass.” Uhh, no. She didn’t apply to any colleges in MA. 🙄
