Just an old fart with a phone. Enjoy bourbon, blues, classic rock, and other music, sci-fi, audiobooks, Civ VI (and soon, Civ VII!), cooking with cast iron, and a whole lot more.

On December 31, 1999, I had my family fill out a questionnaire with their predictions for the next 25 years.
Tonight we opened up our 'Y2K' time capsule. What a hoot! Lots of bad predictions from all of us!

I honestly don't remember the last time I actually bought something on Black Friday or Cyber Monday.

Am I doing Capitalism wrong???

This is the day that I get up off my ass and do something about that nap I didn't take a few weeks ago.

I walked out the door to go to work this morning and immediately felt like I was with Sulu, stranded on Alfa 7. 🥶🖖

Today I learned that Sting sang the "I want my MTV" part of Dire Straits' "Money for Nothing ".

Not only that, it's the exact same melody as Sting's Don't Stand So Close to Me".

My current coping method is reading the comic "Absolute Superman," a new take on the Big Guy that plays with his origin a bit.

Oh, and bourbon.

Horror movie idea: Orange guy wins, doesn't make it through full term and JD takes over.

The urgent care front desk had a cool Betelgeuse pumpkin set up at the front desk. Of course, I wouldn't have seen it if My wife hadn't cut her hand while making dinner. (Don't worry, she'll be fine.)

Lyric of the Day:

Say something sweet, say something funky, just let me lay back and feel like a monkey...

(Say Something Sweet/Brickyard Blues)
Allen Toussaint 1973

Yeah, it feels like that kind of day today

Just started watching season 2 of Reacher. Main Bad Guy is played by Robert Patrick, AKA the T1000. One of his underlings has the alias of Sarah Connor. 😂

You might be an old fart if you've decided to go out for a beer or two on a Friday night, then 15 minutes later decide that nah, it's almost 9:30, I gotta get some sleep...

Feeling a bit taller this morning...

With retirement getting closer, I am finally looking at shuttering my website. I've hosted a few blogs over the years, but mainly took advantage of the seemingly infinite number of email addresses I could create. Adding a new email address was so much easier than actually having to manage my inbox!

Anyone else here the same kind of introvert as me? You know, the kind that signs up for almost every social media platform and posts maybe once or twice a year?

Ok, I'm starting to get the lay of land. Now for the tricky part - actually coming up with something to say! Hopefully that shouldn't be too tough around here. You all look like a friendly group!

Finally here. What do I need to know and when do I need to know it?
