They won’t yell my name in Starbucks anymore. Should I change it to “Double Espresso”?
Yes… that’s what they said. But in fact they just liked the loud noises.

I don’t know why Lili Marlene is stuck in my head tonight… but it might be all the Nazi saluting that’s going on.

I woke up from a nightmare last night. From what I can remember… I was working for Randy Rainbow selling used cars. No singing… no politics. Feh… what good is that.

It must be those George-Scithers-style jackets.

I’ll try to dream about something scarier… like high school… from now on.

So, yesterday I drove a 500 mile loop to visit a bunch of stores and do computer things. No wonder my back is bugging me.

I’m too old for this, but the house needs an expensive roof. And more….

You might want to see the hacked website of Gym Jordan before it gets taken down. The hackers did a nice job.

I am eating black-eyed peas in celebration of the new year.

Now, what can I do to encourage Green Day and Taylor Swift to have a friendly contest over voter registration? I always did like Green Day, even if I’m too old to be in the target market.

There ought to be something to do with these, which I seem to generate much too often.

We are in a Doubletree hotel (Hilton) for Windycon. The guest Wi-Fi seems to interfere with connection to Bsky. Fortunately, telco signal is good.

Deer. Tonight. Three of them. Separately. Each looked at me from the side of the road, but didn’t run in to die messily. But one wiggled his(?) ears in greeting.

It looks like the northeastern version of carne asada fries… which is a compliment.

We saw a most excellent production of The Gondoliers (Gilbert & Sullivan), by The Savoyards in Evanston, IL.

One of Leah’s high school classmates played the Duchess of Plaza Toro.

Queen Victoria and I both like that “Regular Royal Queen” number.
