The Boys of Summer

It’s that fabulous time of the year again. Spring. And with Spring comes Baseball! The big leagues are playing, fans are back in most stadiums in some capacity, and Mason is playing too! Very much playing. On 4 teams! So the schedule is pretty hectic, and it seems like all I’m doing is driving to this practice, or that game, or some other field. But I love it. Which Susie loves to remind when I start to complain about all the running....

Taken for a Ride

Took my car to get inspected today. Wow. Last April I hit a deer on my way to work and took my car to Connor’s Auto Body. They repaired the body and the front passenger suspension system which was damaged at a cost of almost $2,400 out of my pocket. Today my car cost another $935 to repair that same suspension system. The. Exact. Same. Parts.(!) So what the fuck did I pay Connor’s for?...

The Republican Party is in Danger

The republican party is at war with itself. Two factions, the old conservatives and the new radicals. As I’m writing this Kevin McCarthy is holding a party meeting to discuss the fate of two Congresswomen, Liz Cheney and Marjorie Taylor Greene. To illustrate the polar ends of the party, Cheney who is the 3 most powerful Republican is taking heat for voting to impeach Trump for the 2nd time after his fiasco at the capital....

State of The Union

Here’s the truth. The election wasn’t rigged or stolen. It was free, fair and not at all fraudulent. The results were certified by all 50 states, affirmed by congress, and had the single best turnout ever. Trump started to sow the seeds of doubt in early 2020, saying that any election he didn’t win was “rigged”, attacking mail-in votes as fraudulent and illegal, all while voting by mail himself. The reason for that?...

An Historic Day

Usually you don’t know you’re living through a day that will make history. Although some exceptions do exist, like September 11, 2001. But today is one of those days. Two life-altering things happened today. First, American health care workers started to receive the Covid vaccine, and that is truly amazing. From pandemic to vaccine in less than a year is just miraculous! And second, the Electoral College affirmed Joseph R Biden as the President-Elect of the United States of America....

When it Hits Home

So my ex-wife took my son golfing yesterday with her bestie, then they went to dinner and went to her bestie’s house. She then dropped him back off last night. This morning (on my birthday) her bestie called me and told me her sister, brother-in-law, and nephew were all confirmed positive for COVID and they were together the previous night, with her nephew sleeping over. So now my son was to quarantine, I’m on vacation this week and will have to quarantine, and we will go for tests later this week....

The Scourge of Social Media

In 2018 around the time of the primary elections I started to sour on Facebook. My Twitter account had been dormant for almost 2 years. More and more I started to get upset by the posts on FB. Peoples views and opinion were being expressed more every day. It was becoming a political hotbed. I instantly grew tired of the posts that weren’t memes, and that didn’t make me laugh. I thought, “Why would you people post that shit here and ruin a fun place?...
