  • Coming Soon

    One of the lies I was told as a child is that we are in late stage capitalism. It’s been fifty years since the system was about to collapse. It’s coming soon and the people who believe it won’t hear otherwise. It comes from an older strain that communism is inevitable. It’s been almost a…

  • Leave the Fat in the Fish

    One of the biggest selling points of fish is the fat. If you process it out then the fish isn’t as healthy. Today I was grocery shopping and looked at the fat content of imitation crab. The answer that came back was zero. That’s definitely not what I want. So I put Omega 3 into…

  • Cell Phone Switcheroo

    Up until very recently my cell phone was on Stephanie’s plan. In our efforts to separate from each other I got a new plan and so did she. I kept Cricket as my wireless provider. Today I got my first bill. The amount was what I agreed to, so that isn’t the issue. But the…

  • Record Player

    Yesterday my mother gifted me a compact record player. I already had a few vinyl records to play on it. I have successfully listened to two of those records and am on my third. Glen Campbell this time. The last two were both Anne Murray. Ben slept on the couch through the first album. Ben…

  • Saturday “Fun”

    This morning there was an early knock on the door. It was the artist formerly named Raven (the homeless dude I sometimes talk about). I let him in and went upstairs to get dressed. He helped himself to Ben’s chicken nuggets which set Ben off. Raven/Rick/Ricky is going by the alias River now. He had…

  • Land of the Lost

    I just finished the first season of Land of the Lost. In the final episode “Circle” the Marshalls make it home. I had no clear memory that they had escaped the Land of the Lost, and that’s probably because there were two more seasons which just ignored the true ending. That’s good business considering the…

  • Heavy Hearts

    William came over to do his laundry. I made us Hawaiian bread mini hotdogs. We both enjoyed them and the box is gone. We also talked about the divorce. Stephanie assures him that our family is still “together.” I disagree and I can feel that as much as he wants things to go back to…

  • Two Mounds

    If you have read very much at all on this blog then you know I don’t drive. I was a menace behind the wheel when I was supposed to be learning, and eventually realized the world would be a safer place without me behind a steering wheel. Up until very recently Stephanie did the driving…

  • Weeds and Weed Trees

    Stephanie has abdicated the growing and weeding on the property. I’ve asked the backyard neighbors to see if the garden can be helped or if it just needs to be mowed down. I am taking full responsibility for the weeds and weed trees around the house. I went to Ace, said hi to William, and…

  • Paperwork

    I am a mess when it comes to paperwork. I just can’t focus on it properly to get it right. Stephanie recently served me divorce papers. It should come as no surprise to anyone that she would not help me fill them out. Fortunately my sister and her husband helped me go through them. Sadly…
