Blind

Friday, June 30th, 2006

     Okay, folks, you’re going to have to forgive me any goofy typos that show up for awhile. For the first time in twelve or thirteen years, I’m in glasses, and I can’t see a goddamn thing.
     Sunday, I came down with a nasty little cold. I waited a few days to see if it was something [...]

Don’t Go Away Mad, Girl, Just Go Away.

Saturday, June 24th, 2006

     So, I’m sitting on the computer this afternoon, putzing away, and Rhea’s on the phone with the husband. The husband is coming up to Michigan to give her money and see her. I’m listening with half an ear, and suddenly, I realize she’s giving him instructions to get to our house.
     The husband had threatened Art, [...]

The Problems of Elderly Gaming Groups

Friday, June 23rd, 2006

     Once again, no gaming session last night. But, Adamczykon did show up for a couple of hours. He’d left us a phone message saying that he wasn’t cleared to drive, yet, and that if we could give him a ride, he’d come over.
     We made a very nice dinner, BBQ’d steaks, redskins roasted on the grill, [...]

Wednesday Riddles

Thursday, June 22nd, 2006

From Riddlenut: Which word that begins with the letter I, and by adding the letter A, becomes another word that is pronounced the same?
Highlight for the Answer: Isle and Aisle.
     Yes, yes, I know. Technically, it’s now Thursday. But, I haven’t been to bed yet, so, as far as I’m concerned, it’s Wednesday night. Either [...]

Mallard Fillmore

Wednesday, June 21st, 2006

     So. What the duck is saying here is that an “actual conservative” looks like a lying, hypocritical, woman-hating, warmongering, drug addict. Right. Just so we have that straight.

The Greenhorn and the Mule Egg
as retold by S. E. Schlosser
     Well now, there was a chap that got real sick of working in the big city. One day, he quit his job, packed up his wife and kiddies, and hi-tailed it out to Kansas to become a farmer. Bought a big parcel of land with [...]

Punday Night: Hair Dressers

Monday, June 19th, 2006

From Pun of the Day:
Jane lived in Hollywood, California, and Julie lived in Miami, Florida. They both could afford to have their hair done by Pierre in St. Louis. One day they both decided to have their hair done. They both called Pierre but he told them that he had only one spot left and [...]

Wherein We Decide To Build A Fire Pit, And Don’t.

Saturday, June 17th, 2006

     Yesterday, we got together with my family and my brother’s family, to celebrate my brother and his wife’s anniversary. We went to a buffet in town (after a crazy pre-buffet scramble on our part to get my paycheck, deposit it, get cards, and get gift cards, during rush hour traffic, across town, in extremely tempting [...]

The Dogs Are Right — Begging Does Work!

Friday, June 16th, 2006

     We had a pretty good day, yesterday. Gaming has been temporarily suspended due to Adamczykon having had back surgery, and having to be “out sick” for awhile. He was running our Mage game. We all thought he’d be back by now, but he hasn’t been in touch, and he hasn’t shown up. (Typical for Adamczykon. [...]

Welcome to Coffee House Poetry.

Thursday, June 15th, 2006

Right. New blog, new website, lots of new toys that I haven’t the first clue how to use. Isn’t that great? We’ll learn together, assuming anyone ever comes along to read this.
My, my, where to start. Let’s see. I started blogging at LiveJournal about six years ago. LJ started out great, and had lots of [...]
