MOVING FORWARD SLOWLY, BUT MOVING

May 17, 2022 by

If the plan is moving forward, it’s fair to ask, “Moving forward from what?” I was in traffic and saw a 1964 Ford Galaxy. That’s it in the image. Spoiler: It was yesterday, not 1964, though I was a robust ten year old back then. By the time I was in high school the same […]

Retirement Reduction is the new code for dumping stuff. You’ve heard it, I’ve heard it: “Baby boomers need to downsize and stop hoarding.” Has anyone figured out what to toss and what to keep? Discover is here to help, or try to help. It’s as funny as it is helpful.

A tumor report is what you get if you find a tumor. Mike Kelly found one the hard way: I was having trouble finding words, getting them out of my mouth and, to top it all off, I had an episode Sunday night — while we were watching “Call the Midwife” — where I could […]

MAN JUNK FOR THE HE-MAN

May 10, 2022 by

Man junk is a taboo topic to bring up. Especially broken junk. Vasectomy? Same thing. It cuts a little too close to home. HPV neck cancer? Hush your mouth. Or not. Yesterday I wrote about vasectomy, which some men consider less than manly. Today, let’s take it a little further.

HOME STATE HIP REPORT THREE WEEKS OUT

May 3, 2022 by

  My home state is Oregon, the block that separates Washington from California over there on the left coast map of America. If it was South America we’d all be Chile, but that’s not how it worked out. Oregon has been good to me, which I suppose everyone says about where they live. Portland, Oregon […]

April 26, 2022 by

With a Musk Mandate coming maybe it’s a good idea to know more about Elon Musk, THE MAN. A more responsible blogger might dig into biography, astrology, and significant ontology. Or Wikipedia. Come on. The bio reads a little different, but what would you expect.

DRAWING LINES TO LIVE BY?

April 25, 2022 by

Who is drawing lines to live by? Picasso did. Unfortunately, you’re no Picasso, I’m no Picasso, so why bother? We bother with lines and borders for a sense of control like, “Don’t go there, girlfriend.” The big Question Of The Day: Who draws borders when they’re on the same side of the line you’re on?
