Weird people you know invite you over for a backyard barbecue. That’s the scene. What could go wrong? They pull this out: Hearts and Gizzards. Let the grilling begin.
BONA FIDE BLOGGER WITH VERIFIABLE TRUE STORY
July 29, 2024 by
The idea of a bona fide blogger doesn’t come from O Brother Where Art Thou. They say bona fide, just not blogger. Lately I’ve been working with the words verify and verifiable in terms of truth and bona fide fits right in. So does the word trust. You know the word trust?
READ INSTRUCTIONS, VERIFIABLE INSTRUCTIONS
July 28, 2024 by
We all read instructions before starting things. Or should. But . . . ? You already know what to do? They don’t make sense? No one is telling you what to do?
EMPATHY FEELINGS? LET ‘EM OUT

I grew up thinking good times were the day after I first heard about ‘delayed satisfaction.’ People who wanted it all, and wanted it now, were not realistic. What do you want? All. When do you want it? Now. Why didn’t that work out for me? I had brothers and sisters.
COMPLAIN, COMPLAIN, COMPLAIN
