Why I blame parochial school, July 2019 Edition
This afternoon, I was invited to a birthday scavenger hunt at the last minute; I could blame FaceBook but I won’t because I despise it. Anyway, as I was rushing along the newer north end of the Domain, I found … Continue reading
Dental Work #1: Cleaning the right side
Yesterday was the kickoff of actual work on the 2019 campaign to fix up my teeth. Before anything can be done regarding those front ones I broke, the dentist insists on cleaning them up. Today was the fun, deep cleaning … Continue reading
Picking up my new car today!
This has gone amazingly quickly and smoothly, until the first payment and/or how much our insurance will get jacked! Even so, I’m pretty excited…oddly. Last night, Somara and I finished work in time to make it up to Round Rock … Continue reading
RIP: Ross Perot
The news and obits will obviously go on and on and on about his failed presidential bid in 1992. They will also push the ongoing lie about how Perot “gave” the election to Clinton by stealing away Bush’s votes. Bullshit. … Continue reading

Rest in Peace Nemo
Nemo breathed his last in Somara’s arms Wednesday night (July 3, 2019) as we were taking him to a 24-hour hospital to put him to sleep, end his misery. Such a shame too. The poor guy just recently celebrated his … Continue reading
Rest in Peace Vixen (Oct. 10, 2013 – June 27, 2019)
As per what I previously wrote, there will be a gap in the “now” and “then” for a while. Right now I will cover the whole debacle here since I had my conversation with GEICO and received the sad news … Continue reading
Welcome to July with a shift in timeliness
For the last couple months I have been digging out slowly while sticking mostly to the chronological series of events with the exception of keeping the header art, color scheme and my exercise progression updated. Given the events of last … Continue reading

We own 27% of the House!
Milestone number two reached with UFCU as our mortgage holder or lender or both? Who cares, they’re doing a great job and they don’t do immoral things like Wells Fargo, Bank of America, Citibank, Chase, Capital One or Deutsche Bank … Continue reading
I sort of made the REF save…
…but my poor car Vixen failed the FORT roll. It’s late and it’s been a long, frustrating evening so all I will say is we had a car accident but we are perfectly fine. We had our seat belts on, … Continue reading
Ouch! My teef! Part 2: The Dentist’s assessment
While I was grateful the dentist could see me yesterday near the end of my shift, I knew the news would be crummy but I hate it when all the other jazz comes into play. Yes, I haven’t been to … Continue reading
Ouch! My teef!
“Just what we need!” to paraphrase Somara which was also very little comfort yesterday as I showed her what happened when I fainted yesterday. Fainted? I’ve been feeling off, mostly bed-ridden so I should’ve taken my time heading to the … Continue reading
Current streak ends at 73 days
The exercise streak I established at some point in April came to a crashing end with yesterday being the final day. There was no injury or anything. I just had a mental setback as the whole afternoon of 6/13 transformed … Continue reading
Two of my latest exercise records achieved today
You’re in luck, as the title says, two of them happened in one day so you don’t have to be bored by a pair of entries! I have cycled over 1500 miles this year. It not quite as impressive as … Continue reading
3000 miles!
Today I made it to the 3000-mile mark for my cumulative mileage on an exercycle! I should be closing in on 4000 somewhat faster as June is the month I implement a new strategy to achieve 100 miles per week, … Continue reading
Time to buy a new ‘fridge, ugh, boring!
After 18 years of solid service…and very little cleaning of its back coils, our first and very loyal refrigerator crapped out. When exactly? Not sure but I found out yesterday afternoon when I got up from my anger nap (another … Continue reading
