Welcome Hermione!
Before 2018 ended, Hermione was born to my co-workers Satya and Joe! They’re huge Harry Potter fans obviously so I hope the darling little girl has the movie character’s huge amount of hair. I’ve never read the books so I … Continue reading
Had a perfect September 2018 in exercise
It’s a new year which means new resolutions and a frequent one everybody makes is to lose weight and/or exercise more. As always, the gyms are a tad crowded. I fizzled out near the end of the year thanks to … Continue reading
Header change was needed
I went with this snapshot of the landscape from Idiocracy as a tribute to the current Federal Government shutdown being caused by the Shitgibbon’s stubbornness. He wants to be true to his racist base despite walls not working, ask the Chinese … Continue reading
Modifying the Header early today
I made all the changes for next month/year today because we will be attending a party held by really nice friends tonight. When I wake up on New Year’s Day is anyone’s guess as I try to get my sleep … Continue reading
We own 26% of the house!
I haven’t posted one of these stories in two years but we did it! After re-financing with University Federal Credit Union to punish the dirtbags at Wells Fargo, we managed to get the balance past the 25 percent point and … Continue reading
Rest in peace Fuff
Sometime this Fall, a sick asshole poisoned my in-laws’ cat which in this era of Uppity Deplorables doesn’t complete surprise me. It’s a huge reason why my cats live indoors and I do whatever I can to rescue the strays … Continue reading
Finally, something new after several weeks
The last thing I posted was Somara’s return from her vacation abroad (Netherlands, Qatar). Besides candy, pictures and memories, she brought back bronchitis thanks to a discourteous traveller on the flight to London, not from, to. Thus, her trip was … Continue reading
Somara is home! Hooray!
The only bad news is that she has a cold, nursing it since Amsterdam. First stop on our way home Friday evening wasn’t dinner (even if Somara was well, too tired to eat) but HEB for NyQuil®, tissues and chicken-noodle … Continue reading
Down but not out or alone
The first culprit on why the site was “dark” for another week can be blamed on the flu. Although I got a flu shot last Friday, I did ask the nurse, I’ve gotten sick despite being inoculated. The response was, … Continue reading
End of a long week
This week was a huge let down in the intelligent, educated (ergo, Librul) parts of Texas. The twin specters of the entrenched Confederacy and lazy non-voters handed my adopted home another four yeas of tyranny under the Republicans. They don’t … Continue reading
This month’s header, They Live turns 30
Given our current state of affairs, it’s only appropriate to celebrate John Carpenter’s social commentary masterpiece, released on this day. The header took a little work to get it to work and I found this anti-Trump one weeks ago. No … Continue reading

Get ready for the deluge of the recent past!
Even before I contracted pneumonia, I was pretty behind on numerous stories, namely all these recent concerts I’ve been attending since Summer, plus a couple movies (which has slowed down my movie attendance as punishment) and what have you. But … Continue reading
My car gave me a good scare
My Prius has optional screens to show different kinds of data via the dashboard. Whenever I’m on the last couple dashes of gas, I tend to set it to the view displaying how many miles the computer thinks I have … Continue reading
New York Achieved!
I made it to the second milestone today via in-door bike! Not too late given my previous bout of pneumonia and lethargic mornings. I also bumped up my caloric goal to 570 (aka the red ring on my Watch), minimal … Continue reading
Rest in Peace Brian Dyorich
While I was away recuperating, my long-time co-worker and friend Brian passed away during surgery. I received the sad news from our fellow co-worker Troy (he’s the guy on the left in the photo above) while I was headed to … Continue reading
