Twenty-five years of Las Vegas, post mortem
What’s really funny about Las Vegas, a city that is always changing…are the elements which have remained the same! You’re probably going, obviously dude! The gambling! The constant hustles! The ugly underside which continues despite the Republicans replacing The Outfit … Continue reading
Talk like a Pirate Day ’22!
Ahoy mateys! It’s one of the goofiest celebrations around and can be difficult to pull off if English isn’t your first language. I’ve learned via my friend Jeremy, the Dutch are stumped even though their ancestors contributed to this wonder, … Continue reading

Well…I have things to work on
Much to my surprise, Jennifer reads this site. I figured she didn’t bother because we live together so she’s already aware of what’s going on in my life. Nope. In short, I hurt her feelings with yesterday’s post/story and I … Continue reading
Coming home from Vegas today/tonight
Had to say goodbye the other day to my new little friend Cee Cee, the lead cat at Tahiti Village hanging out in the landscaping. He was my favorite because he was talkative and slept by a palm tree with little … Continue reading
Woo hoo! September with Vegas coming!
Normally, I’m not thrilled about this month. Sure we get a three-day weekend with Labor Day but it also means Summer is over. On the upside, Austin gradually starts to cool off, the Renaissance Faire is coming, outdoor shows aren’t … Continue reading
America’s Geritocracy gets strengthened
Yesterday, the Democratic Party of Amerika demonstrated how much it really doesn’t give a crap about the future, or democracy, with its flawed primaries. To be fair, the ancient, NeoLiberal, Boomer-dominated faction is to blame, they’re known as the … Continue reading
Jennifer’s new car arrived!
What a thrill too, the Carvana deliver guy was early so I didn’t miss out on any serious amount of work. I’m always impressed by the power of hydraulics lifting and lowering something so heavy. I got to give the … Continue reading
Jennifer will have a new car via Carvana soon
Like most American households, we need two vehicles which is shitty for the planet yet represents how crappy life is here. If you don’t have a car at all, you’re a third-class citizen unless you live in NYC, maybe Boston … Continue reading
Bangui achieved!
I’m catching up thanks to my ongoing streak which hit 47 days in a row and I have arrived at the Central African Republic city of Bangui. No idea what it looks like. The first I heard of the place … Continue reading
Jennifer’s car has been stolen
The reason why my Nichelle Nichols obit precedes this is that I scheduled it via WordPress and our recent adventure was realized this morning. I decided to drive Jennifer to work because she injured her foot yesterday (a nasty cut, it’s … Continue reading
First “perfect” month in half a year!
A job well done for the month of July! Closed all three rings 31 days in a row. I wish I could say I succeeded in them being achieved by cycling 17 miles every time. Today was the exception because … Continue reading
Mileage goal achieved at gym! Five thousand!
Success! I now have 5000 miles logged on this particular type/brand of exercise bike which is what I’ve done about two thirds of my worldwide journey on. I didn’t stick around to see which number/target followed. I had plans, namely … Continue reading
Fifty-four trips around the Sun today
Hard to believe I’ve made it this far! Over 40 years ago, many in Generation X figured the world would be destroyed in a nuclear holocaust as per many Sci-Fi chronologies, even the optimistic Star Trek predicted one by the … Continue reading
Two great goals today!
As you can see from the virtual little prize above, I have closed all three of my rings 26 times in a row but the Challenge was to just pull it off within 31 days so I guess you’d get … Continue reading
Solo living through a long weekend
Yesterday, I dropped off Jennifer and her friend Shannon at the new Terminal Two at Austin’s clusterfuck called our airport. They were flying to San Diego and then driving over to Tijuana today. Shannon is getting some surgery which is … Continue reading
