Roe v Wade–finally dead
I know that a bunch of folks are going to be commenting on this, but thought I’d add my .02. I was six years old when Roe v Wade came down. I grew up with it along with the litany of ‘my body, my choice’ and saw the beginnings of dehumanizing babies to ‘just a… Continue reading

If there was a Publix around here, I'd shop there
Publix Food and Pharmacy, a large southern chain of grocery stores, will NOT be offering the covid gene therapy shot for children and babies under five years old. And they aren’t going to comment about it or address it in the press, which I think is the wise choice. On the flip side, CVS is… Continue reading

Lord Buttigieg hath decreed that airlines shall hire more workers
The little whiner was inconvenienced because his flight from DC to NYC was canceled and he (gasp) had to drive it. Now leaving aside the fact that I doubt he was behind the wheel of that big ol’ Escalade for the five hour trip, it was okay for the peons to have their plans disrupted… Continue reading

An elegant solution–Bravo Mr. Chappelle
You may or may not know that Dave Chappelle went to the Duke Ellington School of the Arts in Washington, D.C. The school was going to name its new theater after him (since he helped raise a sizable amount to build it) but some students started raising a ruckus about Chappelle’s The Closer Netflix special.

When it seems like a win, but…..
FINA (international swimming) is changing its rules so that anyone who has gone through puberty as a male cannot compete in their women’s divisions. Which sounds good. However (and I’m glad they note this in their announcement), they indicate that this is not/should not be an impetus for children to ‘transition’ early. “They’re not saying… Continue reading

Skillz… he did not have them
Yesterday took surreal to 11 when a new neighbor said he had an opossum in his garage. Not outside the realm of possibility so I go to check. Turns out it was a ferret. Other new neighbor has a couple of ferrets that keep getting outside so I put two-and-two together. Someone who was moving… Continue reading

Father's Day–My Three Dads
Most people just get one father. I have three: the one that sired me, the one that raised me, and the one who has been there for me to act as a sounding board and a source of strength. From the dad who sired me I got the gift of gab, a love of hot… Continue reading
