that are wholly unrelated: We’ll be in West Hollywood over the weekend. We just fired off the prescreen for our third visit with the 30 foot anaconda. NTTAWWT
The Real World
life happens here
Pandora’s Box
So I am kid 2 us driving to school. We stop at the Kwik-E-Mart for a beverage and some cash. We hop back in the car. As the car starts, from somewhere, the first few bars of this… start blasting. However, the radio is off (because: kid driving). WTH? Where’s that music from? Kid 2: Dad, that’s you. Yep. It’s me. Pandora…
Freedom Is Slavery
Oakland Cops Have a Spy Tool So Secret They Can’t Discuss It – Deadline Detroit. …Undersheriff Michael McCabe tells The News: “Hailstorm helps us capture fugitives from the law, people wanted for murder and rape” and can be used only with a search warrant. He said the federal Homeland Security Act bars him from discussing Hailstorm, but he elaborated at length about…
The Bible is Like One Big Hallmark Card?
Quoting its verses is like the cards I used to get that said “to a special boy.” It is a substitute for articulating one’s own thoughts. It is a refuge – a sword and shield -for those who cannot string together their own words, or whose convictions need the imprimatur of some supreme being before they’ll let themselves believe it.…
Okay. I need to talk to you when you have a minute.
- The start of that thing you knew was going to happen eventually.
On the bright side
the Bear has jumped out of the pot of slowly boiling water that was life under mom’s roof. So, I declare victory. My kid is out and taking on the world more directly. Yay! Am I thrilled that gaining that measure of independence did not come with true independence (there is a BF/roommate in the picture)? I had higher hopes.…

My lunch, earlier this week: Cranky Old Man: Hello Wendy’s. I would like some crap food. Wendy: We have that!That will be $3.22! Cranky Old Man: OK, here is a 5, a quarter and two pennies.
Too Close To Home
In every sense. I’m driving the thing that is not a redRam 1500 with a Hemi and a touchscreen that I REALLY want car to the office. Around the corner, I see a parked Camry with a critical ass implosion. It’s like my neighbors’ kids after one of their constant DR calls. Plus it’s a Camry: a crash is an improvement.…
How Much is that Lemon Meringue Pie ?
Ahwatukee is where you go when you’ve fucked up once too often in Parasite Valley and when you’re not even welcome in the cut-rate downtown Scottsdale places. The Nellos pizza lounge seemed like a fairly safe haven from our storms. No hassles, no talk. Just a place to rest and regroup. I wasn’t even hungry.
SSDD
In our previous episode, the response to a motion pertaining to a question of Turkish law and procedure had all the information about Turkish law and procedure removed as “irrelevant.” Now it’s just bare bones facts: married/divorce/no judgment in Turkey, as requested. Moe: Wait. This paragraph is too short. Me: It says everything you wanted. Moe: Also, respond to the 11…
