it's a convoluted mess
I’ll continue to be my worst enemy… October. Something, something, the end of the month. One day recently we were in the car, and I was singing along to Fall Out Boy, like I do, and in the middle of Hold Me Like a Grudge, Bob asked, “How long did it take you to learn this song*?” Because, in true Patrick Stump fashion, it is a mouthful. That man is incredibly difficult to keep up… Keep reading…Maxed out like a credit card…
Effortlessly… February. A month rife with baggage. January was a smear. We all know how the news has been and we’re not going to talk about that horror show. I don’t need to get put on a watch list for the things I have to say about it all. My brain is not so much mush anymore, it’s more like pulverized pulp leaking out my ear. It is useless. Anyway. Windows 11 forced a version… Keep reading…It shouldn’t be so hard just to be…
Happy Halloween? It certainly wasn’t The Halloween Blizzard of 1991 (TM), but Minnesota was still very Minnesota-y for the occasion. Pouring rain that turned into snow that turned into slush.

[ Bright Lights ] Matt Nathanson released a new song. A love letter to his… Keep reading…The charge is reading low…
It’s August. July is the worst and it’s finally over, but then there’s still August and that’s just pouring isopropyl in an open wound. Anyway. I have written a lot of expletive-laden tirades about technology and software and I had another rant started and then I had EVEN MORE website problems and the draft got deleted, and I’m not rewriting that so, you’re welcome. Can I write this post, save it, and publish it? Or… Keep reading…Blacking out again…
O.M.F.G. I am developing some……opinions……on my new web hosting provider and they mostly involve expletives and rude gestures. Do I need to go shopping for a replacement already? Anyway. Tirade cut short: Extensive downtime of the server for “unplanned maintenance” resulted in all of my posts and pages getting deleted—fifteen years worth of posts and pages—and tech support has thus far not given me any answers and so I did a restore from a backup… Keep reading…Don’t know when…
