New Year’s Resolution 2017: Be Your Own Celebrity Entertainer. DIY
Word today is that another celebrity—likely too rich and personally unaccountable for her own good—bit it way early. Well, let’s see. If you were an alien just visiting earth right now for the first time, you would understand that the very most important events of 2016 were the deaths of Prince, Bowie, Ali, Wilder, Michael, and Fisher, among a bunch of others.

Family Christmas Celebration, Version 2016 (Prime Rib & Yorkshire Pudding)
Can’t recall when I’ve enjoyed Christmas day as much as yesterday’s.

There were, after all, a few people who responded better to V1 than to V2. Well now, V3 appears to…Read More
Loose Ends: Holiday Vacation Update
Saw that this morning. Pretty much always that way with me and this blog is pretty clear evidence over the 13 years I’ve been writing it. …And this is why I haven’t posted hardly at all since the election. I’m generally uninterested, though I poke fun and deride leftists here and there on Facebook as a sort of distraction. But even that’s wearing thin.
