It’s the Saturday after my first week back to work after shoulder surgery. I’ve come to some pretty important realizations during the seven weeks I’ve been out.
First, I really hate being away from the Queen of my Universe ten hours a day. Even though we had contractors working in the house […]

As any recovering Catholic will tell you, good Friday is the day that all Catholics mourn their faith. Well, actually I felt that as a Catholic I mourned my faith every day. But on Good Friday you got an extra large dose of Catholic guilt. It was like opening a can of papal […]

This is DOUG’s house. He bought it for he and his mom and now he owns it outright. It’s an awesome old farmhouse on Naples luxurious lower East Side. DOUG’s mom had a massive stroke a few years back, and DOUG took complete care of her until the […]

So on Monday I had my operation.
This is the 1st St. Patrick’s Day in many St. Patrick’s days that I’ve spent more sedated than most of the people hanging out at the bars. I had three different levels of sedation for the operation and decided when I got home that I would wait for […]

Tomorrow I get surgery on my shoulder.
Last week I tied up as many loose ends as possible at work, and tried to tie up a few at home. I’m going to be out of work for six weeks, mostly because I won’t be able to drive.
I’m not so much freaked […]

I think Fox has reached the point with me where whatever Fox wants me to do or wants me to think, I think the exact opposite. If you can subtract the shameless jingoism inherent in these news clips, you have millions of reasons to vote for Obama.

Elliott, man, you played a fine guitar
And some dirty basketball
The songs you wrote
Got me through a lot
Just wanna tell you that
But it’s too late
It’s too late
No, don’t you know
it’s been too late
for a long time
Oh no
Things were looking up
Least that’s what I heard
Oh no
Someone came and washed away your hard-earned
Peace of mind
When desperate static beats […]

Last month was the last straw for my right shoulder. It’s suffered more than 20 years of abuse, and decided that it was mad as hell and wasn’t going to take any more. My upper arm felt the time was right to secede from my shoulder and maybe, eventually my entire body. […]

The Roman Empire, which the American empire is frequently compared to had a penchant for sick diversions. As much as I like to decry the violence in our society as well as the violence often shown in the mainstream media, sometimes you just have to sit back and enjoy sick humor. This is […]

We can see the light at the end of the construction tunnel now. The paint is on the walls and the kitchen cabinets are in, so the house has the look of a house that’s somewhere near approaching civilization.
DOUG and Bill did the priming and painting throughout most of last week and this […]
