  • Streaming–and I’m an old man

    I’m going to write about streaming tonight. From the perspective of an old fart. I love streaming. I got into it from day one. Used to get Netflix DVD’s. Three at a time. And it was perfect. I think early on I was watching Dexter. I’d have three DVD’s. Which was more than enough for…

  • Hope is a Funny Thing

    I survived suicidal depression because of hope. But it’s a funny thing. It can help you through something. But it can also poison you. Wanting things you can’t have, that are only the product of luck, that can be a poison when you don’t get what you want. I have a pile of lottery tickets…

  • New Topic

    Here’s a new topic for a new day. Well, a new year actually. Actually, I’m attempting to set up my old journaling program to work on my new modern iMac, the joke being, that in a few years it’ll be a piece of shit, in the trash in fifty years, but people will still be…

  • Same shit

    My wife was asking me last night if I wanted her to look into doctors.  I went on a short, not loud, but emotionally enough charged diatribe about it, amongst other things.  If you have a chronic health condition, especially one that’s hard to pin down, you’ve probably had more than your fair share of…

  • Here we go again

    And just went I thought I was at the tail end of the flu–bam–it all came back last night. Not the astronomic temperature, but definitely the constant state of freezing chills that have me heating my home office to Mexican beach front property in the summer temperatures. Plus my lower back/ribs are fucked up again,…

  • No, I didn’t fall down again…

    No, I didn’t fall down again, yes, I was going to push myself to write every day even though these days it’s about as enjoyable as my regular thirty minutes on the treadmill (which I always look forward to with a sense of dread).  Hadn’t been sleeping at all well last week, usually falling asleep…

  • First Bad Experience on Facebook Marketplace

    I’m a Facebook Marketplace frequent flyer.  It’s where I get a lot of my cameras.  Most of my experiences range from very good to ho-hum. Very good example:  I tell someone I’m interested in what they’re selling.  Within a day or two I hear back from them.  We exchange a number of polite messages back…

  • Back to it?

    Couldn’t sleep last night. Went to bed around 1am. Woke up around 4am. Laid in bed until about 6:30 at which point I realized I might as well get up and be productive, or at least read a book or something. I should honestly do this more often when I have insomnia like this–actually, I…

  • I wonder if this still works

    Answer: No it didn’t. New answer: Now it does. Haven’t written in over six months so the sites have been pretty jacked up. Wonder who’s been checking in on me. On the bright side, I did get SSL to start working on both blogs. Woot. Now I wonder if I’ll just rid of the damn…

  • I’ll meet you again

    I’ve probably mentioned it before, but I don’t have any friends—and to be clear, I mean, I have no one within fifty miles of me who calls me up on a Friday afternoon asking me if I’d like to out for drinks or a movie. I have cats. A lot of cats. And a wife….
