Spirits Having Flown

http://youtu.be/WWBFpoErDCM Sometime in the late winter of 1978 I pulled my snowmobile up in front of the base exchange. Not unusual, we lived at Loring AFB - now mostly know for the annual wha...

I Remember LA

www.youtube.com/embed/q_pPqYw5GJI?rel=0 In 1985 I was a SSgt in the Air Force. Our wing, the 363rd at Nellis AFB, Nevada was the redheaded stepchild of the base. What with the rapidly growing ...


Or at all if you can help it. The parking lot is always crammed to the gills, no matter how many or few people seem to be in the store. The "entrance" door slides open and I almost get knocked ...

What If...

I suppose I am a bit lost. I've been caught in this loop for a few years. In 1999 I was in the midst of a divorce, but I knew who I was and what I wanted to be. I had a trajectory. I didn't k...

Post Fifteen

Another 6" of snow on top of who knows how much so far this winter. Another 2" or so on tap for tonight. I fired up the snow thrower first thing this morning. The young lady across the street ...

Snowstorm Number Fifteen

Talk about wasting a day. Computer wouldn't start up. I blame Bilbo Gate's crew and their predilection for shoving unwanted updates into the machine. Every time they do it gets wonkier and slo...


I went out to coffee with Gary. The story of why we traded Thursday for Tuesday is that he agreed to drive down to Philadelphia with his cousin so said cousin can visit with his children before ...

Smattering

Last night a smattering of snow. No big deal except I didn't get to watch it fall. No snow when I went to bed. A heavy dusting when I woke up. If it's going to snow, I'd like to see it. Ne...

TWD

Really? Now we have to suspend disbelief while suspending disbelief. Never knowing what is "real" and what is some surreal flashback? And 4 minutes of content and 56 minutes of commercials an...

Crackers and Peanut Butter

So I was sitting here watching part of the Walking Dead marathon, a couple of saltines with peanut butter on a plate that fascinated my cat. And I realized that the marathon had just entered tha...

Killer Women

Well the last snow apocalypse was kind of a nonevent. We were supposed to get up to 16 inches of snow and instead got something around 6 or 8 inches. Unlike Atlanta the only thing that happened h...

Fortune

http://youtu.be/M1L8dNVaanQ William Fitzsimmons has a new album coming out later this month. I've watched this video a dozen times trying to figure out what the images are trying to convey and ...

Post Superb Owl

Well. At 530pm I went over to Taco Bell and ordered up a batch of XXL Steak nachos and 6 "hot wings." The wings weren't hot, and the XXL steak nachos were a bag of corn chips with a can of refr...

Superb Owl Sunday

I'll be watching the two teams from marijuana legal states have their "Super Bowl." I'm not really invested in either, but will probably be pulling for Denver. The strange winter weather cont...

Mary Celeste

I suppose it is morbid curiosity. I keep hitting my favorites bar shortcut to OD. Mostly surprised to see it still functional after the panic of everyone trying to download their diaries all ...

Open Diary

I sometimes wonder if there is a possibility of filing a class action lawsuit against the DiaryMaster - not so much to get money, but rather in order to force him to fucking do something with OD....

Post Electra

Electra wasn't all that. 12-14" of drifty snow. I left it alone until the plows started moving it further into my driveway, then went out and cleared everything including the berm in about 20 m...

Electra

Well the first "snow event" is upon us, I think her name is "Electra." When did we start naming every storm? After a week's worth of build up, she may actually turn out to be stacked. Looks li...

Well

There it goes again. I am not fully on board with PB, but the hiccup-ey way OD keeps going makes me think it might be time to get out of cyber-space and back to the real world. I suppose the tw...

Still Have Faith

I still have faith that OD will do that thing it does and resurrect. But when it takes five minutes for the screen to refresh when Facecrack refreshes in seconds. I guess I have started to see ...


Book Description

The random and sundry. The sacred and profane. The pleasure and the pain.
