Forgive me if the language I use in this entry offends, it is not intended to. However, I find that occasionally, I feel a need to be blunt. Dropping the pretenses of diplomacy or well-mannered...


I had a multi-stage narrative dream last night and if I don’t write it down… I’m likely to kick myself. BEGIN It was morning of a court hearing day, but the courthouse was a unique blend of IF an...


I find myself.... restless. Which I find combines with my curiosity in unfortunate ways. Because, you see, they are competing impulses for me at this moment. I want to sit, and read, and learn ...


Here is some more bitching from me on a tired and shitty topic. You know how I have a full time job? And how, even in slow days, I am at work AT MINIMUM from 7:30 to 5:00? You know how Wife tak...


The new season has officially arrived. One could say that the 30 degree weather and reports of “likely snow” are the proof in that pudding but the truly more powerful proof is that I could not s...


Let’s call this a drunkard’s lament. This will be a very quick, very raw entry. I would apologize as I tend to attempt (for the most part) a kind of professional decorum here. But some things are...


Public entry to say… Jury Trial is done. Convicted. So we did a good job. However, I likely have a jury trial on November 7th, too. So… work is never done, crime continues. I will say this, ...


Time is running out. After a hell of a week last week and a hell of a week in front of me, on Friday morning I woke up and decided “Nope.” Not going to be “awake.” So I slept through most of Fr...


Here’s something. So as you know I’ve been spending a lot of time neck-deep in the kind of truly awful shit that can destroy people. I am of course talking about Child Abuse, Child Neglect, Chil...


Well, sometimes things can go from Zero to One Hundred. My day got super busy. Phone calls, investigations, plea deals, trial dates, filing charges… very busy. And so there were some things I n...


I just read, don’t ask why, the BBC coverage of the Minnesota Trump Rally. The pressing question the BBC was investigating is how do Trump supporters feel about the impeachment issue? In a move...


Bah. I can’t promise anything because whenever I have a genuine intent to express myself creatively, something happens and I’m prohibited from the very expression I was attempting. That being sa...


Here’s a kettle of fish: Today is a rare, strange, and bizarre Monday for work. Typically, I would have Juvenile Court as last week there was no Juvenile Court and going more than two weeks betw...


Because of how my day is right now… with positives but negatives; with good news to celebrate but the rapidly freezing weather causing my body pain… I figure it is time for a meme-splosion. Obvs...


SO: Some nice things? EDITED AT NOON Extra good thing? Wife just got back her first Chemistry test. Chemistry being the class she often spends hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and ...


I feel odd. In need of connection, but not wanting to work toward it. For example, there are now weeks of unread bookmarks I have here in Prosebox and yet… I can’t concentrate to read any. I h...


This morning/last night… I had many dreams, all of which stayed with me, all of which were very vivid. Allow me to attempt to describe them: The dream started as one of my recurring dreams often...


When you’re both of these people


Nala Last Night: So it must be said that with my current schedule, it has been incredibly difficult to give Nala a walk. I leave the house at 7:30 and arrive home between 5 and 6. Play practice...


So… Trump has just screamed (YET AGAIN) that he is too invested in his own businesses to care about America. Trump Tower Istanbul is more important than supporting the Kurds who have been instru...


Can’t go over everything that’s been going on; but I’ve been super busy. October is a big Jury Trial Month for me. I also have Couple’s Counseling monthly and Individual Therapy weekly. I have pl...


Ugh. I have two days off from play practice every week. Friday and Saturday. I have two days off from work every week. Saturday and Sunday. But I have couple’s counseling tomorrow. And home-ca...



Yes, I’ve had this conversation. Multiple times. Honestly. I still don’t understand why a woman shorter than I would go to such great lengths to explain why she would “never date a man shorter...


Item One: I am a little worried that my boss and I are currently facing our first considerable approach differences. I know it won’t explode into a big argument but I do worry that it may cause ...
