So I suppose it wouldn’t really be my life if there wasn’t something complicated, unexpected, or difficult thrown in at just the right moment to make me feel a need to write about it. Therein li...

Today is the first show of my play. It isn’t the public showing; it is the Charity Showing. Public shows start tomorrow. I have mentioned repeatedly that my character is… well… basically me. ...

---

So… my ADULT Entry today, I don’t consider a real entry. I started it in October, collected all of the data in October, ran most of the numbers in October, and just posted it today because I fig...

---

I am feeling… emotionally hollowed out about now. Play Practice last night went poorly. That is actually GOOD. Week of the show, you want a few rehearsals to feel rocky because if you peak ear...

---

As I sit and count the minutes down that will signal the end of this work day, I am somewhat absorbed by a notion. Call it vanity. Call it hubris. Call it fear. I get an image in my head of m...

---

So… yesterday, I drank and played video games and fell further into the sucking abyss that is my situation. Wife went to the laundromat and had dinner ready for me when I returned from play ...

---

Today is Veteran’s Day. Which means it was an optional work day for me. Which is to say… it is supposed to be a day where I am not supposed to go to work; but my boss scheduled something for to...

---

May discuss some stuff that was previously Friends Only, so be aware. So yesterday… I got into the car to grab some snacks for the party. Second weekend, second party. And on the radio? A stor...

---

Always nice when an Iowa Court Case gets national attention. Benjamin Schreiber is a convicted murderer who was sentenced to serve a life-sentence in the Iowa Department of Corrections. He is ...

---

I’m making this entry public. I probably shouldn’t. This is one of those things where keeping it public invites criticism and a whole world of mean, nasty, or judgmental comments. And I apprec...

---

Which spelling do you prefer? I’ve seen it both ways and I would personally make the argument that the factual, actual correct spelling is “blurb” but at the same time I do see the value in “ble...

---

Well, in a new record we got Wife to “shouting at the absolute top of her lungs in rage” within 38 minutes of MBFITWW arriving. Yesterday, she did not want to help me cook and said, “Let’s save t...

---

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...
