Sunday without football seems... empty. I look at the four walls around me and wonder, "Why? What's it all about? Our existence is but a brief crack of light between two eternities of darkness." But eventually, there will be again 22 physically large multimillionaires...
Isn't it nice to have the most cliché possible picture? Holy shit, January is almost over. Maybe it's an age thing, maybe it's me being busy and time flying, but it doesn't feel like we could already be a month in. This weekend will drag, of course, because no...
Here in the Gulch, we had our Team Red and Team Blue caucuses (cauci?) this week to nominate candidates for the village Board of Trustees. Now me, I always think of trustees as some position for squealers in a prison, but here it applies to the elite set of...
Sometimes sitting in the stands eating popcorn is a lot more fun than actually being in the circus. So here’s some Links, and I swear, I didn’t cut the bottom out of the popcorn box. This time.
I hereby pledge to do better Links than Brett’s yesterday. Somewhat better, anyway.
SP marked a signal event this week. We celebrated. So the Links could be a bit sketchy. Sorry.

I’m not sure how I’ll pull that theme together for Links this morning. But come watch me utterly fail.
Who says that Yahweh doesn’t have a sense of humor?
Another surreal day here. But I’ll keep it real in the Links.
How can I possibly feel any hope? And yet… I do. Maybe the Links will perk you up a bit, too.
As the world turns and the fever burns, it’s clear that people never learns. OK, no more poetry, just Links.
We now enter the 7 month period where I keep wondering why the hell we moved here. But the news is more important than my extreme discomfort.
SP is reduced to repeating, “Has everybody gone fucking nuts???” Here’s proof she’s right.
Hell has descended here. And Links are descending there.
A new day, a new week, and the fuck it attitude is spreading. Morning Links are my small contribution to this.
People are starting to rebel. Trust in media and government is dropping. I’m happy, relatively. So to celebrate, here’s Links!
Proclaim Liberty throughout the land and to all the inhabitants thereof. Just kidding. News is proof of that.
Just kidding, I’m out and about. Hide your kids. And comment on the links.
Sorry, bad day for us. You guys have fun, though.
Because really.
Because, you know, fuck that guy. Think of these links as Sloopy Seconds.
Actually, we’re not stuck at home, but we’re pretending. And linking. And begging for some help.
At least that’s how I’m comforting myself. And I definitely get that feeling from those I encounter. In the meantime, cower-in-place and read the Links.
