We just had our local elections, and as expected, the ballot was Soviet style- here's the candidates, no competition, the choices have been made for you by our Politburo Democratic Committee. Some irony in that, but no matter. The only position that was contested at...
Everything is coming up OMWC. The Ravens seem to have miraculously revived. My latest home improvements have turned out spectacularly well. I had a terrific day of beer and pizza with Prime, who I think is going to be a pretty much permanent fixture. Spud and I shared...
Insert troon joke here. Here in the Gulch, one great difficulty on Halloween is determining whether or not someone's outfit is actually a costume. That said, there's a scandal brewing in our little village involving our mayor and his scumbag brother. As background,...
Banjos is restringing. So I’m taking over Links temporarily.
It was inevitable. Just like Links.
“What the fuck is he talking about?” Clearly not Links.
Today we celebrate Artaxerxes, alcohol, naked woman, and Links.
Your people have your holidays, (((we))) have (((ours))). And I’m getting ready, but not neglecting…Links.
I managed to make yesterday more exciting than planned. But not more exciting than Links.
My students wanted to know if I'd cancel classes on Pi Day. I told them that would be irrational. I did expect them to arrange their desks in a circle, but that backfired when the students behind me started making funny noises, as in "fart under the arm" noises. I...
I’m back and so is my pile of work. But there’s Links for consolation.
Back from New Orleans with traces of my liver intact. And Links.
The Old Man and Tomb Raider head off today. But not before Links.
The students have poured out of here in droves. leaving me to do Links on my own.
I have managed to reduce my teaching load the old fashioned way. And before you vanish, here’s Links.
What a mess! So let’s get distracted with Links.
Perhaps it’s better for everyone that Spud is only here 4 times a year. Better for my liver, at least. Anyhoo, Links.
Tomb Raider is off to a dance festival, so I actually have a weekend to get work done. And drop some Links.
So the Taylor Swift show is on tonight, but unfortunately will be sporadically interrupted by some football game. Spud is in town, so WebDom, l0b0T, Tomb Raider, and I will be gathered over at his place to see if we can consume sufficient intoxicants to blot out the...
Non-academic business brought me down to Pittsburgh whence I limn this ode to the stupidity of the world. If Lamar Jackson hadn't done an epic choke two weeks ago, I'd be trolling the populace with my Ravens sweatshirt. Alas, that opportunity vanished. But I did...
Rumors of my disappearance are greatly exagg.. oh, wait, they’re not.
We're between snowstorms and the temperatures have been hovering just above freezing. So of course, the trails are pure muck, my back yard is a marsh, and Dog is rolling in it, then coming back in the house and jumping on the furniture. Oh, and besides the numerous...
It seems like we’ve been here before…
Yes, the mercury is actually freezing. But Links are just cool.
Those poor kids don’t know what hit them. But you know that you’re getting hit by… Links.
