Day 304: By invitation only

It’s Day 304 of Mikey’s Folly and Day 64 of The Curfew With No Clue. Deb and I are ok, thanks. Without a doubt, the most entertaining thing about yesterday was the insufferable preening on social media

Day 303: And here we are

This is Day 303 of 15 Days to Flatten the Curve and Day 63 of Ohio’s 21-day WuFlu Curfew. Today also marked the disappointing end of the Trump administration — the most pro-America and pro-American four-year period of my lifetime — and the beginning of...

Day 301: ‘A nation of riflemen’

This is Day 301 of 15 Days to Flatten the Curve, and it’s Day 61 of Ohio’s 21-day WuFlu Curfew. Deb and I are fine today. We had ourselves a great Sunday — my Facebook friends already know why, since I wrote about it on my personal page, but...

Day 282: Fondly remembered

Here in Ohio we’ve had 267 extra days to “flatten the curve,” and an unenforceable 21-day curfew now has been in effect twice as long as originally advertised. Deb and I are doing well. Status quo, as they say. Flashing back yesterday to our 2012 trip to West (By God) Virginia triggered memories of the vehicle that took us there, a 2005 Chevy TrailBlazer...

Day 268: Hump Day musings

It’s Day 268 of 15 Days to Flatten the Curve and Day 28 of Ohio’s 21-day WuFlu Curfew. Deb and I are ok this wintry Wednesday, expecting another dusting of snow. If someone had told me when I was a kid, or even as recently as 20 years ago, that I’d be devoting so much attention to charging batteries, I’m pretty sure I would’ve...

Day 263: What will we say?

It’s Day 263 of 15 Days to Flatten the Curve and Day 23 of Ohio’s 21-day WuFlu Curfew. It’s also worth noting that today is the 281st day that Ohio’s bars and restaurants have been crippled by the governor — without offering a shred of science to justify it. Deb and I are ok...

Day 236

This is Day 236 of The First Ohio Shutdown, as well as Day 172 of If Black Lives Matter, You Sure Don't Act Like It. Deb and I are feeling our age. We may be alive, conscious and well, but...

Day 230

This is Day 230 of the Ohio Shutdown and Day 166 of National Convulsions. My family and I are fine. I haven't said much of anything this week about the "pandemic." A contentious presidential election elbowed the subject out of my posts, I guess, but not entirely off my radar. Here in Ohio, the governor … Continue reading Day 230 →

Day 229

It's Day 229 of the Ohio Shutdown and Day 165 of The Everything-Is-Racist Expo. Deb and I are doing well. News networks have started lining up and declaring the 46th president. Daffy McHairsniffer is said to be planning a prime-time "victory" address this evening. Trump reportedly won't concede and, in light of how the expected … Continue reading Day 229 →

Day 228

“Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.” (H.L. Mencken, 1919) It's Day 228 of the Ohio Shutdown (Day 236 of DeWine's sabotage of the state's bars and restaurants) and Day 164 of Racists Surfing On George Floyd's Wake. Deb and I … Continue reading Day 228 →
