I remain peripherally aware of OSU football, and I know that the Buckeyes lost to the Wolverines yesterday...

Day 330: Naming names
It’s Day 330 of The First Ohio Shutdown. Deb and I are well. The knife in today’s header image depicts not the best fixed-blade money can buy, but (as far as I’m concerned) what might be the best fixed-blade knife for the money...
Flashback: ‘Speech cannot contain our love’ (1879)
This is the eulogy delivered by Robert Green Ingersoll at the graveside of his brother, Ebon, in 1879. It remains the greatest use of language I’ve ever read.
Day 328: The Fourteenth of February
This is Day 328 of 15 Days to Flatten the Curve. On this day each year, I pause to remember three things...
Day 323: That’d be great
It’s Day 323 of 15 Days to Flatten the Curve and Day 83 of Ohio’s 21-day WuFlu Curfew. Deb and I are ok. The weekend of our “maiden voyage” with the Bumper Bunker last July was hot and oppressively humid. Temps in the mid-90s were...
Day 295: We’re Number Two*
Today is the 295th day of “flattening the curve” (an imaginary task we were told would take 15 days), and it’s the 55th day of tucking grown-ass adults into bed by 10pm (authoritarian nonsense originally advertised to last 21 days). Deb and I are doin’ fine. If I were a fan of Alabama football right now...
Day 285: Gotcha
This is Day 285 of 15 Days to Flatten the Curve. And after 45 days, Ohio’s three-week WuFlu Curfew is set to expire — except it won’t, because our useless governor has now extended a 21-day curfew past nine weeks. I’m sure he’ll do it again the next time it’s about to expire.
Day 261: Tradition interrupted
It’s Day 261 of 15 Days to Flatten the Curve (which may be the only thing in Ohio that hasn’t been flattened). My family and I are fine. Deb and I have enjoyed a quiet, low-drag kind of day. In the interest of maintaining that vibe...
Day 214
It's Day 214 of the Ohio Shutdown and Day 150 of the Racists-for-Biden Road Show. Deb and I are managing fine. We hit a little snag with her father's house today, but it's nothing that can't be overcome. Ohio State plays the first football game of its season tomorrow, at home in The 'Shoe against … Continue reading Day 214
