Don't live the American dream. Live your dream.

  • I’m not playing the game — just observing. There’s a couple of things that I’m not quite following. A2 definitely has emotions. Even the little sister called her grumpy lady and she’s distinctly unfriendly with most people, notably Nines at this point, but I’m sure that’ll change.  Grumpy Lady packs a lot of sarcasm. I… Read more

  • On an island.

    There once was a man who lived on a small island.  Coming from a fairly well-off family, he desired political power and, eventually got it through various and, sometimes, not-so-nice means. But, during this time, he built roads, opened a record number of schools, and was honored with numerous awards and certificates, including the Chinese… Read more

    Yeah, okay, I’m a sucker. I accepted that guy’s super late and ‘hey you’ email.  It didn’t change the outcome so I didn’t have to bother with a change-o-grade form.  But, it’s done and graded.   I’m hoping that he’ll learn a non-existant lesson to be more considerate to adjuncts in the future, but who am… Read more

    Today feels like it’s going to be lazy. At one point, I thought that was a curse…  a day without running around in some form of panic and anxiety.  But, I’ve become pretty cool with it as long as it doesn’t happen too often. Actually, I’m feeling fairly tired again. I might take a nap.… Read more

    Change of plans. Today, I was going to head back to the gym.  But, my left leg has started to feel spongy just like my right leg, except in a different spot.    It’s getting to be kind of painful to walk any distance.   —  Guessing it’s pulled muscles from the 70+ km I did… Read more

    This is day two of my Groupon extravaganza. My little Hoosier hometown and surrounding areas aren’t big on Groupon.    This place in Florida is.    My blessed sister has gotten into a habit of buying Groupons for me for various relaxation and well-being services. For example, yesterday I met Dustin and Jessie, his wife. … Read more

    I passed through Macy’s last night while chasing down a Snover. (Yeah, yeah.   I play Pokemon Go.  So what?) Anyway, I saw these black sequin boots.  From toe tip to high heel to knees, they were nothing but plastic black sequins.   You know what I’m talking about, right?   It’s not beads, but flat plastic disks. … Read more

    There’s nothing wrong with having an off day, is there? Silly question, I know.  I know it’s okay, but I always wonder if it’s okay. Well, if it’s okay for – me – to have an off day. Lee’s visit has left fairly melancholy. While this is a somewhat familiar mindstate at home, this is… Read more

    Here I sit, like a twit – waiting on the air conditioner guy from the soon to be defunct Sears. I have no energy today. I did a lot yesterday.    There’s still a lot to do, just a slightly lesser amount.  I just don’t know what my deal is.    It’s practically noon and… Read more

    Back in Florida. This is my third whole day. Saturday was my first, which we ran around going places and to a park. On Sunday, we went to Wagon Wheel, visited the Awesome Jean, and went to another park. I’m going to go to a lot of parks while I’m here and I’m a-okay with… Read more
