I hope he passes by the 91 Club

The drollest man in history. The greatest musical satirist of all time. Tom Lehrer turns 90 today!

That three throw closeout

Events this past week have brought my head space back twenty years in some ways. A lot of thinking where I was, where I went and why, and where I am now. Somewhere in all that is the how.

And it's such a horrible tragedy, that accident involving the hockey kids in Saskatchewan. Communities are devastated, social lives are centered around those junior leagues on the prairies. They were good kids, I met a few like them, back in the day.

Last night one of our new neighbors invited us over to their place for beers and an outdoor fire. We had a very good time, a beer too many in my case and walked two blocks home. I have not been able to do that for years, maybe since when we lived by the Crest Tavern, when it had real dartboards.

A British dart throwing legend died last week. I was not familiar with him, but my wife was, and friends of mine. I have a board, a good one, waiting to be set up on a bare wall downstairs. I just can't find my darts right now. So I've put a set on my Amazon list. I'm one click away.

There are a lot of things I'm missing right now: the address on a water bill, my concentration to be able to read a freaking book, let alone write anything coherent or meaningful. Some days, when you're under the stress of finally finding a summer caregiver for your son, or selling a house that has a nice personality but some real problems underneath, it's all you can do to be able to get up in the morning with not quite hangover but a bloated uneasy feeling in your gut. I'm so grateful and lucky to have the space to go to and try to get through it all.

Rest in Peace, Le Grand Orange

You had to close down on opening day





The fight left you as the team you inspired as children
took their positions on the field
Your poster on their parents walls
Baseball card in back pockets
Never flipped for luck
Saw you almost hit .400 in the World Series
You could not carry your team on a broken shoulder
The Shea Stadium outfield fence took away your arm
as you made the catch, but not your bat
Never your bat
Later in your career you were called on in the seventh, eighth, ninth inning
to do one job
The crowd chanted your name, knew you’d come to the plate
You’d pinch hit a single, double, never a triple
(foot speed was never your top skill)
or the tip your hat to the crowd encore home run
When your career ended you cooked
You fed the hungry, the first responders
Anyone
You gave back to a city that embraced you as one of its own
Now, Rusty, we say goodbye, au revoir, thank you

My wife said I should write her back, I think she's a keeper

From: Tanechka Delightful

Ciao, my friend from the Internet! I haven't written you for a long time.

I was frightened to write you. I believed that you wouldn't reply. I have never meet people in the Internet.

It is my first test. I think that you will reply. I think you didn't forget me. We saw each other on the dating-site. It is Tanya. I am 29 y.o..

I am very funny and blithe. I am fond of planting flowers, pets, music. My favoured films are comedies and love stories.

I look up staid relationship. I need a man who will love, respect, cherish and protect me.

I look up a real man with whom I feel convinced that he will never betray me. I am exhausted of playing in feelings.

I look up only sincere love but not flirt and simple touch.

If you fancy me and want to go on our touch, you are to write me and tell me more about yourself.

We might go on our touch in Columbus. Anyway it will be exciting to know you better and closer.

I will wait for your response. Tatyana



I mean, she's funny AND blithe. What more could a man want?

Spring, yeah right

First day of spring my ass. Rain, ice, snow. Fifty degrees is a pipe dream. You suck, weather.
