It's been a busy couple weeks and you know I've gotta tell you about it. First off, the boys had a taekwondo tournament a few weeks ago. And, despite not coming home with nearly as many medals as some other recent tournaments, we were more proud of them all than probably any other tournament day before strictly becasue of their great attitudes.
Then, watch out, a new "man hobby" has entered the field in the form of smoking meats. We...

Not much going on this week besides me spending way more time than usual baking bread and watching nerdy TV. In my defense, the baking is my wife's fault. She asked me to make bread. The nerd bit is totally on me. I started watching Star Trek: Picard. In the news, we're going to court for some really stupid reasons.

Lots of rambling to start off this time. I can't help it. I just have to tell you everything I've been up to since the last time I talked to you. A little bit about how my kidney problem affected my plasma donations. Some garden talk. A bit about grinding up brisket for hamburger. Ya know, my usual ramblings.
I've got a couple quick "BS From The News" stories about some surprise cocaine, and about some government people getting sick...

It's been a while so this one is EXTRA LONG! I recently got my spring garden planted. This is my most intentional and, from an output perspective, ambitious planting yet. I got sidelined hard by a couple of kidney stones. And last but definitely not least, I address the two major family losses that have kept me away and the toll it's taken.

I know I've been doing all of the other things lately, but this week I'm back to just rambling about my garden, making my own sausages, and the wonders of growing and making your own fresh food.

Hope you’re having a pleasant holiday season. It’s been crazy busy around here as usual. We had a well executed, albeit tiring, Christmas, even if I did have a slight miscalculation in cooking Christmas dinner.
We’ve been watching some new stuff over the holidays. And the US government is not about to let the French or the EU upstage them in bullshit jackass spending.

I'm all over the place this week. But what's new about that? I'm finally doing our garage renovations. I'm scrambling to make french toast. I'm Live taste testing a Dreamworld Coca Cola. And I'm reviewing "Black Adam." Of course there's also a very packed "Bullshit From The News," with more groans than you can shake an overpriced government program at...

After surviving NAPODPOMO, I’m trying to get back into the swing of doing more of the regular segments. In the news I have a battle for who can be the biggest dumbass. Between stupid criminals, stupid lawsuits, and stupid scientists, I think you may have to decide, just who is the “Jackass of the Week.” Of course, I have my regular ramblings, but I don’t have to tell you that, now do I?

For Day 27 of NAPODPOMO I am reading a book that holds a very special place in my heart, "I Had Trouble In Getting To Solla Sollew" by Dr. Seuss.

I actually have a quote from this book tattooed on my side inspired by a major trauma that I experienced many years ago.

Sooooo that sinus infection hasn't gotten any better. As such I had to stay home from work today. But on the plus side, my wife and I got to check out the new remake of "The Oregon Trail" that just dropped on the Nintendo Switch. I'll just say it now, they managed to find the perfect balance between nostalgic and modern styles with this game.

I know I promised to read "The Stinky Cheese Man" today, but unfortunately I got hit with a Thanksgiving sinus infection. So instead, I just want to say thank you to each and every one of you out there listening to me and my randomness, especially through all of NAPODPOMO.

Since I read a more adult bedtime story earlier this week, for Day 23 of NAPODPOMO I'm reading, the more traditional classic bedtime story, "Goodnight Moon" by Margaret Wise Brown.

In 21 days of NAPODPOMO I haven't really had any really random rambling days. I end up giving a rundown of my Thanksgiving menu, and spin the death of Power Rangers actor, Jason David Frank, into a secondary ramble about you the fans and my commitment to getting this show back on a regular schedule.
