don the con

Well MJE isn’t letting the goddam crab grass grow under my feet…no sir-ree these are perilous times and demand urgent action. I sure don’t want to be sitting here on November 4th, 8th , 23rd or whenever the hell we find out the results of the election thinking, if I had just done a bitContinue reading “don the con”

trumplicans

TRIGGER WARNING!! The contents of the following post contain commentary or opinions which may offend some of my followers. MJE is taking off her opera length white kid gloves and taking the proverbial bull by the balls and assert, without fear of contradiction that the establishment republican party is kaput, dead, defunct, expired. But evenContinue reading “trumplicans”

camp wa-me-o-lawd-wa-me session 2

Just to update everyone about ongoing first session covid camp projects: The plexiglas is still in pieces. The closet light still doesn’t work. But this is a new session and lots of activities are on the schedule. Many of them are more aspirational than practical, but campers gotta dream, right? Lots of hikes, obviously. ToContinue reading “camp wa-me-o-lawd-wa-me session 2”

camp wa-me-o-lawd-wa-me

Greetings from camp covid here in north carolina! We only have one camper, our grandson jesus. He usually goes to regular camp for about 5 weeks but that is kaput so we are it. Basically, we do it because he desperately needs to be away from his mother, daughter albatross, and exposed to some vagueContinue reading “camp wa-me-o-lawd-wa-me”

gra-du-a-tion time, come on!

It’s that time of year again. People graduating from high school, community college, universities and GED programs. So congrats grads. You made it, just in time to get screwed over by a pandemic, except those of you who were on their toes and bagged a spot in big pharma. Lousy timing for the rest ofContinue reading “gra-du-a-tion time, come on!”

corona’s gonna getcha

Obviously as an almighty being you know better than I do, but I have a bad feeling that we are barely into the top of the fifth inning with covid…I guess when I asked whatever diety that might exist to deliver our nation from the clutches of the current resident of the oval office inContinue reading “corona’s gonna getcha”

we-solation

MJE is sick of being trapped in paradise. Trust me I love seclusion, but with the OB&C right here, right now it’s not really isolation, it’s we-solation. BIG difference. I keep telling him to go somewhere, anywhere. Take a walk, go fishing, go canoeing, chop down something, clean the gutters, power wash the house, organizeContinue reading “we-solation”

corona: together forever, and ever

Whew, MJE and the OB&C are slowly creeping toward the end of our fortnight of  forced coronatine  and man it is getting to be touch and go. Distance undoubtably makes the heart grow fonder but being stuck together 24/7 is making both of us flatline. In half a century of wedded bliss we’ve certainly hadContinue reading “corona: together forever, and ever”

cage fight: zumba vs covid-19

MJE went to the grocery store the other day and was greeted with a sign stating that the store was open for seniors only, between 7am and 8am. Huh? What old geezer, MJE included, gets up and goes to the grocery store at that hour? That’s like saying the store will be open for alcoholicsContinue reading “cage fight: zumba vs covid-19”

so many wars

In case you may have missed this newsflash, our country is under a withering siege by vicious drug cartels. Those dastardly drug lords think that just because the federal government is tying itself in gordian knots figuring out what the hell to do about COVID-19 that we’ve taken our eye off the real killer here,Continue reading “so many wars”
