Another very good friend of mine has come down with Covid. Thankfully, this person is vaccinated and appears to be recovering well at home.
Get vaxxed. Get boosted. You will thank yourself for it later.

“Invictus,” Anne Brigman, circa 1924
I don’t know if Brigman’s photo is a reference by William Ernest Henley’s 1888 poem of the same name.
I dino why this keeps happening.
I got teased a little for eating scrambled eggs and ketchup yesterday; a couple of friends of mine opined that it was a kids’ meal.
Today I discovered that the chicken tenders I bought are in dinosaur shapes.
If the universe is trying to send me a message here, I’m not sure what it is.
Update: if you melt cheese over them they look like they’re stuck in the La Brea Tar Pits.
Cover to “House of Secrets” #81, Neal Adams, 1969
DC Comics.
“What I tell kids is, don’t get mad, get even.”
This has been circulating on Facebook and Twitter. As always, I’ll cheerfully credit the meme-maker if am notified.
Untitled short poem, January 31, 2022
Through all of this world’s noise,
its augurs
and its clamor
and all of its iniquitous, ugly voices,
your memory is ever
a gentle refrain in my heart.
