“TIGER SHARKS AT THE WATER PARK!”

“Threads.”

Why would they name a social media platform after a HORRIFYING 1984 British miniseries?

80’s kids want to know.

Sports injury at age 50.

IT WAS THOSE GOD DAMN LEG LIFTS.  FITNESS IS A LIE.

Fitness is a lie perpetrated upon us by the … Fitness-Industrial Complex.

I blame Republicans.



(It makes a high-pitched wine.)

Tried to spray this goddam squeaky door with WD-40; now it just sounds like pop-reggae fusion.

Turns out I was actually spraying it with UB40.



(And keep your hands off mine.)

Portmanteau of the day — better + burrito = betterrito.



Nifty little sunroom at Roanoke Public Library.

Eric tested, Nolan approved.

South Jefferson Street, July 2023.

People still say “nifty,” right?

Happy Fourth of July, folks!

Be safe.  Handle fireworks safely.  Don’t drink and drive.  Resist the temptation of demagogues.  Reject authoritarian populism.

That look you give her when she tells you that she hasn’t seen “The Prestige.”

“In darkest night …”

Oh! I saw my first fireflies of the year last night. 🙂 ❤ South of the city. They’ve been my favorite harbinger of summer since I was just about 18 and they would silently glitter en masse around Lake of the Woods in Orange County, VA. They were like a broad blanket of blinking emerald stars that caressed the darkened treeline.

Fireflies are the Green Lantern Corps of the insect universe, people. Respect them.

I call this omelette “The Fantastic Four.”

Because it’s fantastic, and because it’s got four cheeses: Swiss, muenster, mozzarella and mild cheddar.  (Diet be damned.)  Yet it’s still not as cheesy as the 2005 movie with Ioan Gruffudd.  (Sorry.)

Is it good?  It is worthy of the Baxter Building dining room.  The only thing missing here is a cameo by Stan Lee in your goddam kitchen.

BY the way, I am indeed employing the British spelling of “omelette” here, because the American “omelet” will always look wrong to me.  And if it’s one thing that I know, it’s omelettes.
