Walk Off Grand Slam!!!!
Okay, I hate seeing the Yankees lose even one game. Especially in the World Series. But man, last night’s loss was an epic moment in baseball. A tenth inning walk off grand slam by Freddie Freeman. You could not have scripted that ending. Perfect Hollywood resolution. The game itself was exactly what you expected and […]
The Wonder Of Seeing Things
I pity those people who do not suffer from some form of pareidolia – https://earthsky.org/human-world/seeing-things-that-arent-there/ and/or apophenia – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apophenia. I mean, come on, who doesn’t enjoy a touch of madness. https://www.psychologytoday.com/intl/blog/the-hidden-habits-of-genius/202009/is-there-a-thin-line-between-genius-and-insanity Seriously, how boring it must be to go through life missing out on spotting something wonderful. Seeing patterns in the clouds, or shapes in […]
Claire The Mule Makes Doc Clarence’s Wall Of Fame
Now I’ve posted in the past how I met a man named Dr. Clarence Sitzman, DMV (Retired) at a county government building where we had both gone to protest onerous, tax-based property evaluations. Doc C is a very interesting guy. We hit it off. Doc C then went on to read and enjoy The Claire Saga. […]
Being A Creator
I do not envy God (however my fine, five readers may identify the concept). Being a Creator is no joke. You see, a good creator remains inseparably linked to its creatures. All in. Each one. Equally. For example, any parent who has raised children knows that once you get past the initial pleasure, excitement, joy […]
Colorado Carpetbagger No More
Being considered a “carpetbagger” is pejorative. You are looked upon as an opportunistic outsider. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carpetbagger The term was coined during the reconstruction period after the Civil War. It was applied mostly to well meaning Yankees (no, not God’s Baseball Team) who came South to exploit their own agenda and piss off the locals. Although the […]
Fuck The Dodgers – One Last Favor
Okay Petey F, your Amazing Mets came up short, but they went down swinging and had a valiant run. I was really hoping for that subway series. Honestly. But now is not the time for tears or regrets over what could have been. I’m asking for a favor. Us Yankees fans would love for you […]
Let’s Go Mets – This One’s For You Pete Flanagan
I know, as a diehard, lifelong Yankees fan, whose first home in Da Bronx – Gerard Avenue – was just a few blocks away from the old stadium, those words should never leave my lips or fingertips. But now that the Yanks have safely moved on to the Big Show, https://www.cbssports.com/mlb/news/giancarlo-stanton-named-mvp-of-2024-alcs-yankees-slugger-hit-four-home-runs-in-five-games-vs-guardians I can be more […]
A Life Of Service On Casa Claire
Woke up at my usual 2ish a.m. time, went out and found Claire and Honey munching hay in the warm new barn, so I asked them politely to exit long enough for me to get inside and fill and lay out their dishes. Honey complied, and waited right outside the entrance, but Claire just hung […]
Charlotte Goes To The Barn – Circle Of Life
I like to make major changes during the full moon. Especially at its apex. Now, most of you know I’m a big fan of spiders. Many of you fine, five readers also know of my most recent large favorite house spider, Charlotte, that has been inhabiting my basement this summer. Now, I’m not sure if […]
The White Days
In the Islamic religion, the three days of the full moon in the middle of each lunar month are referred to as The White Days because the night is bathed in light https://aboutislam.net/blog/what-are-the-white-days/ Pagans, of course, love the moon and all of its phases. https://thebusypagan.com/learn/moon-phases-in-paganism/ And the Wiccans call this three day period the “orb […]
