Monday, November 7th 2022 Seriously, of all of the videos that get produced in and around our relationship with the Russians or Eastern Europeans or the business, military or social ideas flying around, I think I like this guy the best. It’s the most straightforward and the most honest. Nothing here is staged, he doesn’t… Continue reading

Sunday, November 6th 2022. Week 44 It’s a quarter to four on a rainy Sunday morning. I’m watching game 6 of the World Series and thinking about cleaning up. I am expecting my ex partner today but possibly also an important guest. I don’t absolutely know about whether this gift is going to show up… Continue reading

Friday, November 4th 2022 It’s really only 8:00 on Thursday evening. But I want to make sure that this is the first thing I post today. I think we should all enjoy watching this video. Also this from the Barents Observer: U.S aircraft flew Norwegian airspace on surveillance mission outside Russia’s nuclear sub bases Norway’s… Continue reading

Thursday, November 3rd 2022 I am sitting in my ex partner’s kitchen thinking about the end of this World series game number four. Christian Alvarez was taken out of the game after throwing a no-hitter for six innings.

Sunday, October 30th 2022. Week 43 It’s 5:15 a.m. and I guess I’m about ready to get back into the world. I feel pretty good. I actually feel a little fat. I did a bit of eating last week. I’m not sure if I’ve come out of it yet but I guess there was a… Continue reading

Saturday is exactly my day off. Nothing takes precedence. I have to prepare for it exactly so I can… Continue reading

Thursday, October 27th 2022 4:00 a.m. is not a good time to be awake. 4:00 a.m. when it’s not even going to be daylight for another 4 hours is absolutely the wrong time to be awake. I think the problem is that I just ate too much yesterday. Bullshit stress and a moment of alcoholic… Continue reading
