Candy Shark

(want some candy?)
Our great friends from Seattle are visiting. Floyd and Mrs. Floyd. Mrs. Floyd was my college roommate, so we go way back. We could blackmail one another in a pinch. She and her hub have retired. I would like to slap them. They’re our age, mid 50’s, childless and now are…retired. So, for [...]

Saltine goop for Bobgirrl

Bobgirrl axed, in my absence, about the saltine toffee crud I made the other day. It is not a Texas thing. I’m not sure if it’s a southern thing. I never had it growing up in Wisconsin, but it certainly would qualify as a socked in the house, wintery treat that you could make up whilst [...]

The Political Map

Ambivalencia, a bedroom community just outside Gunghovia. Surrounded by incorporated Theocratia, Owesmeville and Youngsterstown.  Urban/suburban/Deliverance sprawl encroaching.

A Menace to Myself

Not necessarily to society-yet. It’s been ten days since I’ve posted and that was a nice little rest. I’m still not up to full entertainment mode, but I felt the urge to purge. My mind. Hello. Not the gut.
