2021 is refusing to be a decent year, it seems, what with now the omicron surge of the COVID virus and the determined refusal of so many people to take public health measures seriously.

Your mileage may vary…….
Today is June 23, the 42nd anniversary of the day I made the biggest mistake of my life, getting married only 6 weeks out of college. The intervening years have amplified how big a mistake that was and how much better it would have been if I had spent my 20’s (or longer) in hedonistic… Continue reading Your mileage may vary…….

Another Saturday-another round in circling the shopping malls. I’m beginning to feel like they should just call it “Groundhog Weekend” here in sprawling Shopping Mall USA and get it over with. At least when I alighted from the Star Ferry, I was a man on a mission. And with luck ( or lack of it) … Continue reading More adventures in baby sitting………………..
