As expected, each time I raised my arms today, I was reminded of two things: (1) I worked my upper body yesterday, and (2) It’s been too long since the last time I did. At one point this morning, I raised my arms in the mirror and there were these two things sticking out up in … Read more
I had pretty much a sleepless night last night. I never broke out into one of those ridiculous sweats at least, probably because I didn’t take aspirin before I went to bed. The first thing I did was to take my temperature. My forehead didn’t feel that hot, and the reading confirmed progress: 100.2°. I … Read more

I volunteered at Equality North Carolina this morning from 10:00 until noon. This was my third 2-hour volunteer stint, each time working on a postcard campaign in anticipation of the School Violence Protection Act coming before the legislature for a vote soon. I’ve participated in the process from beginning to end now: 1) Entering the … Read more
I see Amy is at it yet again: Amy Winehouse arrested on suspicion of drug possession. Why can’t these incredibly gifted people get their shit together? It can’t help to surround yourself with the likes of this: Amy Winehouse’s jailed husband has been trading lascivious photos of the singer for tobacco, says a British website, ThePeople.co.uk. … Read more
In today’s obituaries: Don A. Biggerstaff. Editorial comment: Survived by his wife, Putona Strapon. I’m just saying… Since when are grammar rules decided by a popularity vote? You know this has me seeing (a) red (pen)! The state of Missouri has issued millions of new license plates containing a grammar error, but officials say they … Read more
