My little dog looks dead, but she is a only sleeping. She just doesn’t have any teeth on that side of her mouth to hold her tongue in.

If you think that we are doomed or things cannot get better, check out ‘1971: The Year that Music Changed the World’, specifically the episode titled ‘The Revolution Will not be Televised’. I was not alive then, but things were more bleak in 1971 than they are now.

I was listening to OnPoint on NPR this afternoon, and they were talking about how hard it is to watch sports on broadcast tv because no one wants to buy a ‘digital antenna’. There is no such thing, it is just marketing BS.

I need an MRI. The cost here is $3500 (a strangely round number). A round-trip flight to London, a couple of hotel nights, and paying cash at a private clinic there would cost less than half of that.

Tomorrow I will be playing bass for a full show for the first time in over ten years. Since guitar has been my only regular stringed instrument since then, I found a short scale bass (30") just so the fret spacing would feel more familiar. Another great thing is that it fits in a case I have already

Recently, every time I go somewhere to grab a sandwich, everyone is rushing to prepare a bunch of to-go orders that are pilled onto a counter…yet I never see anyone coming in to pick them up.

For the last seven weeks, my band has played a show every weekend. This weekend, no show; and I have forgotten how to be home all weekend with ‘nothing to do’.

Proposition: how about we combine Memorial Day and Veterans Day into a single holiday like the entire rest of the Western world does on November 11 and just have a straight up Bank Holiday on the last Monday in May?

I live in South Carolina which recently passed an open carry law, and I have seen a few people open carrying. Don’t they know that if someone entered a public place wishing to do actual harm, the first thing they would do is shoot the guy with a gun on his hip?

I have received so many emails from businesses in the last week suggesting things to get/do for my mother on Mothers' Day. I have been sorely tempted to reply to all of them: "My mother is dead."
To be fair, I never thought I would be saying that at 42 years old.😑
Happy Mothers' day everyone!

I am not a medical professional, but how can a single person (like one of faux patients in annoying pharmaceutical commercials) have “moderate to severe” anything? Isn’t an individual’s condition either moderate or severe?
