Yes, it’s filing time in the USA, though not in Puerto Rico. Last week’s blackout made the PR deadline move to next Monday. That’s fair. You roll with the punches. But it also reminded me of a brilliant boss I had. That boss used to say that a democratic government could

A handsome but kinda off figure sits at the laptop, although less pudgy than before because he’s wearing a shirt that by last Xmas fit fine until you sat down and bent forward because the buttons tightened and OK that’s enough scene setting. He types:   Complacency is the enemy inside. Overall,

Cheating fuckers. With a little luck, you’ll be out of the tourney before the day is done.

I must have been in a morose daze these last coupla weeks because I failed to realize that the pandemic ended. The NFL dropped all Covid protocols, and mask mandates are on the outs seemingly everywhere (source: seemingly, K?). Here in Puerto Rico, where we’ve had strict measures since 03/20, it

If you, anyone, lives in Puerto Rico, you can’t vote for the U.S. President--the President of here as well. It does get awkward for boricuas to celebrate Presidents’ Day, although not as much as U.S. Independence Day. So instead of woke musings, I rather concentrate on what Presidents’ Day does

I’m peeved. Despicable Stan assembled a team of mercenaries and their triumph leaves an indelible mark on history. But enough about the Marvel cinematic universe. Although Aaron Donald would’ve been perfect for The Intelligent Hulk. God damn; what a player. NFL NEWS No games until [sigh] September. Yeah, I’m bummed alright. Although, gotta say: this was
