theeWeeBabySeamus - December 17, 2019December 17, 2019

I drove to western North Carolina early this morning. Very early. And back. Pain in my ass but it had to be done. Then I shipped moar hot peppers out to some folks (YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE!!!!). But that's the end of them for this year. The peppers that is,

OK. Not to sound too maudlin, but this will be my father's fifth dead Christmas. He went out in the spring of '15. Shit happens. I like flowers. (I'm not gay, you're gay) ((not that there's anything wrong with that)) But every year we go and visit his (and other dead folks') graves and put

That’s Gonna Burn You

As some of you already know, I have been growing hot peppers for the past several years. Some of you have "benefited" from my harvest. This year alone I've mailed out over 10 lbs of hot peppers (as well as some seeds). I still have about 3 lbs ripening and

I don't have anything meaningful to say today. I'd like to think of something to write about. But here we are less than an hour before post time and I got absolutely nothing. I ate too much yesterday. I plan to drink too much tonight. Christmas tree and other assorted decorational shit has

Try not to worry about what you don't have. - When I was a senior in Veterinary School, I was "on duty" during the Thanksgiving weekend. It was only by chance. I drew the short straw that weekend, so to speak. My family did not like the fact that I would be unable

I bet you thought I'd forgotten about this little series. Well, "series" might be pushing it considering that this is only the third installment and it's been nearly a year since the first and second installments. And considering it's been that long you, dear reader, have probably forgotten anyway. But it's

I was having a very difficult time coming up with something which might be motivational to even just one person this week. Still am actually. But yet, here we are. I don't honestly know if these silly little posts I've been putting up for a few months now have truly helped

Yeah, it's been a while. But you remember. This is one of those weeks where I can't think of anything else so I choose one (or more) musical artists to feature. Generally, their musical accolades are debatable...at best. But not their sexy. That is unimpeachable. Kinda like someone else I know. Anywhooooo... This

Wednesday Motivational – Small Differences

To be great in this world? To rise up and make a difference? You don't have to start a revolution. You don't even have to convince others to follow you. That will come anyway when people recognize your efforts and that you have a modicum of generosity of spirit in your

Cut your hair Russell, you damned hippie. NO YOU SHUT UP!!!!!! (ahem) Since no one else seems to want to bitch and whine about the totally unfair breaks in fantasy football this year, I guess I'll have to give it a go. I was coasting all weekend. I had a comfortable, though not

Leaves have been falling here for a coupla months now. I've kept up with them, at least to a degree, up until now. But frankly it's still been rather warm and I've come to dislike yardwork when I have to sweat to do it. This week it has turned considerably

When I was a kid, my father told me "Do what you love and the money will follow". I've since heard it said many times and in many different variations. But there it is. You have to find your "gift". Your gift is that thing you do which you enjoy doing
