“Spring” has sprung, mud was flung, tentacle tongues
That vernal equinox thing happened. Now it’s spring. March tried to pretend this was a big shift by tossing down six inches of snow last week. I made the most of it. All that snow is gone now and spring … Continue reading
Is winter the end or the beginning?
It’s Groundhog Day and our furry buddy Phil grumpily announced that there would be a six-week extension to this winter season. Though it was damn cold this morning, it hasn’t been cold in Chicago this winter other than a week in … Continue reading
Asteroid Day is a thing and it’s today
Today is Asteroid Day. It’s only the second annual Asteroid Day, so I don’t feel that bad having it sneak up on me like this. I have set five reminders on three different calendar apps just to make sure I … Continue reading

Are you feeling lucky, punk?
So, it is one of those days. A Friday, the thirteenth day of a month. This means you probably have the opportunity to catch at least one movie with Jason Voorhees (or his mother…or some faker!) killing nubile, young folks … Continue reading
It’s cold as hell
I met up with a friend for a few cocktails Wednesday night. My cab driver was a real nice fellow. What else would you expect from the Dark Lord? I don’t think it’s any coincidence that I was hung over … Continue reading
