When I read stories like this…
I don’t understand why I am supposed to care about this whole #OccupyWallStreet protest. There is no platform, no legislative vehicle, no coherent call to action, no overriding message, and very little in the way of any point.
…and then read that the pilots union joined the occupation, followed by the [...]
Someday I’ll Get Paid for This

I have exposed [...]

He’s been an indoor cat his whole life, and he’s not really prepared for [...]
i Gotta Start Carrying a Camera
This morning around 8:00 AM while ile driving Sam to camp, I passed a man who looked like life had beaten the shit out of him walking up woodland avenue toward the VA Hospital carrying a bag of piss. He looked half drunk, he was disheveled and unshaven.
From the bag, there was a hose that [...]
I’m Still Alive.
hey folks, been busy with Sam. Light blogging, if any. Hope you understand.

A few weeks ago I wrote briefly that I have joined the ranks of the unenjoyed, brightly noting “Sometimes opportunity doesn’t so much knock as it shows you to the door.”
Since then, my benefits have arrived. I’ve submitted a letter of interest to a job coaching position, a friend at a global document management corporation [...]
