Over in the United Kingdom, they love their game shows–I mean, “Panel Shows”. They’ve got loads of panel shows over there featuring celebrities who have fun matching wits with one another and there’s little emphasis on points.  Via the YouTube app on my tv, I’ve checked out a few of these, and in some ofContinue reading “YouTube Rabbit-Hole: “Would I Lie To You?””

Had my appt. and 3 hour immunotherapy session in the chair. They had good security and a checkpoint at the door, where they asked people questions, made sure they were masked up and took their temperature.  Talking to the Doc, he said they predict that we’re supposed to hit “the peak” this week or next. Continue reading “Incoming Rant”

Life Under The Oppressive Thumb of COVID-19 is pretty much like life was before it, for me, anyway. Remember, I’m the guy who barely left the house for the last several years.  But for everyone else, this is becoming quite the shift in people’s routines. Maybe that’s a good thing, and not just from aContinue reading “When It’s Over, Who Goes Where?”

It really wasn’t my intention to get this old this quick. I’d have put it off, really. Although I hate putting things off. I like to get it done, get it over with, etc. just waiting for something is tedious. It’s like when you have to go to a wedding. Sure, it’ll be nice toContinue reading “The Pill Case…”

I remember I was getting comics in the early ’70’s from the grocery store, this was ’71, ’72, early ’73. It was usually the neighborhood Jewel store. It was catch as catch can in those days, with no convenient area comic store around. I think it was the late ’70’s before they started popping upContinue reading “Finding Comics, Then and Now”

My earliest memory is — I believe — me drowning. Some deep, buried, vague memory. I can only assume I was a toddler. It certainly wasn’t me being born like some water baby, as that “new age” stuff was I think well after my mother’s time and even if it wasn’t, that’s not my mom’sContinue reading “Man of infrequent action- Drowning interlude”

You know, without barber shops and stylists during this pandemic… for the next two? Three? Six? Eight months? That’s gonna get interesting. They’re gonna get hairy. Really, unless you have a family member that knows what they’re doing, or you’re ready to just shear yourself like a sheep… …we gonna get hairy. Oh baby. DoContinue reading “We Gonna Get Hairy”

This is the day where you go almost anywhere on the internet, and you start reading an article that almost doesn’t seem too outlandish in our world today, then suddenly it seems ridiculous, then you think WTF?!?!, then you notice the date.  I guess a lot depends on how early it is, if you’ve forgottenContinue reading “Fool Me Once…”

You’re stuck at home. The entire family is stuck at home. After you take care of any necessary work, emails, etc., you have to fill the time. Yeah, sure, there’s tv–it IS a great time to watch that old movie you’ve heard about for years but never got around to watching. You take strolls aroundContinue reading “Quarantine Home Projects”

Everyone’s sheltering at home, and if they want to work out, they now have to DO it at home. Believe it or not, I have tips. Several, in fact. But what ho…..you say “Rick, you’re a tree trunk of a blob! Surely, you don’t exercise!” Ah, but I do. Really, it’s the best place TOContinue reading “So, You Say You’re Forced to Exercise at Home now…”
