For what you are about to receive, may you be truly thankful. 🙂 The GrandThing subreport: GrandThings are doing well. Thing 1 is crawling when…

First, in GrandThings news, they’ve both had their 1-year checkup a bit late (Thanks, Wuflu-drive staffing shortages. That crap is the gift that keeps on…

First a note on the GrandThings. Grandthings celebrated their first birthday last weekend, much to the enjoyment of the assembled family and friends. Much cake…

It’s been an interesting month since the last report, mostly in a Chinese interesting sort of way. Plus it’s been an expensive month around here.…

Three months since I did a report? And it’s taken me a week to write this one. Bad Freeholder! Grandthings go first. At a little…

I started this post off Sunday as a Sunday Reading entry, and then life decided to get in the way again. So here we are…

Where the bloody hell is all my time going? It seems that the older I get, the faster it disappears and the less I have…

It’s been a busy few days around here. In macro news, I’ve noted these data points from the ongoing process of collapse: Polio declared a…

Apologies for the lack of substantial posting, but I’ve been busting it in the real world, or busting it as much as this tired body…

In macro news, I’m seeing items that seem to point toward food and energy conditions getting worse. Many of those items are from subscription sources,…

Show of hands-who is tired of the Dog Days of summer yet? I know that everyone I’ve talked to recently is totally over this hot…
