I Did Not Post Last Night

I was f%$#ing exhausted, that is all.

No family emergency or anything else. 

It's about 10th time that I have missed a day in almost 20 years.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Finally

 The power is back on.

No Blogging Tonight

Power has been out since about 7pm, and as yet, a crew had not been scheduled. 

As to what I did today, I was down in Cheverly for a sewing circle and terrorist society meeting, and I caught the July 4 flyover. 

I just saw some F-18s, some F-22s, a VC-25, a KC 135, and a KC 46.

No Posting Tonight

 Working on a medieval Lenten lasagna recipe using leavened noodles.

Cleaning Up Archived Drafts

Nothing major, but I have a backlog of stuff in draft that I have not cleaned up in a while.

If you are wondering why some older news or quotes are being blogged about, it's Spring cleaning.

No Blogging Tonight

I got back from Dayton late this evening and I'm completely wiped

I did get the opportunity to spend a little bit over 2 hours at the US Air Force museum in Dayton, and that was quite nice. 

I will show pictures later.

With Great Sadness, I Must Announce

 The end of, "Say Fuck January."

I'm sorry, but we have eleven months of, "f%$#," and "sh%$," ahead of us.

I feel like I'm f%$#ing losing the ability to speak. 

Hippo Gnu Yarr

All indications are that2026 will be worse than 2025.

Of course, "Say fuck January will continue until January 31st, though I am tempted to continue through January 335th. 

So my reader(s) should expect a bit of swearing for the next months, in addition to my early start. 

Hippo	Gnu	Yarrr!!!!

I hope for the best for you and yours, but recent evidence indicates that this is unlikely. 

Year End Summary

From a blogging perspective, this year has been a disappointment for me.

My output has hit a low  for me, around 1020 posts when all is said and done. (I typically try for about 100 posts a month)

Some of you will suggest that I should focus on quality rather than quantity, but as anyone who has read my screeds, it's pretty clear that I'm never gonna knock it out of the park on quality.

I'm not called the worst writer on the internet for nothing.  (OK, it's me wot calls me that, but still………)

As to my top 10 posts of the year according to Blogger stats, they are:

1. Remember Enron? (25 Dec)
2. All the Chinese Have to Do Is Wait for Us to Destroy Ourselves (26 Nov)
3. About That Google Antitrust Ruling (3 Sept)
4. So, How Corrupt is the Supreme Court (1 Sept)
5. Huh, I Had This Idea a While Back (2 Sept)
6. Is Goldman Sachs Running a Scam Right out of The Sting? (8 Jul)
7. Headline of the Day (31 Aug)
8. Snatching Defeat from the Jaws of Victory (29 Aug)
9. Headline of the Day (1 Sep)
10. Whatever the Reason, This is a Good Thing (1 Sep)

At least according to the Blogspot tools.

As to my year end summary of what actually happened here, I can only conclude that Osama bin Laden has won.

On the brighter side, I've done more brewing, and I made a kick ass recipe based on a Babylonian recipe. 

I'm Moving Up in this World

After an oft delayed review of my blog comments, I spam flagged 3 posts.

They were all just links to prostitution websites.

Here is a hint to would be hooker spammers:  Wait until I post about prostitueion or sex work.

At least then, you will be on topic. 

No Blogging Tonight

 I think that I am brewing something.

Still Here

 Life is getting in the way right now.

Yom Kippur is Over and ……… GREAT SHADES OF ELVIS!!!!

And it wasn't just one Whiskey Tango Foxtrot moment.

There were about a dozen WTF stories.

I hate this timeline. 

The fast for Yom Kippur went fine.  The re-integration into society?  Not so much. 

No Soup Blog for You!

I'm completely wiped. 

Today was Trial by Fire, a medieval cooking event, and while i did not compete, i did cook 2 different parked dishes under camping conditions.

In case you were wondering, i made a Lenten lasagna (no egg nor cheese, sweet with walnuts), and a biscuit from a recipe by Cato the Elder. 

I made the lasagna noodles from scratch, which was most of the work, even with a pasta machine.

Do I Need to Work on My Headlines More?

Just wondering.

It seems that the titles of my posts seem a bit flat lately. 

Going Down the Rabbit Hole

For me, it commonly involves historical recipes.

I'm looking up something, and suddenly I have spent over three hours looking up a Renaissance era Lenten (no meat, eggs, cheese, or butter at that point in history during Lent) lasagna recipe containing walnuts, sugar, cinnamon, and other spices.

It's called, "Monk's Head."

Other folks are obsessing about civil rights violations, jackbooted thugs kidnapping people of the street, and billionaire pedophile sex rings, and I'm doing old recipes.

I am the dullest mother f$#@er on the planet.

No Blogging Tonight

I have my country's 500th anniversary to plan, a wife to murder, a war to start, and Gilder to blame for it. 

I'm swamped.

Life gets in the way sometimes. 

Also, if you do not know where this quote comes from, I have one word for you, "Inconceivable!" 

 

No More Posting Tonight

 I am busy reconstructing/moving furniture.

Electric Power Just Came Back On

So, my blogging style will be slightly crimped this evening.

Light Posting for a While

For a good reason.

I'm doing homework for a bunch of interviews with a bunch of companies.

I'm not sure why it is picking up, but it is, and hopefully I will find something soon.
