MONDAY MORNING DISPATCH (6/2/25)

1)  Finally deleted my Substack account.

I could deal with the occasional political talk. It’s not as bad on there as it is on other social media sites. I could deal with the occasional trolls, too. They’re not in the vast majority like they are on Xitter (or whatever the heck Musk’s personal trolling site is called these days).

I even was able to ignore the COVID deniers, the people who started popping up and saying COVID was never a real threat, it’s just a bad cold, etc. You know the type:

“I got COVID, and it was no big deal.”

MONDAY MORNING DISPATCH (5/26/25)

1)  I’ve never watched a full episode of THE SOPRANOS, but I’ve seen tons of clips of the show on YouTube.

This isn’t an attempt at that kind of weird bragging you see sometimes, where there’s a discussion of a popular show and someone snidely says, “I’m happy to report I’ve never watched a single episode of this overhyped show.”

No, nothing like that. I have nothing against the show. Just personally, I’ve never seen a reason to give it a watch.

MONDAY MORNING DISPATCH (5/5/25)

1)  I hate driving.

Besides how boring it is, the main reason I hate driving is other drivers. I realized the other day that my typical driving routine is broken up thusly:

50% yelling at other drivers who changed lanes or made a turn without using their blinker.

10% yelling at drivers who obliviously have their blinker on all the time.

40% yelling at other drivers who slow down for green lights.

The first two groups, I understand. They’re idiots.

MONDAY MORNING DISPATCH (4/28/25)

1)  A while back, my son asked me to write a story about him. I said, “Sure!” Then time went by.

I worked on something. Scrapped it. Worked on something else. Scrapped that.

I finally worked on what I thought it would be. Got almost finished, and realized it was not the story he would want, or what I originally envisioned. Also, he had matured quite a bit during that time, and he was reading things at an older level. My originally story was aimed at an elementary school-age kid, and he was reading YA books.

MONDAY MORNING DISPATCH (4/14/25)

1)  This past week, the defense team for Bryan Kohberger was in court, trying to get all kinds of motions granted. You know who Bryan Kohberger is:

The dead-eyed Ph.D. student accused of murdering four Idaho college students.

Bryan has an airtight alibi. He was stargazing at the time of the murders.

And also, that knife that his Amazon account shows he purchased? He doesn’t know anything about it.
