And Now…Radio Klutz Hospital…The Continuing Sto-oo-ry of a Jock Who’s Gone To The Docs

(Yes, the headline is Muppet-related. But it seemed a more jocular headline that “Poor Poor Pitiful Me, I Am In The Hospital”!” Yesterday was Sunday. The last day of a very abnormal weekend for your humble correspondent. Abormal not because of what I did, because of how I slept. On Friday and Saturday night, I … Continue reading And Now…Radio Klutz Hospital…The Continuing Sto-oo-ry of a Jock Who’s Gone To The Docs

Late Night Commercials

So…it’s Friday night, 1:53am. I am awake. I fell asleep way too early and woke up in time to watch a “Seth Meyers” rerun from before Thanksgiving. Truth be told, this has been a rotten week health-wise. I actually wrote a blog post earlier this week about it, but it turned out so depressing I … Continue reading Late Night Commercials

Twitch 2: Part 2 of…

I’ve said before that when it comes to the health challenges I face, there are good days and bad days. This week has started with two particularly rotten ones. Yesterday and today I’ve had headaches, terrible balance, and slurred speech. Guess which one of these really makes my job difficult? Every commercial I’ve had to … Continue reading Twitch 2: Part 2 of…

The Thanks-Giving: 2019

This little tradition started on MySpace, was transitioned to Facebook, and from here on will find a home on the ol’ blog. The first year I did this I was 33 years old, so I wrote 33 things for which I was thankful. Since I wrote the original list of 33 I have lost a … Continue reading The Thanks-Giving: 2019

The Big Day In The Big D

This essay, which I originally wrote for my MySpace blog in 2006, has been slightly edited to update it, and to correct some lousy word choices and phrasing. At this moment I am listening to a one-hour internet audio stream of what people were hearing 56 years ago today, on station KLIF Dallas. This is … Continue reading The Big Day In The Big D

Marketing: Honestly, It’s Not For Everyone

Earlier today on Facebook I tapped into my inner wiseacre and discussed this new anti-drug campaign in South Dakota: The internet, as you can imagine, had a field day with it. And I offered my suggestions for alternate state slogans: -South Dakota: Everything you always wanted in a state. And meth.-South Dakota: Great places, great … Continue reading Marketing: Honestly, It’s Not For Everyone

Twitch 2: Electric Bugaloo (Part 1 of…)

In July I went to Denver and was told by two crack neurosurgeons that my Chiari malformation did not require surgery. It was reassuring…as close to a clean bill of health that somebody as messed up as I am can get. Ah well…America loves a sequel. I started feeling really lousy earlier this Fall. Some … Continue reading Twitch 2: Electric Bugaloo (Part 1 of…)

The Christmas Vault: The Specials

Kalin Krohe, a couple weeks back said to me, “You know what you should do with that blog of yours? Post all the Christmas shows you’ve done over the years.” I have to admit that’s a good use of this space. What I didn’t realize is how difficult it would be! For some reason, WordPress … Continue reading The Christmas Vault: The Specials

(Walt) Disney+: First Day Thoughts

Disney Plus! A streaming service which has scores of animated classics, every episode of the Simpsons, most Muppet movies and a bunch of other stuff. I signed up for this weeks ago, knowing it would be appealing. My greatest hopes for Disney+ were that they would throw a bone to old-school fans like me, and … Continue reading (Walt) Disney+: First Day Thoughts

Those Good Old Days

Not too very long ago I wrote something here on the old bloggerino about people needing to be more civil and kind on Facebook. It’s that whole thing of people being really brave when they don’t have to look a person in the eye. Well, today I got into a little bit of a brou-ha-ha … Continue reading Those Good Old Days
