Not As Often As I Used To

I Gotta Get Drunk
Favorite Lines:
There’s a lot of doctors that tell me
That I’d better start to slowin’ it down
But there’s more old drunks
Than there are old doctors
So I guess we’d better have another round

He’s Forgotten About Drugs And Rock ‘N Roll

In a culture where the aesthetic experience is denied and atrophied, genuine religious ecstasy rare, intellectual pleasure scorned, it is only natural that sex should become the only personal epiphany of most people.

So Sad, Faux Crowd

Over the last weekend, #IncompetentTrump was in Tulsa, Oklahoma to hold his first political rally since the COVID-19 shutdown started in March…
What the Trump campaign wanted us to see…
What the “crowd” actually looked like…  (Hint:  less than 1/3 capacity occupied.)
A dejected #DonTheCon returning to the White House (flaccid tie and hat in hand)…
What I hope to say in January 2021…
Get that LOSER off my grass!!!

I’m Older Now

You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of.  You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life.
—  Albert Camus
[When I was in my late 30’s, I lived and worked in Liverpool, England.  One day, I was standing at a urinal (doing what you do there) and an elderly (formerly retired) executive stepped to the urinal next to me.  As he was relieving himself, he let loose with a passage which I would politely describe as “a rolling ball of thunder”.
He half-notched his head towards me and said:  “Young man, when you get older you’ll find out that happiness is a dry fart.”
I’m still not sure about the meaning of life, but I can add that these days, my wife (who does our laundry) and I agree with him.  —  KMAB]
