So Over It

A dyspeptic coda — If you have been following me you may know about my emotional turmoil concerning the impending death of my ex-wife. She died on Wednesday, May 24, 2023. I texted her brother concerning how I could pay my last respects but he informed me she left instructions that there should be…

All I Have to Do Is Die

Unlike men’s clothing, life is cheap — I thought I was going to have to learn a song and a few lines, but all this late stage feminist musical requires of me is my death. Simulated, of course. What did you think? One of the principals will descend from her lofty perch to the lower level where…

Right Time, Wrong Train

Existential terror on the Poughkeepsie Express — The train lurched into motion. My separation from the Poughkeepsie station grew along with my existential dread. The seats and layout didn’t look quite like the Amtrak local I rode three days earlier. The color was off. The seats were closer together. I held out my e-ticket to the conductor. …

Take Me Home

The dying do not play fair — Mother’s day 2023 A beautiful young woman with whom I was once very much in love, and who became the mother of two of my three children, now looks — I am not exaggerating at all — like she stepped out of a death camp liberation newsreel from the 1940s. …

Safety First

A BOFarticle — We humans make rituals out of everything. Rituals surround basic human events such as birth, sex, and death. I feel as if taxes should be in there somewhere — must be my inner Ben Franklin calling to me. Maybe you stand up, turn around three times, and check your zipper…

Science: Eat Road Kill

It’s MuddYummy! — Rising meat prices driving you into the sanctimonious arms of the vegans? Finding yourself eating like them, dressing like them, wearing the same stupid uncomfortable footwear as them, adopting that forlorn vegan countenance?¹ You know there’s something else, something beyond this absurd pretense, something more, something real. You can feel…

Passion

Music alone shall live, never to die — “Without music life would be a mistake” -Friedrich Nietzsche How do we explain the profound effect of music on human emotion? It brings joy, pleasure, pain, agitation, repose, sorrow. Joy when we hear something danceable and begin to move our bodies. …

Death

I bet you think I’m kidding — With spring in the air, love blooms. You can feel the love getting ready to burst out of the very soil! As far as my life goes though, I’m in the autumnal part, so the people I’ve surrounded myself with are starting to burst back into the soil, one by…

WTF Do I Do With This?

It’s not like I needed it — If you have been following me, you know that my ex-wife is busy dying of cancer, and that she is refusing treatment. It requires more than four hours of driving each way for me to visit her. To my great relief, I discovered she has friends out there where she…
