Last year, Elizabeth Warren was one of the presidential candidates I supported early on. Clearly, I am somewhat disappointed that she did not do better in the primaries. However, I am going to vote for Joe Biden, enthusiastically. Is he my dream candidate? No. Do I agree with everything he says or does? No. […] What a find this was: I started digging through my cupboard. Either it is overstuffed or the flatpack cupboard is starting to see the end of its lifespan, some 17 years after it was initially assembled. I’ve had to reattach one of the doors about 3 times (an easy enough fix, but still….). Maybe […] This book, by Steve Gunderson and Rob Morris (with Bruce Bawer), was one of the few non-academic books that I kept in my dorm room at the University of Wyoming, the last year that I was a graduate student. It was published in September 1996 – so just after I had graduated with my […] Monday’s mails brought me my $1200 stimulus check. Fuck you very much. Nothing I say has not already been said about the insanity that is having an asshole’s name on the check. No: I am not an asshole; nor is Vena S. Robinson. At the suggestion of a friend, I have already donated $1200 […] This button, which is attached to the bulletin board that hangs in the hallway to my kitchen, is a reminder of a better – no – great America: an America that could see a better future for everybody. I really do not want to harp on how bad Donald Trump has been, is, or […] For family reasons I visit Denver once a year – the timing is always a bit in question – last year was October, this year also October – this year because Dan Savage brought the Hump! Tour to Denver. Hump is, as he explained it, an accident: back in 2005, Dan Savage and a colleague […] The door was locked — no way to see the treasures of the Native Americans who lived in the region. After loading up on cliff dwellings at the Ute Mountain Tribal Park and Mesa Verde National Park, today’s plan to visit the Anasazi Heritage Center was a bust. All thanks to Todd Young, my […] Thanks to a vacation policy that I don’t quite understand, back at the end of September I was granted an extra day off this year, which I immediately applied toward taking today off. As the election progressed, I came to realize that I would either be very happy or very depressed today, and in either […] Over the last couple of weeks I’ve had a lot more interactions with Americans than I normally do, and I was reminded of two things that I find annoying about the States. First, the drinking age is 21. I cannot think of a single good logical reason for this to be so. Second, health insurance […] I neither got around to reviewing the second Eurovision semi-finals, nor to discussing the Eurovision Finals – badAdam. I have a good excuse: I was exhausted and any free time I had this weekend, I was asleep. Friday’s super early alarm (4:30, after 5 hours of sleep) in combination with a late evening (home past […] |
