Rants and Ravings of a Misguided Dreamer and Observer
Salutations™!! Yesterday was 3B’s birthday and I got to text with him but not talk with him. But, he was working. The BCPF and I went to Underdog Records, to eat, the grocery store and to eat. But in between all that we listened to a few records, too. Here’s our haul” New Order – Education Entertainment…
Salutations™!! Today is my son’s 19th birthday… I love that guy. I remember getting up at 4am 19 years ago and getting his mother and myself ready to relieve her discomfort and welcome our child into this world. He didn’t want to come out, either. We were there by 530a and got settled in. The…
Salutations™!! Today, Dear Reader, is my ninth birthday. My ninth second birthday that is. Nine years ago today, I was shorn of every hair on my body that wasn’t on my head. Every single hair, from my chest, to my back, my armpits, my legs, there all the way down to the hairs on my…

Salutations™!! I have to stop and talk, real quick about my boy, 3B. Yeah, he’s technically a man now but he’s always gonna be “my boy.” 2020 hasn’t been what he thought his senior year would be. But, that’s all over and he’s graduated primary school. Next, he moves on to a new life, one…
Salutations™!! The record post will be tomorrow. Today is Father’s Day, my 18th. My son was born in May and I have now had 18 of these things. I love that he let me be one. I had to earn the title “Dad.” As I say on The Beer Dads every week, “any knucklehead can…

Salutations™!! Today was the culmination of 13 years of matriculation for my only child, my son, my world, 3B. He started out the brightest in class and hit some snags when it became less than important to him. Over the past couple of years, though, he’s found his direction with the culinary path. Of course,…
Salutations™!! Today, at 242p, my “itty bitty boy,” 3B, will be 18 years old. Technically, no longer a “boy” and now a man. Here’s my post from a year ago with some edits to fit the current situation. I remember getting up at 4am 18 years ago and getting his mother and myself ready to…
