Computer woes, again. It’s not like this is really big problem, but I have second Handsrping Visor I took back to Fry’s, for the second time. Color, too. Cool. Doesn’t work anymore. Not cool. Has a 2-year replacement warranty. Cool. They don’t have anymore of that model. Not cool. I left the apartment’s office a … Computer woes, again
According to my source, St. Romanus was a fifth century patron of the insane. Anyone who’s ever been on hold while waiting on a “customer care representative” needs this saint.

Some family business that needed attending to. Missed her, … Ten years on the road
Radioland. It was years ago, sunny winter afternoon in Corpus, on one of the highway loops around town, and I was coming home from the beach, after a working weekend. I was flipping through the radio channels, and I came across some “classic rock” wherein the local DJ announced that the song was off “Boston’s … Radioland
At dinner, with a table full of other psychics, seers, frauds, and assorted hangers on, I was idly chatting with an elderly reader from Dallas, an old friend.
