Well, hello there…don’t you look mahvelous! It’s an indisputable fact that Gazette readers are above average in both intelligence and pulchritude. But, please…try to be humble about it when in the midst of your less well-endowed acquaintances. Today is National Devil’s Food Cake Day, which would normally be a cause for celebration, except that it’s… Continue reading Random Thursday: The Drought Edition

Random Thursday: The “Words Are Fun” Edition
Wherein we play around with some words (as opposed to making them work).
Random Thursday: Remembrances of Futures Past
Howdy, y’all. I see that it’s been awhile since there was anything new on this blog-like thing, and you can either thank me or accept my apology, depending on your perspective. Anyway, today is National Great Poetry Reading Day, and in recognition of this hallowed event, I present the following in honor of Joyce Kilmer,… Continue reading Random Thursday: Remembrances of Futures Past

Wherein we mock people who don’t meet our standards for loading groceries on the checkout conveyer belt. And so on…

*Not really. I’m just getting a head start on That Day Which Shall Not Be Named But Which Occurs Tomorrow.
Random Thursday: The SOTW Edition
So, I’m sure you’re reading this on a day later than Thursday. But I started this post ON a Thursday, so technically this is a legitimate Random Thursday post. That’s what we in the trade call “poetic license.” Or “lying.” I often get them confused. Anyway, whenever you read “today,” just pretend it’s Thursday, March… Continue reading Random Thursday: The SOTW Edition
Random Thursday: The SPD Edition
Faith and begorrah, it’s Saint Patrick’s Day, and the Gazette is assuming a [very temporary] new look. Notice anything different? Actually, my immediate family — which, AFAIK, has no Irish heritage — has sort of a special relationship to SPD. I was born in the little Texas Panhandle town of Shamrock, and my brother was… Continue reading Random Thursday: The SPD Edition
Random Thursday
Howdy, y’all. Today is National Pack Your Lunch Day. It’s also National Blueberry Popover Day. Coincidence? I think not. So while you’re enjoying your minimum daily requirement of free-radical devouring blueberries via a tasty dough-based delivery system, here’s a peek into my incredibly fascinating life. I start each morning around six-ish with a cup of… Continue reading Random Thursday
Random Thursday: The BAU Edition
I don’t know about you, but this past week has taken a toll on my creativity and motivation. The depraved moral violation being foisted upon Ukraine is difficult to watch and ponder, even as my admiration for the Ukrainian people swells. Still, I think it’s important to try to claim some sense of normalcy, and… Continue reading Random Thursday: The BAU Edition
