• It’s the DICTATOR APPRENTICE show!

    Hello folks…it’s a happy jolly old time here the United States of America! Or should I say Amerika! I mean, think about it, your very basic freedoms are being challenged and a lot of you will be transformed into mindless sheep, zombie workers, basically slaves, that are only permitted to live because you serve your…

  • Ask not what your country can do for you…a visit to the JFK Library and Museum

    March 29 was a cold windy day in Massachusetts. I had taken the commuter rail into Boston and the Red Line subway to the JFK/UMass stop. Since, as usual I had drank too much coffee that morning and had to “use the facilities” as they say. In this case that was some convenient shrubs in…

  • Art, music, and sun! A visit to the Harvard Art Museums

    Well my lovelies, it is springtime and the art museums are multiplying like rabbits! And the rabbits are multiplying like art museums! 😀 Well actually Harvard has always had multiple art museums ‘cause they’re rich and if you’re that wealthy one art museum just ain’t enough! 😃 Originally the three museums, the Fogg, the Busch-Reisinger,…

  • The future is now…a visit to the MIT Museum

    I had visited the MIT Museum multiple times at its old location at 285 Massachusetts Avenue in Cambridge, Massachusetts and had always enjoyed the mixture of science, technology, and art exhibits. The museum was relocated to a new and expanded facility at 314 Main St. (The Grambrill Center), Cambridge, Massachusetts which is in the heart…

  • Let freedom ring…President’s Day

    Yes, President’s Day…there’s a lot to unpack with this folks. And considering the current “Commander-in-Chief”…well we’re in for a bumpy ride! 😜 First things first, “Gulf of Mexico”, “Gulf of America”, who cares? Hey dummy, Mexico is a part of America, North America of course! 😂 And, Mexico originally was much greater in size compared…

  • Killing time…the debate over Daylight Savings Time

    It sux right! The biannual aggravation of having to set your clocks forward so that you have to get up an hour earlier to go to work, school, massage parlor, gambling joint, race track, liquor store, marijuana dispensary, whatever you have to go to early😊. 6:00 am becomes 7:00 am and so forth. When did…

  • Animals, Trains, and Robots: Trains at Science Park

    For the holidays, Boston’s Museum of Science has an annual train exhibit featuring model trains and well as other exhibits. I thought that it would be a good idea to see it this year since my brother runs his own handyman business and needed a real break. We picked a Thursday since it was listed…

  • Midwinter Tropics…on a winter’s day

    As I alluded to in a previous post, I enjoy visiting the Isabella Stewart Gardner museum in Boston during our nasty Massachusetts winters. As a matter of fact, on the recent day that I went to the museum I rode my bike to the commuter rail station on a particularly cold and windy day. But…

  • Happy F*ckin’ New Year! 🙂

    Don’t ya just love New Year’s! 😊 A happy reminder of how old you’re getting and the start of the fun of having to write a new year on your checks and job applications! It’s the wonderful time of the year here in the Northern Hemisphere when we’re freezin’ our collective b*lls and t*ts off!…

  • Now it is Christmas…

    Yes, it is finally that time of the year again, one of the biggest holidays in the Christian calendar next to Easter. Me and my brethren are celebratin’ in our primitive wolf fashion, even though the holiday promises good will to all men, I decided to extend it to us in the animal kingdom as…

  • The soaps have taken over

    No, not General Hospital, The Bold and the Beautiful, As the World (Stomach) Turns, Dallas, or Dynasty…but the prevalence of the motion smoothing “feature” on all new TVs, the so-called dreaded “soap opera” effect. Instead of getting better, it has become almost a visual pandemic, as far as I can tell! It seems that whenever…

  • Playing Around the AI Tree with Automattic

    Since I’ve made the amazing discovery that WordPress has integrated many AI tools from the Automattic company, including what is called generative AI (think DALL-E, Stability AI. etc.) into its suite of website and blog arsenal I’ve been having the proverbial field day and have been puttin’ these pups through their paces (Best in Show,…
