i know you've been wondering where i've gone! or been!
I wasn't in jail, or getting a sex change, or getting a sex change in jail.
My wife gave birth last week to a delightful little girl named Mira.
so i've been off, basically running interference between the baby and a very inquisitive french bulldog. because the baby hasn't gotten her shots, we can't let the little guy near her. so i'm basically keeping him busy while wife does that "other" stuff. its been a surreal amazing experience. Being superstitious, we didnt want to tell anyone until the baby was born. I would write more here, but i am literally on 24 hour emergency assistance - when Elena wants something I have to get it, or I get tazed.
As for Mira, she's got her mothers looks, and her fathers dislike for Brian Kilmeade. I turned on fox and friends this morning, and she cried incessantly until i turned it to something less disturbing (Dexter).
my guess is, i'll probably be back to work in the new year, no later.
but possibly sooner -who knows! this is a first time thing for us, so your guess is as good as mine!
thanks for being here in the gutter with me!

If you could solve any unsolved mystery what would you want to solve?
Mamdani has shown in his very first event exactly how his tenure will proceed. He announces to his subjects that there will be a huge block party celebrating him and everyone is invited to attend. People arrive to find a penned up parking lot, with no tables, seats, food, bathrooms or anything having been done to create the party that they were invited to. They were expected to create the party themselves.
Prepare for more of the same - he announces what he wants but does nothing to make it happen. If you want what he is "giving" you, then you will have to make it happen yourselves. Lotsa luck with that.
In honor of @johnconner2046 who is training a batallion of our ICE agents the proper way to say goodbye in Somali to those who are leaving the country. The official procedure, as per instructions from Trump, is found in the first meme below.
In John's honor a joke and some memes.
My wife left a note on the fridge saying, "This isn't working, goodbye."
I opened the refrigerator and it works just fine. Weird.
How do mathematicians say goodbye?
Calc u later!
How to say goodbye in German.

Some New Year Celebratory Trivia -
The first place on Earth to ring in the New Year is the Pacific island nation of Kiribati, specifically its easternmost islands like Kiritimati (Christmas Island), thanks to its location near the International Date Line (IDL) and its decision to shift the line eastward, making it UTC+14. While uninhabited locations near the pole might see the sun first, Kiribati is the first inhabited place with organized celebrations, followed closely by Tonga and Samoa.
Why Kiribati?
-
International Date Line: The IDL marks the boundary where each new day begins, and Kiribati's president moved it to curve around the nation in 1995.
-
Time Zone: This adjustment placed Kiribati in the UTC+14 time zone, making it the first to enter January 1st.
-
Inhabited & Organized: Kiritimati is a large coral atoll with residents who celebrate the New Year hours before most of the world.
Other Early Celebrators:
- Tonga & Samoa: These neighboring Pacific islands are also among the first to celebrate, ...
