Hey, Fellow “Creators”. We’re More Like Uncle Floyd Than Mr. Beast
I suppose I could legitimately claim to being a “content creator” just like so many far younger folk seem to similarly self-identify. After all, I’ve been doing this now for pretty much the lion’s share of 66 months and between this and our sister site THE DOUBLE OVERTIME have authored roughly 3000 of these musings.
Clearly, Any Schmo Can Run For Office. What Stopped You?
Maybe it’s all those state fairs and all those fried Oreos that’s scrambling the minds of Midwesterners this summer. Or maybe it’s just the fact the political factions of states like Minnesota and Wisconsin really identify with and love Billy Joel’s classic lament “I Go To Extremes”.

A League–And A Series–Of Their Own.
NOTE: This musing also appears today on our sister site THE DOUBLE OVERTIME. Please visit it regularly for coverage of sports of all sorts plus occasional essays on business and technology. It was not a bad weekend at all for females who am comfortable with bats and balls. And no, smartass, I don’t mean either
Get Ready For AI-Witness News
For a seasoned and passionate TV news afficiando this past week’s headlines have been more than a little gut-wrenching.

Hail To The Conquering Zeroes
It’s kinda ironic that perhaps the most stark example of exactly how divided a party that desperately needs unity is transpiring in real time in the only state that is physically separated into two distinct parts. CNN’s Ethan Cohen is live-blogging as we type: The sun is coming up over Washington, DC, and the Michigan
I’m SO Ready To Be Roped In Again.
At the risk of being still more redundant than usual, I’ll own that this recent heat wave has been kicking my butt pretty harshly. And with yet another birthday that I’m candidly not all that thrilled about–and the extremely growing prospect that it will be quite lonely–fast approaching let’s just say that I’ve been in
