Mrs. Peel tipped me this I think, and it’s f’n’ awesome.
I am headed to Houston in a bit. BBQ. Baseball tonight, Astros and the Red Sox. America.
I hope you all have a terrific 4th of July Independence Day weekend. I’ll be back to mess with you tomorrow.

My friend George recently moved and had to downsize the practice room. I totally forgot about this subwoofer, which he ain’t got room for anymore so I had to go collect it up and find a place in the garage for it.
Takes 250 watts just to make it say “hullo baby”. When I had this thing goin on, and I hit a low B on the five string, chicks within 100 feet would ovulate.
100% no bullshit.
True story.

Ok, here’s the deal. I buy things I like, and I stick em in the ground, and I hope for the best.
Sometimes it works out. Sometimes not so much.
There is no plan. There is only hope, and random experience.

Michael, it seems you were right.
Wow. That was difficult.
I mentioned after the big unusual freezes here that I keep saying are unusual AND YET we’ve had em back to back for the past two winters, that I thought we lost both sago palms. I didn’t even bother looking at this one until today.
Look closer…

Somebody I know needs some nails trimmed.
After we became reacquainted he expressed remorse by licking my face off. He’s huge, and a very beautiful black lab.
ALSO!

Not Your Gramma’s Jigsaw Puzzle March 3, 2011
Posted by Retired Geezer in Crime, Family, Sex.72 comments
Since Michael is getting noticeably older, what with the white hair and all, I thought I would help ease him into the world of Geezerhood.
I remember my both my grandmas loved to do jigsaw puzzles, occasionally I would help them. Let’s face it, Jigsaw Puzzles are cheap entertainment for those on a fixed income. Mrs. Geezer received a nice puzzle from her cousins in California. They visited us last week and enjoyed working on it for 3 days but still didn’t finish it. After they left Camp Geezer, I was called in to help with the process. Dang, that puzzle was hard! It took us 5 hours to finish it.
Apparently the new puzzles are not like the old ones that I was familiar with. The new ones brag that they are “Premium Quality – No Two Pieces Alike”. Let’s just take a look at those pieces, shall we?
What twisted mind invented this concept?
Is this a sign of my dementia kicking in?
I know that doing stuff with your brain is supposed to be good for geezers but this is cruel and unusual punishment. I am now forced to sort the pieces by: color, shape, size and religious affiliation.
“Honey, have you seen the burnt umbra/mauve piece that looks like a dinosaur?”
Arrrrrghhh.
Since I’m a glutton for punishment, we opened the other puzzle she got for Christmas.
The more astute among you may notice that this puzzle is about surprise! Horses.
When this one is complete, we can work on the one that I bought at Wal*Mart. I sure hope it’s an Old-School puzzle. Don’t think my brain can handle another abstract cognitive perception trauma.
*note to Cathy: When buying a puzzle for Michael, consider one with less than 500 normal pieces.
The Executive Portrait February 17, 2011

Our marketing person called me last week and said “I need a photograph of you and an updated bio for the website.” I groaned. “Can’t we just use the picture from my badge?” He said no, it had to be the standard professionally done executive headshot.
Most of you know I was recently promoted, and that unfortunately means being included in company info and the leadership page on our website (no linky besides it isn’t posted yet). Sigh. I haven’t had a portrait of just me made since I was a senior in high school, and that one sucked too. Anyway he made me an appointment to go see a chick who took a bunch of pics of me. I didn’t like any of em but we finally settled on this one.
I got a lot of problems with it.

…how a senior executive with a global telecommunications conglomerate could be counted on to formulate something daily for this blog but a retired ne’er-do-well can’t find the time to write a stinkin’ weekly main page comment? Discuss among yourselves.
