It’s Not Your 19th MRI

I’m writing this one long-hand lying on my bed.  Why? Because I’m a lazy bastard. Also, because my right hip went whacko a couple weeks ago, and sitting for long is no picnic. Fortunately, I got in quickly to see my favorite physiatrist, who ordered a back MRI and put me on oral steroids. Yesterday he gave me a shot in the hip, but he thinks the problem is the back nerves, so it looks like I’ll be getting an epidural. Why am I blathering on about this? To garner as much sympathy as possible from my readership.  If you’re feeling particularly verklempt, send cash.

I see that they are moving the Inauguration indoors due to the cold forecast.  They had to do it because Trump’s bronzer cakes up below the freezing point.  Regardless of where they do it, I’ll be in bed in a fetal position, weeping. Musk, Bezos, and Zuckerberg will be there to represent the oligarchy. They’ve all made moves to bend the knee, with Zuck getting rid of DEI and fact checking.

It looks like the Democrats are in trouble, taking broadsides from such luminaries as Khloe Kardashian and James Woods, whose house burned down in the L.A. fire. Wait, no it didn’t. The Rethuglicans are getting in on the act by talking about placing conditions on aid to SoCal. Wait a minute Chester, you know I’m a peaceful man, but I’d like to get a roundhouse in on a couple of these SOBs, but I’d probably just fall down and hurt my other hip.

I saw this recent headline and all I can say is “Don’t I know it!”

There’s also rumblings that she and Kevin Costner have been making googly eyes at each other.  Don’t do it Kev.  Lastly on the JLo front, she’s been giving away a lot of her clothes to fire victims. Since she never wears anything twice, that is quite a sacrifice. Now the victims can be ridiculously overdressed as they try to navigate what the hell the next steps in their lives are.

In Foster City news, we had quite the soiree here last night to celebrate Tina’s retirement. The numbers and I made a career retrospective video which was followed by our live performance, along with TCG, of a Hamilton routine, since we're song and dance men.  #1 re-wrote the lyrics and at the end we pulled off our capes to expose our cocoanut bras. This was a throwback to an act we did for her 40th birthday. #1 put in a ton of work for the show and my wife did a great job with the food and decorations, even taking over my grilling duties. And many thanks to Katie for her help yesterday afternoon. Would you like me to post a video of our performance? Fuhgeddaboudit

Since this is my first post of 2025, you’ve probably been on pins and needles wanting to know the results of my football pool. I came in fifth for a $343 payout. I am now in the middle of the playoff pool and here are this weekend’s picks.
