With Love, DJ

The Duchess of Sussex has a new Netflix show out and I am fully on board.  I see a lot of parallels with my blog. The show’s reviews of “so awful it is almost compelling” and an “exercise in narcissism” could readily apply here.

I had a recent email exchange with my pal The Phoenix Flyboy.  He is one of the ten graced with being on the blog’s email list. He said he has made multiple efforts to report it as spam, but it just keeps showing up in his inbox. He’s just pissed because he doesn’t get enough mentions.

My sage elder brother reaches a big milestone on Monday. I’ll be calling to wish him a happy 70th birthday. We make a point of calling each other on our birthdays, carrying on the fine tradition of our father and uncle. If I forget to call, at least I have this post to let him know I was thinking about him at some point.

I’m not sure if I blog too much.  I got a reminder last night from #1 that he’d not seen any recent production when he was over for dinner.  Then I got an email plaint from JB this morning. I think the people on the email list think I blog too much, and most of the rest couldn't care less.  Then there’s outliers like #1 and JB.

I got a text yesterday from The Running Beast, brother of Wig.  Sadly, he has dropped FB, formerly our main communication vehicle. But he still makes an effort to keep me informed about important matters. He let me know JLo was pissed about all the pics of Ben and the other Jen. I feel for her.

JLo is a fashion icon, so she’d look great in this number.  I have 4M to thank for alerting me to this new creation. I think my wife would look good in it as well, but I’m pretty sure I couldn’t handle the cost.  On the up side, we’re getting all the ducting in the house replaced, so I could try to produce a knock off using the old ducting. Couture is my love language.

I just got back from my rigorous .7 mile hiking pole-assisted walk around FC neighborhood 2.  The local kids call me Mr. Sticks. I’ll be bumping it up to .8 on Monday.  I often listen to Pandora with the new ear buds my wife bought me, but today I was alone with my thoughts, a frightening miasma.

Remind me. Are tariffs on or off this week? Are we still in NATO? When the leader of the free world is both an apex predator and a clueless son of a bitch, it tends to give a person news whiplash. I should probably stick to tmz.com only. Also, all future posts will be in English as that is now our official language.

Selection Sunday is a week from tomorrow, so I’ll be sending the Yahoo Tourney invite to the usual suspects. One of the Cinderella candidates from a recent Athletic article is UCSD.  Go Tritons!!
