Old(ish) lib widower/proud dad. ❤️ my politics with a punk shell & a chewy middle. Books/movies I loved should’ve prepared me better for an apocalyptic fight w/fascists. Would def whack baby Hitler & Drumpf. 🇺🇦 🇺🇸 San Diego kid now in PNW Aztecs/Pads always

Thank you, Tatis! We (the San Diego fans) do deserve it! #Padres

No Bill Murray sightings tonight at Petco? Did last night’s rout change his mind? I might sell a kidney to sit next to him for a full game. #CubBusters #FriarFaithful #Padres

My household in a nutshell: the kid and I watched the new Jackass and then went right into the new season of Great British Baking Show

I’ve loved everything Sharon Horgan has done so I’m not surprised her new show Youth on HBO is not just good but fucking great. Her wit just blows my mind (& if you’ve seen the 1st ep you’ll know it’s the only thing she’s blowing)

Besides bringing 5! Sombrero burritos home from her trip back to San Diego my daughter brought home some of my favorite beer. I raised a good kid. #beersky #Padres

My daughter is visiting our hometown & wanted to see a #Padres game (tonight vs the Yankees) while there. Dang, I miss San Diego.

Because I read Legacy of Heorot so long ago I didn’t realize there were 2 more books! Guess I got busy or something. Anywho, I love the fucking library 📚

This expensive little old lady (inoperable non-malignant tumor on neck & hyperthyroidism) wanted to pause my Nazi-killing (Sniper Elite 4) so I could give her some love - which she most certainly deserves.

While I’m drinking & sharing I do believe (because I’m alternative to the bone) this cover by one of my fav bands is without question superior to the original. 😁😅 Yeah, I said it! 😁

Hi I’m a swimming pool & this 7 year old doesn’t know how to swim & his mom is off drunk somewhere in this house that’s not theirs …also… Hi I’m Crohn’s disease & because you’ve not had proper med care I’m going to swallow you whole & shit you out of your own body

In ‘91 I got dumped by my girlfriend/boss at the theater we worked at & Bob Mould’s Black Sheets of Rain was the cathartic “lunch” break I took in my ‘82 El Camino. I’d work up a nice sweat sing-screaming along to the perfect music for how heartbroken I was. And then back to work!

I honestly don’t know how people can afford to go to professional games. Petco sells out the majority of #Padres games. I felt it was expensive in ‘19 before I moving. I allowed myself 1 or 2 games a year with my daughter or friends. My kid is visiting in Sept & got tix vs Yankees omg the prices!

I’m pretty sure Republicans would be cool with digging up the corpse of Joe McCarthy and running his red scare playbook.

I’m related to #Dodgers manager Dave Roberts through some convoluted stepfamily history. Haven’t spoken to him since we were both teenagers in San Diego. I already despised the step-side of the family he was marrying into but now I can easily add him. #friarfaithful #fucktrump

As a long-suffering, lifelong #Padres fan it’s always been easy to say Fuck the Dodgers but, man oh man, it could not be easier to say (& more warranted) after seeing them bend the knee to a fascist traitor…FUCK the #Dodgers #fuckla

I had a 20 minute conversation with the #Padres offense today and unlike Mitch they’re alive. That WILL change their next game out I’m sure.

I want to know what Mark and Tom did in San Diego that won’t them go back to San Diego. Did they start a cult and coerce their followers to kill themselves? Did they release a kaiju on San Diego? Did they become co-mayors and outlaw Mexican food? Was Tom right about UFOs? I need to know!

Quick Tip: "Don't speak ill of the dead" means dont demean, or spread lies, or speak malicious untruth about dead people, who cant defend themselves Accurately describing someone's life and legacy is not "speaking ill" It's the truth - which is self justifying in that it is the truth!

Every time I come across “quietened” or “quietening” in a book my brain (& my tongue!) tries to fight me. They refuse to believe they are proper words. As my wife used to say Words are hard, yo! #booksky

I have usually thought(& said) I wouldn’t wish the severity of my almost lifelong battle w/Crohn’s on anyone but trump & his cult hardened me & I want every one of them to writhe around in ungodly pain on the floor in the fetal position & question how much of this they can take. I’m good w/that.

Saw this in/on 1 of the 3 largest screens in San Diego back then. I ended up working at another of them (Cinema 21) in the early 90’s. Sadly all of them are gone.

So I’ve got a foolproof plan to become a millionaire by October: I’m just going to bet my Padres will lose every game. Sure I’ll be wrong some days but I’ll double the bet the following game and I’m pretty, pretty, pretty sure my Pads won’t let me down 😔 🤎💛 Damn, this season has been disappointing.
