It starts off well for the first six hours. I sleep pleasantly enough on my side until I wake up on my back. One (or several) call(s) to the night nurse gets me laying with my left cheek on the pillow once again. This pattern typically continues until the caregiver comes in at a quarter [...]

Hey there, lads and lasses, and welcome back to another vote for your favorite caption in our latest edition of our contest. Choose the best one and cast your ballot in the poll that appears just below the picture of the most handsome San Brunon (or is it San Brunan) teenaged boy circa 1983.
A Rebranding Opportunity

Most evenings, from about 8 o’clock onward, the time I spend on the recliner with the Bi-Pap tethered to my face is a complete mystery to me as to how the television program I catch the beginning of actually ends.

Now that we’ve landed in September on the calendar, the San Francisco Giants season comes down to the final 25 games. It’s good that every one of those games are against the pathetic National League West, including six against the division leading (and not pathetic) Arizona Diamondbacks. It’s also good that usually the starting pitchers [...]
