Tonight is Burns Night!

Given current events, is it okay to skip the neeps and haggis and simply drink a lot of single malt?

(If so, I'll start celebrating Burns Night several nights a week.)

Once upon a time, I had amazing concentration. I would enter a fugue state and get incredible amounts of work done.

I now have the attention span of a puppy with ADHD surrounded by squirrels.

.... I forgot where I was going with this post.

The mistake made by Bishop Budde was in preaching a sermon.

An exorcism is what was really needed.

Apparently, Trump has asked Melania for an open marriage arrangement.

He still wants to remain married to her, for appearances's sake.

It's just that he's going to devote most of his energy to screwing the country.

Few things can compare to that sense of accomplishment to spending 8 hours to do a chore that a competent electrician would have done in 3, and only needing 2 bandages and some advil. Even better -- it only required one trip to the hardware store!

I seem to recall doing this once in a group, and @drpattie interjecting, "I believe this species uses the word ',' dear."

I thanked her and continued.

And people wonder why we're a couple.

Reminded of how to handle temporary instances of aphasia (mostly when I am undercaffeinated and overstressed):

"I can't remember your human word for it."

If asked what I mean by that, I respond, "Oops, you weren't supposed to hear that. Never mind."

At this point, the other person is left with questions (although not more than usual when interacting with me) and has forgotten the original thread of conversation.

"I don't want to go to school today. I don't feel well, the administrators and faculty hate me, and the students all make fun of me."

Reality intrudes. Pattie:

"You have to go in, Gene — you're responsible for teaching the class."

I got a big raise today!

Admittedly, it was simply the dosage of my blood pressure medication, but it's all I'm likely to see this year so I'll take it.

I have gotten a lot done this holiday season, but only if you consider gaining weight and shitposting.

When hunting, a cheetah can accelerate to 60mph in seconds, and people exclaim it is an awesome display of nature.

When I do it, falling down stairs, people shake their heads and assert it is time for an intervention.

May your 2025 be without undue trauma!

We're going to stay up until midnight this New Year's Eve.

Not because we are at a party or celebrating -- it is to be certain that 2024 leaves.
