“We are Forerunners. Guardians of all that exists. The roots of the Galaxy have grown deep under our careful tending. Where there is life, the wisdom of our countless generations has saturated the soil. Our strength is a luminous sun, towards which all intelligence blossoms… And the impervious shelter, beneath which it has prospered.”

Monday morning turkey stuffing

So much for the weekend – it just plain whizzed by. However, I doubt my American readers are particularly fussed, because this week is going to be, for them, a half-week, at best. That is because the annual tradition of Thanksgiving is right around the corner....

Monday morning Badlands bashing

Once again, the weekend really zipped by way too fast. Indeed, they all seem to be doing that now, as we charge headlong toward the end of 2025. And what a crazy year it has been. Not only have the days been getting shorter and more urgent, somehow, but the years...

Monday morning salaryman life

Well, that weekend went by far too quickly – as they all do. Things seem to e accelerating as we get closer to the end of the year. Or maybe that is simply because I am getting older – time seems to shift a lot faster now that I am no longer in my...

There goes the weekend, and here comes Monday. I hope y’all enjoyed letting the kids out to go begging door to door for candy – and that they did not then suffer from the consequences of too much sugar in their bloodstreams all at once. If you were unfortunate enough...

Monday morning Campaign crasher

Well, so much for that weekend… it came and went faster than the average Taco Bell meal passes through one’s digestive system, and now we are left with a Monday which hardly makes the effort seem worthwhile. The days are getting shorter and a heck of a lot colder –...

Monday morning slop-serving

Another week, another Monday, and another attempt to grin and bear it while showing up to put in as little effort as possible to ensure you get paid at the end of the month. At least, that is how most of us see the day, and with, admittedly, very good reason. Mondays...

So much for that weekend, then. It came, it went, it sucked – at least, it did where I was, because it was cold, foggy, wet, and just plain… disgusting. The worst part, of course, was that it was just a taster for the worst day of the week – MONDAY....

Monday morning gears of gore

I saw a satirical picture earlier this morning, which said that the Duma had proposed to change the names of the days of the week. Rather appropriate, instead of Monday through Friday, the joke was that the Russian government wants to name the days, “Denial, Anger,...
Monday morning iron men

Monday morning iron men

It is, of course, Monday, and that really sucks, especially if you had my kind of weekend. I won’t go into details, but involved a major argument that kept me out of the gym on a Sunday night. And that just pissed me off, because iron is a man’s best friend – or...

Monday morning mismanagement consulting

It most definitely is not summer anymore – in either hemisphere, as it happens. If you are in the northern hemisphere, this is the time when all the pumpkin spice crazies (almost all of them female, the remainder sackless soyboys) come crawling out of the woodwork. If...
