That’s what the Spanish would call it, this new discovery of mine.  Thinking I’d done about all one can with Allium sativum, and happy with that, some aging hippie at the Santa Fe farmers’ market sold me a little bottle of black garlic, telling me of its subtle taste and health benefits, but not revealingContinue reading “ajo negro”

Those holding the paperbacks of my Musing through a Corona books (1,2,3) can’t get to the many links. To help them get to the original WordPress posts, I provide here the following guide. Mr.Corona.  Musings about coronavirus. My Corona.  The pandemic needed a song!  After that proposal comes a lot of factual information about coronavirus,Continue reading “TOCs”

It was a game Bo woulda loved.  Protegée Jimmy -fielding his best-looking team since he got here – decided to attack the Huskies’ supposedly tough D by running it down their throats.  It worked.  343 rushing yards, plus 9 minutes plus time of possession.  Thunder Hassan Haskins carried 27 times for 155 yards and aContinue reading “down the hole, Bo”

You’ve probably heard by now how all us rednecks are turning to a “dewormer” to protect us against COVID (or its progeny) or even treat an established infection.  Of course, disaster has ensued, but don’t believe those reports of an epidemic of dewormer overdoses, as they have been debunked (1).  But what about this anyway? Continue reading “dewormer – Imovec™, Stromectol™”

As expected, the creeping tyranny mandating that all shall be vaxxed is not emanating from Uncle so much as from the private sector. Kathy and I were looking forward to traveling to Cleveland to see James McMurtry* – tonight was to have been the night – but that got postponed to sometime in April. TheContinue reading “life”

Finally catching my breath from a July that featured Kathy’s big birthday pre-retirement party and my 50th plus one high school reunion, I was ready to slide into that last month of summer, ready to cruise on into the new school year (hey, my wife’s a teacher, so I still feel it!).  Yeah, there wasContinue reading “August, whew!”

Yesterday, in an e-mail to my protegée and co-author Sara describing my frantic efforts to complete our project, I told her of a lunch break I took with my wife after what seemed a very productive morning: “Sensing victory, I took a break and went to Weber’s with Kathy to hear Coach Harbaugh at theContinue reading “lunch with Jimmy”

Sorry to subject you with poetry, but this just came to me as I arose from my nap this afternoon.  I love mornings, and always arise at 4 or 5 to embrace them.  So much different than when a 6 AM alarm was my call when I was working.  I just don’t sleep much inContinue reading “mornings”

And it came to pass last Friday, that there went out a decree from President Schlissel that all of U of M faculty shall be vaxed.  By start of classes August 30th.  Regardless of what, where, or how they taught.  Or even if they taught.  My dear wife, who must get one more term underContinue reading “vax fax”
