Tyner    October 14, 2015 May 14, 2017    No Comments on A Storyteller’s Stages – or – The Penmonkey wants his banana.

Watching Chadwick Boseman's fight scenes as Black Panther are all the more amazing now that you realize he was fighting cancer while kicking someone's ass.

I know it's irrational to blame the weather on the weather man, but it's my birthday tomorrow, and my wife said she would take me to the zoo to see the red panda.

For the last week or so, I was getting used to seeing a lightening in the sky to east when Ieft for work at 0530 ish. It made the ass-crack of dawn a little less ass-ish.

Today? Pitch dark.

Fuck you, daylight savings. No one likes you, and it's time to leave.
