Welcome back to Voodoo’s basement Lair. Beer’s in the cooler, dartboard’s right where we left it if you feel the need to throw something, and maybe you might. The top-shelf stuff is in the decanters.

Welcome back to the Scuttlebutt. I want to get through some of the things sitting in my “Grist for the mill” file so that I can move on. Today is dedicated to that. BTW, if you’re reading this version, you’re on Burn the Boats press. Sadly, that’s closing down at the end of the month ...

Welcome back to the Scuttlebutt. You know where the hootch is stored, and please notice the cup in front, at https://ko-fi.com/williamlehman where I am collecting money to restock that sucker.

Welcome back to the scuttlebutt. Last week I was so bogged down with my day gig, that I didn’t have the brainpower left to do a new article, so I ran one that had been setting in the que. Little did I realize what the weekend would bring. So, we’re going to talk about that ...

The other morning at Starbucks started out like any other day. A bazillion and one frappucinos had been made, we had killed the store record for fastest wait times in drive thru and I was finally going on my break.
