Candy is dandy

One of my routines within a routine is to hand out chocolate to the kids I encounter during my Saturday morning walk.

Get it while it lasts!
Sweets for the sweet!

Anyway, the kids look forward to my passing by on Saturday. It’s the little things in life, right?

Later on during the walk (long after the chocolate was gone), I was a fair piece upstream on the shitty creek I posted about yesterday. And I encountered this boy fishing:

He was shy about getting his picture taken, but I took a lousy one anyway. Afterward, he asked me for money. I told him no. I’m the candy man, not the money man.

In other news, Facebook reminded me that I was at one time actually pretty good at darts.

A 15 dart out, my best game of 501 ever! That was 10 years ago today. I’ll try and replicate it tonight. Truthfully, I’d be happy to be half that good.

The folks who brew Corona beer have maintained their sense of humor during the virus outbreak (assuming this is real):

You gotta laugh when that happens, right?

Like the time I woke up next to some ugly bitch I met at the bar. I had a godawful taste in my mouth. Got up to wash my face, looked in the mirror and saw a string dangling down between my front teeth. I groaned and said, “please God, let it be a teabag!”.

Yeah, yeah. I won’t quit my day job. Oh wait, I don’t have one.

Thanks for reading!


Champagne don’t drive me crazy
Cocaine don’t make me lazy
Ain’t nobody’s business but my own
Candy is dandy and liquor is quicker
You can drink all the liquor down in Costa Rica
Ain’t nobody’s business but my own

  1. Irresponsible to the point of cliched. Those kids brushing their teeth twice a day? You just got your first coronavirus case in the Phips. Should be handing out face masks buddy…

  2. Not sure about the status of the kids’ dental hygiene. Honestly, my only worry has been to inadvertently give a kid with a peanut allergy a Snickers bar…
