Your Self Involvement Is Intruding On My Narcissism

I can’t stand people who only talk about themselves. Why should I be concerned about your life, your kids, your needs, your fears, when I have so many other issues to be annoyed by? It’s a little selfish if you ask me. I don’t want to offend anyone, but seriously,…

An Inside Guy

I’m an inside guy. I like being inside. Everyone wants me to go outside—especially my wife. But almost everything I want to do is inside. Inside is nice. It’s warm in the winter, and cool in the summer. I have wireless, my computer, my books, a nice chair, ice, alcohol.…

You People Are Pissing Me Off

I’m sure that should just be the title of my blog. You People Are Pissing Me Off. Also, the title of my autobiography and the inscription on my tombstone, two things my father likes to point out when faced with an undeniable self-truth: “That should be the title of your…

The Civility Of Single File

I want to talk to you today about civility. That thing that separates us from the birds of the air and the beasts of the field. The ability to live in a society free from mayhem simply because we choose to think about how our actions affect other people. In…

Your writing, and world view, really resonates with me David. Sad to see you leave Medium but look forward to seeing more of your writing here.

Nice to see you here, Peter. Thank you.

Sorry about your Dad

February 19, 2026

So we’ve finally crossed the Rubicon—and just as the days start getting shorter, no less. Sorry to see you abandon the digital colosseum of Medium, though I appreciate the breadcrumb trail to your own corner of the internet, where the chronicles of DTM apparently continue their descent into the abyss. I’m still haunting Medium under the old MOXY banner—never for profit, of course, merely as a cheaper, less legally problematic alternative to slitting throats. Miss the beard:)

Stylish yet clean and uncluttered.

Works well on Waterfox/Android, search for pizza was rewarding. The world needs more personal style online.
