A congenital loser trapped in a dead-end profession, deriving no personal satisfaction, yet self-aware enough to recognize the absurdity of his situation. Also on Instagram and Facebook.

First, I get a virus that waylays plans for a Fourth of July gathering. Then that becomes an ear infection over the weekend, now on antibiotics and ear drops. Now add pink eye. When it rains, it pours (from my watering eye).

Helped rescue the sweetest dog around noon yesterday at Hull & E. 26th in #DSM. Dropped him off at ARL on SE 14th. Collared, no tags, trailing a blue leash. Maybe fireworks spooked him on a walk. Full of love, separation anxiety, needed a bath.

In the wee hours of June 28, 1969 -- 55 years ago Friday -- police raided a gay bar in Manhattan. Friends of the bar gathered to watch. And then to jeer. And then to riot. That incident led to the birth of today's Gay Pride movement. My Further Review in today's Spokesman-Review.

Doing body shots off a dancer named Brandy is quite a predilection, but I wouldn't say many men do it so specifically. I once fancied a barkeep at the Gold Spike who would spit Jameson into my mouth for tips, but her name was Sally.

Both a back and calf injury have been messing with my sleep. If I can get some Zzzs in bed, I wake up with excuciating back and shoulder pain. And the calf injury makes getting out of the recliner a painful possibility.
