Bobservations

Carlos has been under the weather this week and naturally blames me because two weeks ago I had a wicked cough that I gave to him, which then lay dormant in his chest for two weeks only to appear now.

So, as we do at Casa Bob y Carlos, the sickie sleeps in the guest room so they can get a good night’s sleep and not infect the non-sickie. Carlos has been in Guest Room Confinement since Monday and seemed to be feeling better, but this morning his cough was back and phlegm-y and gross. In the kitchen I said to him:

“You sound worse.”

“Well, then I guess I’d better keep practicing.”

That was a pretty good joke, but I’ll keep that to myself since everyone knows I’m the funny one.

This Tuxedo Memory is from August 2011 after I finished painting the living room and was putting the room back together:

“Finally getting some of the art back on the walls.

The photo above the desk is of a window shade and windowsill covered in broken glass that I found at a winery in Amador County, California. The desk is Carlos', from eons past, while the Bible is mine—yes, mine—and is an old family Bible. The statue on the right is called Twisted Kitty and is made of wrought iron. I found her in a furniture store in the Mission District of San Francisco.

This is one of the many pieces of Asian-inspired art we have in the house; there's something about these things that Carlos and I both love. It sits high on the wall in the sunroom, and you can only see it when you enter the room.

My mother used to do something called Tole painting, which is a type of folk art. She learned to do this from her sister, and my mom spent years painting anything and everything. This is one of the few wall-art pieces of hers that I have and it sits in the kitchen where I can see it, and smile, every day.

And, of course, this is an example of living art. The most beautiful cat in the world, Tuxedo.”

I will never get over his expressive face.

So, people have been mocking Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’ cowboy boots, trying to see if he’s wearing height-boosting insoles lifts to look taller than the 6’3” primary frontrunner who has a penchant for nicknames and is reportedly considered calling DeSantis “Tiny D.”

This is politics in America where it’s not what you promise but whether or not you’re a tiny little man trying to look bigger.

Ps My favorite joke is that the guy who hates drag is walking around in three-inch heels.

Well, unlike Beyoncé  who never met a check she didn’t want to cash, Rod Stewart has snubbed a mega money offer to perform in Saudi Arabia because of the country’s oppression of “women, the LGBTQ community [and] the press” in the kingdom.

Perhaps he should school Mrs. Carter.

In more SCOTUS Scams featuring Clarence Thomas, it seems he borrowed $267,230 from a wealthy “friend” to buy a 40-foot luxury motor coach and was to make annual interest-only payments for five years after which the principal come due. But it seems Thomas has failed to repay any, or all, of the quarter-million-dollar principal.

Someone needs to investigate the con-artists in black robes on the nation’s highest court, and then remove them from their positions.

I am so over the hate in this country … I mean, it’s America and we are killing Americans because they’re Jewish or Muslim.

It’s sickening and makes me want to move anywhere else in the world and change my nationality.

As I said up top, Carlos is not feeling well and has slipped into delirium. As we watched TV he turned to me and said:

“Did I ever tell you about the time I bought a black shirt?”

I am having him committed this morning.

This is 30-year-old actor, model, and former football player for the University of Tennessee Justus Pickett, but this has nothing to do with that … instead, Would You Hit It?
