Lee Duigon

I swear I’ve got a mental block

leeduigon(patty)June 5, 2026

When I first took up the blog, I was determined to keep up the format that Lee had in place. Monday through Thursday, varied topics. The only subjects that were scheduled were: Joe Collidge on Friday, Byron the Quokka on Saturday, and Oy Rodney on Sunday. Pretty simple, right? Well it hasn’t turned out that way. For some reason, Friday will roll around, and it will be getting later in the day, and I’ll suddenly realize–oh, crap! I never posted Joe Collidge. Maybe the problem is just that one day is so much like another around here, it can just slip past me.

It almost happened today–but I remembered.

It is sometimes very hard to learn a new habit.

Aside from that there is another issue that I have to address. It is almost three months since Lee’s sensei picked up his sword. I have put in two calls to him, just to find out if he had any buyers. I am going to wait until the 19th (it will then be three months) and call him again. If he would just at least return my calls, I would be a bit more at ease.

Nobody ever said life was easy.

Have a good night, all.

See you tomorrow.

God bless everybody.

This is a very interesting cat. There are so many varieties of cat–they seem to be extremely adaptable.

Rudy the bulldog is just amazing. I may have posted this before, but it is certainly worth watching. He is incredible. You don’t expect this from a bulldog

My Favorite Typos REPRINT

From January 26, 2014

The invention of the keyboard was a boon to communication. It was also a boon to miscommunication.

I was reminded of this last night in a chat room, when someone typed in a little family anecdote involving his moth-in-law. Did this mean he had unusually intimate relationships with insects? In-laws are acquired by marriage. Who do you have to marry to acquire a moth-in-law? But of course he meant “mother-in-law,” and his fingers garbled the message.

Recently I was trying to find out how to buy a bearded lizard online. I’ve always loved reptile pets, and these little guys have become very popular. The “beard” is a threat display that pet lizards very rarely use.

For some reason, my fingers kept typing in “beaded lizard.” This is a very serious mistake. The Mexican beaded lizard is closely related to the Gila monster, only it’s a little bigger and a little more poisonous. What a difference a simple letter “r” makes.

Then there are “the Untied States of America”–a cryptic comment on our country’s future?–and flyers for “marital arts” schools in the neighborhood, and that ever-popular song that says, “These are a few of my favorite thighs.” And I’ve always been fond of “priates” and “Indains,” and “ture or flase” questions, and “simularity,” whatever that means.

The things we type should keep us humble.

Thus went Thursday

leeduigon(patty)June 4, 2026

First, let me say I can’t believe it’s Thursday already. It seems the days, weeks, and months are really flying by.

We’re also in June, as well. The half-point of the year.

Just can’t believe it.

I know time flies faster as you get older, because a specific time period represents a much shorter piece of your life. Yeah, yeah, but it still seems to race by.

No major news from here today.

I did speak to Lee’s former editor at Chalcedon. Susan is a great person and I wish she lived closer. That’s another thing wrong with modern life. Everybody is so far away.

Visiting is out, for me. I drive, but only locally. There is not enough money in the universe to tempt me onto an interstate highway. Thanks, but no thanks.

Another sunny and warm day–we can always use those.

That’s it for today.

Have a good night, all.

See you tomorrow.

God bless everybody.
