The Year of My Socks, Two-Thousand and Eighteen
I was thinking happy thoughts and having fond remembrances this morning of the Before Times, lo, 10 days ago, when a person in America could saunter up to a bar and grill—hell, even an Applebee’s, if you were pressed for a spot—and order a big sloppy cheeseburger and a cold beer. They were good times, … Continue reading Socks for Social Distancing, Day 7
I promised something more fun for today than yesterday’s argyle, although truth be told, argyle tops the charts for me pretty much every day. Even so, I’m hoping today’s doughnut themed display doesn’t disappoint.
Today, it’s finally argyle. Why argyle, you ask? Argyle don’t need no reason, man. Now, that said, and yes, I firmly believe it, I will concede that I did have something of a reason. They actually managed to make me feel at least somewhat professional, especially given the rest of my “working from homewear” ensemble. … Continue reading Socks for Social Distancing, Day 5
Living with distance...
I thought the Tetris socks were the right call today because at this point we’ve all got limited space to work with, new, hardly recognizable shit is flying towards us at an ever increasing rate, and somehow we’ve got to deal with a boatload of crazy, disorganized, twisty-turned pieces before they smack us in the … Continue reading Socks for Social Distancing, Day 3
My understanding is that people across the country are starting to feel a little stir crazy already from our current exercise in limiting contact with each other. When picking out socks this morning, then...

As it turns out, though, I don’t actually have any pairs with either pandemic symbols or adorable little hazmat suits in a spot pattern. Since I couldn’t find a pair … Continue reading Socks for Social Distancing
The last time I wrote an honest-to-goodness post here, I seem to recall saying something, maybe, about a book I had written, kinda sorta being published, or whatever? I think it had something to do with this... You know what? Forget that nonsense. I was going to try to pretend to be all calm and … Continue reading JR Andrews’ Big Day
Ten long years ago this Sunday, in just the third post of my year-long 2010 personal writing challenge, I sat down at my not-fancy Target-sourced desk and hammered out A Man Alone. I still specifically remember writing that post, believe it or not, on one of those cold, blustery February nights that seemed more common … Continue reading A Story 10 Years In The Making
You might think that’s somehow a weird Election Day image, and I can come up with like a dozen different ways to make that work myself. However, this pic is actually about writing, and it goes along with my Twitter posts from Sunday... https://twitter.com/jasonarust/status/1191185343803985920?s=21 And then, of course, yesterday... https://twitter.com/jasonarust/status/1191574396512722944?s=21 Which is to say, I’m … Continue reading Remember, remember the 5th of November
