Sweetie and I were relaxing this morning, enjoying a cup of coffee (or, tea for her).

She looked up from the news feed on her phone and said "According to this article, people your age will forget four things that they are doing, on a daily basis."

"SLACKERS!" I replied. "I can forget that much before breakfast!"

(And I know I'm not alone with that.)

Hello everyone! Well, here we are in Middle of March 2026 and boy, things are, for lack of a better term "A Shit Show." I'm happy to report that my health has improved greatly. I think that retirement has helped. Anyway, I'm still telling silly jokes and stories to everyone willing to listen (or can't escape when I get started) and Sweetie has stated; "For the love of God and sanity, start another 'report' if you MUST share this stuff!" So, here we go again with "The Privy Report 2" for you to (hopefully) enjoy. Feedback is welcomed.

For decades, we found ourselves amused and entertained by the wit and humor of Scott Adams, the creator of the comic Dilbert. I know that I'm not alone, thinking about the many times I read (and laughed at) one of his observations on corporate office life. Navigating the obstacles found, trying to complete the job and not have it derailed by clueless management or someone else who "has a better idea" that has about as much chance as a bowling ball sprouting wings and flying.

As many of you know, Scott passed away due to cancer. He will be missed. At one of the offices I worked at, we had a "Dilbert Wall" where we could post a printed clipping that was especially amusing and subtly poked fun not only at corporate culture, but some of the things that the actual company said and did.

"Logic be damned! We've always done it this way!"

Godspeed, Sir. We will miss you.

Well, the calls have been made to Oz, the UK and numerous locations across the US. Sweetie and I would like to wish all of you the following, for 2026. Peace, Love, Safety, Happiness.... Blah-blah-blah.

Realistically? We wish you GREAT SEX (and lots of orgasms), BOOZE, and hope you win the LOTTERY.

Enjoy.

Greetings, SOL readers! The Holiday Season is fast approaching and to my surprise, a number of people asked me if there might be a third "Christmas Dinner for Prissy" story.

Sadly, my little girl crossed the Rainbow Bridge a few years ago, and she is not here to sit in my lap and whisper to me any ideas she might have about a new story. I admit that I miss her, dreadfully.

But please remember that in spite of the times we live in, we can still gather with loved ones for the holiday season and make wonderful memories.

Sweetie thinks that "American Turkey Day" is amusing and has shared her thoughts on the topic, with her family in the UK and Australia. Good thing that we have international calling on her phone plan.

Anyway, please have a great holiday season and make sure you spend time with the important people in your life.
