Week of Nov. 10, 2025

Here’s a rundown of my week.

Chad Powers

Just finished Chad Powers on Hulu. This short series stars Glen Powell and the very tall, model turned actress Perry Mattfeld (pictured above). In the show, Glen wears prosthetics to turn himself into the very unattractive Chad Powers. Perry does not wear anything to make her look unattractive. That’s a good thing.

The show is pretty funny and does have a few moments of dark humor that had me laughing out loud. I didn’t like the commercials that aired during the series. The ads for HIMS just reminded me that I’ll get old and – possibly – lose my hair and or develop intimacy issues someday. Let’s hope not. The ads for Saatva showed really nice mattresses that I can’t afford. Actually, I probably could afford one but spending $4 K on a mattress seems a tad excessive. I’m guessing Glen and Perry can afford nice mattresses. Good for them.

Overall, I give Chad Powers an A-. Check it out.

November 14

Today is both my mother and grandmother’s birthday. Or would have been. They’re both dead now. They were hell on wheels when they were alive as they both were bipolar in a time before medication. This meant that my youth was one hell of a ride. My mother and grandmother didn’t get along and argued constantly. I remember once my grandmother telling my mom that everyone on earth would have been better off if my mom had gone to live in a cave somewhere. I thought this was about the funniest thing I’d ever heard. When my grandmother died my mom said she put her in purgatory and refused to let her out until a decade later. Whether my mom really thought she had the power to put someone in purgatory is beyond me, but she sure seemed to believe it. I did not, however, put my mom in purgatory when she passed as I for sure have no such powers. Happy Birthday to you Susan Ferrell Wilson Young and Turner Lea Hendron Wilson.

Thanks for the comment on my post, Mike!

Random Book Quote

“You’ve got a cat. Have you ever heard that dental floss is bad for cats?”

“Cats can't use dental floss,” Shelly explains in all seriousness. “They don't have thumbs. They can’t hold the stuff.”

---- Tiger Tales from the Acuña Cartel by Gayne C. Young.

Good to know.

Thanks for reading Jolane Maddox!

I have no idea who Stuart is but love that he’s reading my work!

What the hell did I just scroll through?

Glad you asked.

A lot of people who read my work aren’t on social media, so I thought why not post some of that stupidity on my webpage for all to read. In addition to these, I also plan on adding a few random musings, thoughts, and observations. Hope you like ‘em.

Drop me an email to tell me what you think. I love hearing from people who read my work and I answer every email I get. You can do that by clicking that little image of an envelope below.
