  • When I grow up…

    When you’re a child, adults tend to ask stupid questions.   The most notable is “What do you want to be when you grow up?” This is really a toxic question. The child doesn’t know what she wants to be.   There’s a world of possibilities.  The child knows practically nothing of what the future holds, her… Read more

  • August 30

    I’m kind of unusually pleased with myself today. I did half an hour on the stair stepper at the gym. While I was at Gencon, I found it really alarming that I could walk ten miles, but half a flight of stairs left me breathless.  I was putting off working on those muscle groups because… Read more

  • Reflection

    Yeah, I know I didn’t post anything yesterday. I had it in my mind to do so, but I wrote another letter to the editor to the local paper. (In short – dead end street.   Train gets stuck.  Everyone can die.   See previous posts.) My first editorial letter was in June.  Last weekend,  my sister… Read more

  • How my day went (8/26)

    It’s kind of odd feeling that the day is pretty much done at 3pm. Technically, if we’re going with that mind frame, the day was over around 1pm when I came in and took a brief nap. It’s starting to feel like I’m skipping over the nights.    It’s probably been a week of nights where… Read more

  • How my day went (8/25)

    Last night wasn’t any different than the night before. I was awake about every two to two and a half hours.  I roamed the house sans glasses but with Croc sandals. I ate right around 6am. –   One Light and Fit Strawberry Cheesecake yogurt and a couple of non-fat Eggo waffles. It’s not exactly the… Read more

  • What I did today (8/24)

    Well, I got up around 6 am after a fairly restless night. I’m not sure why I couldn’t sleep.    I was fairly exhausted when I got out of the shower. The day before was kind of irritable. I hadn’t made some progress on this game despite my brother’s and mine best efforts. My brother has also… Read more

  • Fall of Winter

    It isn’t time yet. Look, I know we’re at the end of August. September is just around the corner.  The kids started school last week. The swimming pools are closing down for the season after Labor Day — in just about a week and a half. But, it’s to early. The trees are losing their… Read more

  • Checking In

    Well, hello. I know I’ve had a prolong absence from posting until a couple of days ago. –  Life was just a little crazy between Jason’s visit and that clingy creepy class. It’s over.   It’s both over.   Jason has safely returned to Florida.  The class ended last Wednesday. Life is starting to return to normal.… Read more

  • +++++++   Possibly spoilers. I won’t know until after I write it.  ++++++++++ Yesterday, my sister wanted to watch a movie. It was a toss up between “The Spy who Dumped Me” and “Crazy Rich Asians.” Ultimately, she decided on “Crazy Rich.”     I was A-OK with that.  It got better Tomato reviews that “Spy.” Also, with the gym… Read more

  • Reflections of Gencon

    Gencon….  the reputed “four best days of gaming.” Okay, I haven’t been to a lot of other fan conventions to really test that slogan, but I still look forward to it every year….  although I would still like to go to Dragon Con, Comic Con, the Anime Expo, E3, PAX, the San Diego con,…  you… Read more
