Don't live the American dream. Live your dream.

  • Meet Nuisance

    Jason and I kind of have a history with Nuisance. We returned home one night and saw a crying shadow in mom’s animal trap.  I was a bit surprised.  We knew it was out there, but it played with the trap and mom’s nerves.   It would play on top of the trap.   It would play… Read more

    Sixth day in a row….  Yay! See, this is the kind of life I’d like.   I spend part of the day exercising or doing whatever.    The other part is writing about stuff and faffing around.    In this case, watching a couple of episodes of Zero Punctuation.   Especially the writing part.    If I… Read more

  • Rambling – Jeffrey Epstein

    When I first heard of Mr. Epstein’s death, I didn’t believe it. If he was truly well connected to Gates, Clintons, Musk, and various foreign royalty, there is no way someone would kill him. The guy just knows too much. But, beyond that, he could possibly represent a wealth of information that would be exceedingly… Read more

  • Reflection of Gencon – 2019

    *** I’ve been trying to write this for a couple of weeks now. It’s a bit dated, but please bear with me. Okay. Short version. Gencon – A place where people like to play (games) with other people in a generally non-sexual fashion.  Some people like to pay tribute to particular games, television shows, or… Read more

  • 8/13

    My brother and I where innocently wasting time downtown. We were chasing the new spawns from Wizard Unite and working on our tasks.   We weren’t bothering anyone and just chatting amongst ourselves while looking for memos and monster books. We passed a corner that’s by Laurel’s when this pretty girl approached my baby brother.  She… Read more

  • 8/12

    This is odd. It’s the last day of the term. My four students have submitted their final project and I’ve graded it.  Sure, there’s a couple of past-due assignments, but nothing major.  My inbox isn’t overflowing with sob stories or extension requests. I almost don’t know what to do.  It’s like the students actually have… Read more

  • 8/11

    There’s a lot of stuff I’ve wanted to write about. A lot of things have happened, but I just haven’t had a chance to breathe for the past couple of weeks. First, it was Gencon with the little sis for four or five days.   Then it was the little brother for four days.  Jason was… Read more

  • 7/26

    Have you ever had one of those days… weeks… where you’re trying to project a feeling to the significant other.     That person doesn’t acknowledge it, just doesn’t get it, or chooses to ignore it. This is more than “Hey idiot, do the dishes.” Rather, it’s like a mutual and soulful agreement that really… Read more

  • 7/25

    Well, I’m all packed.    Yeah, it’s a little early, but I don’t know what’s going to happen tomorrow.   I don’t know what’s going to happen tonight.  So, I stuffed a bunch of stuff in the suitcases. It didn’t take long.   In a way, I really never fully unpacked.  Besides, the only thing I take… Read more

  • Niantic Trifecta – Ingress, Po Go, Wizards

    I think Google/Niantic owes me a lot of money.   =) I played Ingress from beta. It was a pretty significant part of my life for a while.  Jason and I went to meetings, anomalies, met with other players, and even some of the player characters.     I don’t know if I’d say it… Read more
