Chill in the air

Today truly feels like the arrival of “real” fall, as opposed to the previous “fake” fall days that we’ve been dealing with on and off since September. You know, those days that are like a glimpse behind the curtain to what fall has in store for us. But then the next day it’s 85 degrees […]

Dream House

I often dream of houses. I dream about my parents house, where I grew up, most of the time. Rarely do I dream about the house my wife and I built 30 years ago and where we raised three kids, 3 dogs, and a lifetime of memories. My dreams typically drop me off at my […]

Boards of Canada season is officially here. Rejoice.

Despite the fact that the great Scottish band Boards of Canada are perfect for year-round listening experiences, fall feels like the “official” Boards of Canada season. There’s something about their downtempo, low key, slightly psychedelic and slightly haunted sound that is perfect for overcast days. Slight chill in the air, a brisk wind that picks […]

Sick in the head…and arms, legs, back, shoulders, etc….

I love fall. I don’t love cold and flu season. They seem to walk hand in hand like the ying and yang of life. I wish we could move cold and flu season to, say, just a two week span in March then it goes away. Unfortunately I don’t have a say in when viruses […]

Tron, NIN, and nostalgia for a simpler time.

I have no feelings either way about Tron. I wasn’t blown away as a kid when I saw the movie(I didn’t actually see it till I was well into teen-dom). And when the 2011 sequel reared it’s retro-futuristic head my reaction was, “Mmm. Cool.” And so when the third film in this series of sci-fi […]

Old wounds die hard. Last call.

Nothing like an old injury creeping back up and reminding you that yes, you are indeed mortal. I’ve had lower back problems for the better part of 30 years. Thank NOT lifting with your knees, lifting things you shouldn’t lift, and working on cement floors for most of your adult life. In 2016 it all […]

Go Forth. Enjoy your Friday.

Never thought we’d get here. This seemed to be a particularly long week. Despite being busy nearly every day and going home good and wiped out, this week still feels as if it should’ve ended two days ago. This is the second week in a row where my wife told me on Wednesday that it […]

Unreality

Things are getting weirder and weirder out there, folks. It’s getting to the point now where it’s hard to tell on the internet what -or who- is real and what’s some fabrication of some AI machine. I haven’t been on Elon Musk’s Incel website in at least a couple years. I’ve used Threads for a […]

Running out of hard drive space….

I used to be a well of useless information. I’d hold pointless facts about movies, music, books, TV shows, obscure childhood moments, bizarre elementary school dreams, and tossed-off conversations as if my life depended on it. Need to know about the short-lived TV series Automan starring Desi Arnaz, Jr? I’m your guy. What studio did […]

Getting closer to the chill…

I woke up Monday morning to a chill. Sunday was cooler than Saturday, so the AC was shut off and the windows opened. There’s a calming feeling that comes over me when the fall is just around the corner and the windows can be opened. The rustling sound of wind making its way through the […]
