Back In Business

Hello everyone. It’s been a minute since we talked. It’s actually been one whole week. That’s the longest I’ve gone without posting in a very long time. I’ve been on vacation. Had Thanksgiving and the Friday after off, then took all of the following week off. It was a full week for sure, filled with […]

Thanksgiving Wishes

Oh, hello. Thought I would take a moment in-between roasting a couple turkey breasts and preparing other dishes for some quick baking before everyone shows up around 2pm to say hi. Yes, we’re celebrating Thanksgiving here in the currently arctic Midwest. I took my daughter’s pooch Celeste for a quick walk, and I mean quick. […]

Overcast Brain On A Friday Morning

While glad that it’s Friday, I’m not feeling the same amount of joy and excitement knowing that the weekend starts at 2pm today. My brain has an overcast feel to it; kind of gray, misty, and hazy. As of late I’ve had this lingering sense of melancholy and a touch of anxiety. Worrying about my […]

End Of The Week Shenanigans Or; What, Me Worry?

We made it to Friday. The week has pretty much been dominated here in the states with government shutdowns, government openings, who’s to blame for said shutdowns, and something about emails implicating powerful men(on both sides of the aisle) in child rape. Oh, and a former Fox News host drawing a line between being a […]

Feeling Like Winter

Woke up Sunday morning to snow covering the fallen leaves and pine needles I still need to clean up off the lawn. I knew snow was a possibility, but that possibility turned into reality between Saturday night and Sunday morning. My wife and daughter stayed up pretty late Saturday night, while I fell asleep rewatching […]

Spook Me? Spook You!

Two days from Halloween. Seems like it was only 367 days from the last Halloween, but I guess time does fly when you’re having a stressful year, huh? What was I doing last Halloween? Well, I think we had just gone to the great BEAT Tour in Indianapolis on October 30th, and Halloween had landed […]

Another Day Closer To Dystopia(“Send In The Clowns”)

I’m imagining what a third term with DJT would be like in 2028. I’m imagining how he will still be alive in 2028, given the rantings and ravings I see nearly every day in the news with him. Constant pushing of false narratives…errr, lies(U.N., escalator, teleprompter, stolen election in 2020, they’re eating the cats and […]

Long Weekend, Under The Weather, Sad Dad Blues

Decided at the beginning of last week that I was going to treat myself to a four-day weekend. Work hasn’t been very busy, so it seemed like an opportune time to take a Thursday and Friday off and give my brain a break from the 9 to 5. I’d been itching to dig into some […]

Out With False Fall…In With Real Fall

Friday is here, finally. And with it comes the true beginning of fall weather. We’ve had a few days here and there of mild temps -including upper 50s and low 60s for highs- but those temps were short-lived. We’d head back up into the upper 70s and 80s with all the humidity you could ever […]

Ann Arbor…Live Music…Long Way Home

Nothing better than a three-day weekend. Well, except a 4-day weekend but I’m not getting stingy here. A three-day weekend was just what the doctor ordered. What doc? Umm…Doctor Detroit? My wife and I took Friday off and headed up north three hours to the great Michigan college town known as Ann Arbor, or “the […]
