Opinion: “Upgrading”
I might have some luddite sympathies. I had a Honda Fit for ten years. I loved that car. I don't love cars in general. THAT car was my special happy car. In 2017, I got rear-ended and was told replacing the bumper was within $200-300 of totaling my car. It was logical we look at… Continue reading Opinion: “Upgrading”
Life events: Air Quality
There isn't going to be a real post today. The air quality has been awful for the past week because of the fires/smoke. Sunday I was in terrible shape and couldn't function. Monday was better. Today is still a little better, but it means I'm missing my Tuesday post. Since I am trying to be… Continue reading Life events: Air Quality
Life: Cooking
I don't love cooking. I don't mind it, but it isn't a passion. It's a necessity. I like food. I enjoy eating things that are tasty. I enjoy trying new foods. Cooking... if I had a replicator from Star Trek, I might not learn to really cook with fresh ingredients. Except maybe bread. Kneading dough… Continue reading Life: Cooking

I am going to begin by saying this: I went to a school with a shooting. I went to Heritage High School, which… Continue reading Something: Thoughts on Uvalde
Life Events: Encyclopedia
I have encyclopedias that need a new home. A home that will love it as much as I do.
Life Events: Covid
My son has tested positive for Covid. He's been in daycare, so it isn't actually out of the blue, but it still feels sudden. I feel entirely unprepared. Fortunately, as reported, his symptoms are mild. He developed a low grade fever (right around 100F) Saturday which only reappears sporadically since then. He has a slight… Continue reading Life Events: Covid
Life Events: 20 years after 9/11
I remember the day of September 11th, 2001 with unusual clarity. I remember where I was and what I did when I heard about the initial attack (my response to my friend was "that's not funny" because I could NOT imagine it being real). I didn't see the towers fall live. It was the only… Continue reading Life Events: 20 years after 9/11
Pets: Aging
Genkii and Kawaii in Oct 2007 I adopted Genkii and Kawaii in fall of 2007. When I adopted them, they were less than a year old, about 7-9 months old. At 14, Genkii is finally less "energy" and turning into an older man. He doesn't get "zoomies" as often. He is "talking" less. More alarming… Continue reading Pets: Aging
