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

Something: Thoughts on Uvalde
This might be politics, it might be life events, it will contain some memories. I didn't post anything on any kind of social media for days about this because it was painful. 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
Life: Toddler Exhaustion
I used to think (before I became a parent) that being a parent was exhausting because your kid couldn't sleep through the night and if you could just get a full night's sleep without "get up and feed" or "deal with nightmares" or "sick kid" (the constant "sick kid" syndrome). I have learned, this is… Continue reading Life: Toddler Exhaustion
Life Events: Home Improvements
This is a busy month! It's my 5th anniversary, my son's 2nd birthday, I've gotten my 2nd Covid vaccine shot, and my work project is finishing (hitting serious deadlines headlong!). Oh and we're ripping the pool out of our backyard. Yup. When we bought our house, we bought a house with a pool. We knew… Continue reading Life Events: Home Improvements
Memories: Police Encounters
I saw this come up in my suggested YouTube and watched it. If you are white, watch it. Because I know if you are black, you already know. https://youtu.be/6snWQJ4_8dg I recommend watching it to you - it's only five minutes and I think it's a good conversation about the difference white and black people have… Continue reading Memories: Police Encounters
