For what will be my fifth year running, I’ll be once again participating in February Album Writing Month, a semi-organized exercise in creativity, taking on the challenge of writing 14 songs in 28 days. In past years, I’ve always hit at least fourteen tunes, with usually at least a few winners – last year, I […]
On Wednesday evening, I was driving my lovely spouse and youngest child back from a recreational activity involving frozen water, and my head started throbbing. Started in the sinuses, and progressed from there; lights of oncoming cars appearing extra intense, noise starting to bother me, all that crap. We made it home, I took my […]
For the second time in as many weeks, my region of the country is sliding into the weekend with an allegedly significant weather event. Yesterday was rain and snow that mostly amounted to nothing but what’ll prove to be slick roads today as it’s probably not going to break above freezing all day. Tonight they’re […]
I know these aren’t original, un-altered comic panels, but damn if they aren’t completely on-brand for my favorite Marvel 3rd-stringer hero: Indeed; Moon Knight; one of Marvel’s more interesting takes on a particular archetype, has never been a top-tier hero in comics or otherwise.

As one would expect, the inaugural address […]

Y’know, the usual. […]
this image is what I need, not how I’m feeling For the first week back to the grind after a holiday break that wasn’t particularly awesome, thanks to all kinds of external factors, it was, at best, not ideal, and otherwise, kind of a shit show. Work, frankly, sucked, mostly because a few external entities […]
Unlike my senator and fellow Replacements fan Tim Kaine, the snow here in VA had rather little impact for me.
