Another couple of weeks down, because I’ve been all kinds of busy, depressed, tired, sore, occasionally celebratory, and outside touching grass. Work is work, of course. I’m kind of just tired of all of it all, going through the motions and doing the thing, but not feeling particularly motivated to give the powers that be […]

Short week and pretty decent long weekend (that provided a welcome distraction from other things) aside, I’m hitting a bit of a wall. I actually started the week with a relatively positive attitude. I was ready to hit this special project I’m working hard and wrap things up so I can get back to my […]

It has been a rough and emotional week. Things happened. Even some good things, but I don’t feel like talking about them. Maybe later. I don’t really want to talk about them, because I’m largely completely occupied by the fact that on Thursday, I had to say goodbye to my friend Phoenix. She was only […]

Another week mostly down. Work was work, headlines were headlines, and the back hurt. Also, My lovely spouse celebrated crossed a major, hard-earned milestone (and I am very, very proud), and I learned that a dear friend from my past is no longer with us, which is seriously a bummer. I spent some time with […]

One more week down, and the work slog continues, in part because Schumer indeed did fold (though it remains to be seen if he’s as capable of 4-D chess as the red hats claim TFG is), and the shutdown was put off, at least until at some point in the summer when the debt ceiling […]

So, last weekend’s Marscon was a reasonably successful endeavor, with us playing a couple of good shows (even if the time slots could’ve been better), the band clicking with a great energy you really want for every show, but know really only hits occasionally. We also had a couple of nice official and unofficial circles, […]

After a couple of five-hundred years’ displaced pop culture references, here’s my “Happy New Year” post. So it’s 2025. The lovely spouse and I stayed up until midnight, barely, chilling with friends (virtually), as another friend did an online New Years’ Eve show via Twitch. We enjoyed ourselves, and that’s really what it was all […]

Honestly, nothing’s changed since I posted yesterday about boxing day. I did exactly the kind of stuff I said I was going to do; played video games for an hour or two. Took a long walk in the park. Went to the grocery store bar and had a pleasant drink with my lovely spouse (for […]

This week’s had quite a few ups and downs. Work was amazingly productive, even if there were a few pretty long days after the long weekend. I’ve gotten some encouraging medical news, and making progress in a couple of different areas, even if the side effects of this new pill I’m on are inconvenient. We […]

Politico had an interesting article up this morning, “Tim Walz and the Birth of the ‘State College Voter’”, about how most Americans with college degrees don’t get them from the big elite universities like those of the Ivy League, but rather from the regional small public universities, like, say, I don’t know, Millersville University (BS […]
