This weird-ass Covid summer is simultaneously dragging ass and flying by. I couldn’t believe that the last post I wrote was back in May. So much has happened since then that it seems almost a lifetime ago. Granted, 2020 seems to have created a bizarre warp in the fabric of spacetime, but still!

Even though it was sad to realize that after fifteen years… Read more »

These are very strange times we’re living in. The Covid-19 virus is burning through the globe, prompting governments to declare that their citizens must self-quarantine, shelter in place, or otherwise restrict their movements to prevent the spread of the contagion. I have been working from home for over a year now. Open plan offices are not conducive for me to… Read more »

2020 – The Year of the Great Social Upheaval

This year is not turning out the way any of us wanted. The Covid-19 pandemic has turned the world upside down. There is the very human loss of life, which is agonizing for the families and friends of the thousands who died.

I Hope the Rainbow Bridge Exists

The past couple of weeks have been pretty stressful and sad. After I returned from Miami, the kitty sitter said that my kitty was missing her litter box. That is completely out of character for her.

After two stops on my 2019 midlife crisis tour – Atlanta and Orlando – it was time to head to the final stop in Miami. Monday around 1pm, after some work calls, I was in the Caddy heading south.

After my night living like a rock star, I was severely sleep-deprived when I made my way to the Atlanta airport. I was hoping to sleep on the flight to Fort Lauderdale but there was a young boy in the seat in front of me who spent the entire flight asking his mom questions every 20 seconds. I applauded his… Read more »

OK y’all, with a title like that you know what time it is… time for my random thoughts while following Adam Ant around on tour. As usual, if you’re only here for the cancer stuff, you’re going to have to wait a few posts before my mundane life reasserts itself and I’m not traipsing around the country behaving like a… Read more »
