I bought a scanner yesterday to consolidate some of my paper archive from the past after a fun trip to the new arcade in Johnston. I started getting into the writing I had done for my college newspaper OH so many years ago. I was a rabble-rouser, or, as Jenn accurately referred to it, a… Continue reading March 13, 2023

I’ve started my “ease forward” time change plan in anticipation of Daylight Saving Time this year. You might consider giving it a try, it’s worked for me in the past. As everyone knows, DST in the spring is like hitting a brick wall, and I (if I remember) try to avoid that by phasing in… Continue reading March 9, 2023

I have mashed potatoes for lunch, but I don’t know what to eat with them. Glad I have these kinds of problems to worry about and not others. 🙂 This week has started off routine and continues to be into the near future as far as I can tell. Sometimes I get existential angst when… Continue reading March 7, 2023

Monday, Monday – it’s more than a song lyric. I’m listening to Khruangbin to get myself moving a bit. I took two Benadryl last night, I blame that for my sluggishness this morning. That, and, back to the routine after a nice birthday weekend celebration for my wife. We lived it up pretty good on… Continue reading March 6, 2023

Today is my wife’s birthday! I got her a cat puzzle, and we’re doing a painting event tomorrow night after a birthday dinner at a small plate restaurant. I hope she likes it! Not much else going on at the moment, but I’m getting things done and that feels nice. I’m also scheduling time with… Continue reading March 3, 2023

Feeling pretty good heading into March this year. And finally I feel like the green theme of my website is appropriate. Of course, if you’re reading this in 2032, you might not know what the hell I’m talking about. I feel bad for having let House of Boyd languish for so long – I got… Continue reading March 2, 2023

The shortest month is almost done, and I love the beginning of March, because no matter what the weather is doing, you know spring is coming. I know, I’ve been pining for a while now. Got people to reply to and things to do, so why do I feel like I don’t have much going… Continue reading February 28, 2023

Any Animal Crossing fans out there? I opened up my game yesterday and discovered that, suddenly, spring had arrived and all the snow was gone. It was perfect, because I happened to be wearing shorts and sunglasses (in the game), and it was like, here we are! Maybe that’s happening in the real world, too.… Continue reading February 27, 2023

Got to sleep in this morning, have another dentist appointment (just a checkup!) at 11 a.m. Again I got lucky and have slept in on a very cold morning. Success! I started a new video game recently that I’m enjoying a lot, called “Oxenfree”. It’s new to me, it came out in 2016. I have… Continue reading February 24, 2023

Last night I watched videos on the NYC subway system to prepare myself for getting around on my vacation in May. I’ve been to Chicago several times to this point, almost to the point of feeling like an advanced traveler; yet I still feel intimidated by New York. But I will be prepared! Actually, preparing… Continue reading February 22, 2023
