The Family Reunion Of My Dreams Is Not The Family Reunion Of My Dreams!

I had a dream that I thought I should write down because it was short, to the point, and simultaneously funny and disturbing. In the dream, we walked into a family gathering, the first one we were able to have in a while. We were all so happy to see each other, and there were …

All My University Memories Are Belong To History

I know I say this all the time, but I feel so old! Here’s the latest example. The All Your Base meme turned 20! Yup, it sure did! I remember living in the university residence, and all I kept hearing blasting from room to room was this! The first few times, I was drawn out …

It’s Official. I Have A Messed Up Head

It seems my brain has been kind of warped by this pandemic. I will hear things spoken, and before I can realize what they’re about, I’ll have a knee-jerk reaction that’s totally wrong. Exhibit A: I heard a commercial that started with the words “Restart live shows.” Out of my mouth spewed the words “Are …

A Very Sweet Valentine’s Day

We don’t often make a big deal out of Valentine’s Day. Usually it involves looking at our restaurant gift card stash and picking a place where we want to go for dinner, having a great meal and only having to pay for tips because the rest is on the gift cards. But because restaurants are …

Keeping Track Of Packages Sent Across The Border

Stuff about COVID Vaccines, And A Song Too!

I heard this song, and thought it was awesome and would give me an excuse to put up another link that I’ve wanted to post anyway. So we kinda sorta have COVID vaccines if we can keep the supply going. But there are a bunch of folks who are worried about how they came out …

New Regulations When You Fly With Your Service Dog

I just got this email a few days ago from Guide Dogs for the Blind about some new regulations to do with flying with your guide dog, whenever flying is a safe thing to consider doing again. It sounds like they’ve done most of this the right way. It could use a couple of tweaks, …

Shoo Away, 2020, Shoo Away!

I have to explain where the title came from. On one of the last days before the world ground to a halt in March, we babysat the Seppa-Tebby-Tebby nephew for a few hours. Much fun was had by all, being ponies and slops, that’s sloths, playing with toys and other random objects, eating cookies and …
