Wow, what a week. It has gone from “gee this virus is moving fast, maybe we should watch stuff” to “CANCEL EVERYTHING NOW!” The transition, although necessary, is a bit jarring. I am really really really happy I didn’t go to Anaheim. If I had, I’d be being asked to self-isolate now. All the shifting …

Let’s Get Ready To Rumble…If You Can
Many times I say I’m a weirdo. Now I know it for sure. I’m one of a small number of people who can make their ears rumble voluntarily! I can hear it now. “You can what?” Seriously. Ever since I was a kid I noticed that my ears made rumbling noises. I first noticed it …
The Coolest Song About The Brain
Your brain is divided into two hemispheres Your left controls your right side and your right controls your left side And they’re both tied together in a neat little package By the totally awesome Corpus Callosum When you peel away that meninges layer Wipe off that cerebro-spinal fluid And you’re looking right at the four …
Covid-19, You are causing A Scene, At This Moment, You Wrecked Everything…
This stupid Coronavirus is ruining all the things. I’m supposed to be getting on a plane to CSUN on Tuesday morning…but am I? Hell nooo! It’s not because I’m afraid of the virus per se. I’m afraid of getting stuck somewhere for an unplanned extended stay because of the virus. I have several prescriptions that, …

So Long, Grandma Pye.
I have a long-standing dread of January. The month isn’t always miserable, but for the last 18 Januaries, more often than not, it has not been kind to me. Unfortunately, this last one has landed firmly in the not kind pile. My last grandparent, Grandma Pye, passed away. She was 96. When we were little, …
I Did An Ignite Talk And Didn’t Blow Up!
I meant to write about this back in November, but November and December sort of got devoured, so maybe I can do it justice now. Every November, our company does a little internal conference where people do talks and workshops and stuff for other people to learn from. When it came time to make presentation …
What Matters Most, What Makes Us Whole, Is Knowing Who Is Annoying The Hell Out Of Us This Christmas
This friggin commercial drove me batty this Christmas season. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4TXa8gnzc6w and not for the reason you’re probably thinking, that it ran six jillion times an hour, especially on certain channels. No, it’s for these three reasons. First, I had no idea what it was for. This happens more times these days than I’d like. I’d …
Merry Christmas
So um, it’s Christmas Eve. I have to keep reminding myself that yes, in fact, Christmas is here. With everything else going on, I just sort of tumbled haplessly into Christmas. So, before it’s too late, I hope everyone is having a happy holiday full of family, friends and fun. Hopefully, soon I’ll be able …
Tansy Lump News
I feel like a bit of a jerk for not giving everyone an update sooner. I got the update two weeks ago about Tansy’s lumps, but haven’t really had a chance to write it all down. So here it goes. It’s all good news! All the lumps came back as benign. The one on her …
Why Is This Dog So lumpy?!
I have to explain the title. The Seppa-Tebby-Tebby nephew has this game that he likes to play where he gets into your chair and squishes himself really small at the back of the seat. Then you’re supposed to sit down on the chair, lean back and say “Why is this chair so lumpy?!” Then you …
