Lost In Translation

Gill is really firing out the posts this week! It’s kind of funny. I’ve been on both sides of this scenario. There’s my old post about people who don’t speak the language but say “yes” anyway. I had a more recent experience with that. I was in Nashville a few years ago for my awesome …

(Updated With Watch Links) Brad Is On Menu Match-Up!

Update: I don’t know whether somebody on AMI’s website team was a hide and seek champion in a previous life or what, but for reasons known only to them, all of the below episode links are broken. This is at least the second time this has happened. The first time I (Steve) was unimpressed, but …

Service Dog-Related Stuff

There are a couple of service dog-related things I wanted to write down. I have been meaning to for a while, but they keep getting lost.

It seems this fellow who just moved to a new apartment discovered that someone in his midst has a hate on for trombones. Sam and a lady friend had been living in Dixon.

Please Don’t Nuke Us, North Korea

I wanted to post this song when all the fire and fury stuff started, but then life got away from me. With North Korea doing more missile tests, Now is as good a time as any. Get your lyrics right here. I’m not dragging them over here, because they actually have links explaining context of …
