Sleep Talkin’ 4. Soon, Like Me, This Bit May Snore

I think it’s time to immortalize the last few months of sleep chatter because this may be the last sleep chatter we can catch! I’m going to write a whole post about this, but on Monday, I will finally be getting my CPAP machine. This will mean two things: better sleep, which might result in …

Since You’re Going To Try To Market Remembrance Day…

I can’t be the only one who finds it a little bit creepy and distasteful when I open my email on a day like Remembrance Day to find businesses marketing whatever it is they sell alongside lest we forget messages. I’m not the easily offended type, but I find it gross. Do what you want …

I Shall Be Leaving Now, Because I Am Brave And Strong

Talking to Carin about her All About Soul thing reminded me of another one of my own little kid song misinterpretations. I think the saying in general may have been the bigger problem, but the song definitely played into it since it was everywhere for a while when I was five or six and that’s …

All About Soul-Searching

Steve and I were talking the other day…maybe some news story came on about how many couples didn’t make it in the pandemic or something, and I got thinking about a song I haven’t thought about in years. “All About Soul” by Billy Joel. and suddenly, a memory came rushing back to me. I’m sitting …

Another Night In The Lab

So remember that post about going to the sleep lab? Well, I finally got some follow-up. I don’t know what happened right after my sleep study…let’s just blame Omicron for screwing up scheduling, but I didn’t hear from them at all. Finally, in March, I reached out and asked if I had missed a memo …

Some Friendly Advice From Renowned Travel Expert…Me!

Unless someone important has died far away and left you with no choice, perhaps before you go on the news to bellyache about how long your passport application is taking to process thanks to the gigantic pandemic backlog and how you might have to cancel your trip because of it, consider not booking a trip …

My First In-Person Conference Since COVID: Thoughts And Observations

Like I said, I went to my first in-person conference, and the experience was pretty nice. It was awesome to enjoy things like food and mingling with other attendees. I wasn’t sure what I was supposed to do about masks, so I usually kept it on unless I absolutely had to take it off, like …
