We were listening to music out on the balcony the other night, and some songs came on that made me think of stuff I used to think when I was a kid, and it made me laugh. The first one was Smoky Mountain Rain I hadn’t heard that song in so long that hearing it …

Hey! It’s Maybe Sort of Kind of Not Quite Normal!
It’s been a while since I’ve written one of these how are we doing posts, so here we go. I intended to write a woohoo I’m two weeks past my second COVID vaccination post, but that weekend, I was trying to prepare for a presentation and didn’t have the time to do it. So now …

Do You Need To Be A Mathematician To Go To St. Ives?
I have to ask this. Did anybody else get driven crazy by the St. Ives song when they were kids? Or was it just me? As I was going to St. Ives, I met a man with seven wives, Each wife had seven sacks, Each sack had seven cats, Each cat had seven kits: Kits, …

What’s Up?
This isn’t my usual sort of jam, but I heard it yesterday and it’s been in my head since, so I figure I might as well put it in yours. There are lyrics in the video description. Now that we have gotten to 2021 and it’s basically been more of the same, I hope that …
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 …
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 …
Relax, Dude. You’re Not Going Anywhere
I need to settle down, but I can’t. Even though I know exactly when and where everything is happening this Christmas, I can’t shake the feeling that I need to do a million things and do them quick. Are all the presents organized? When should I pack? How many changes of clothes will I need? …
Delivering A Christmas Post, Because I’m Not UPS
As I sit here the day after Steve’s birthday, I feel a bit bewildered. How did we get here? The year went fast, but it feels especially fast since this year had no great big fun events since March. Wow, I totally suck and never commented on Steve turning 40 last year. I guess to …

It’s Fraud-Noticing Time!
Whenever I think about this, this song pops into my head. So about a week and a half ago, I was busily working away when my phone beeped and a weird text showed up. It said it was from my bank and it said that this was a fraud alert and there was a weird …
I’ll Stay Home For Christmas
This morning I gathered up a big load of Christmas presents, put on my coat and mask and headed downstairs. My mom was waiting for me. We said hello, and then I proceeded to pile my bunch of gifts into her car. When that was done, I stood back as she unloaded several bags of …
