Who Am I? But really?
I saw a post in a Facebook group for my High School alumni which showed this map of German beers from each state. This led me down the rabbit hole of investigating the German states a little more, since I…

I got into a little back-and-forth with somebody on Facebook. I know, I know … never engage anybody about anything on Facebook. It’s like screaming at a wall. At any rate, this person posted some flippant comment about how it…
I’m so fricking impressed with the Ukrainian people. I feel for the Russians who don’t agree with their government’s actions but aren’t allowed to protest or speak out. I’m also impressed with those Russians who have risked imprisonment to protest…
Hey! Welcome back. I know it’s been a while. I’ve been pretty busy. How about you? The wife and I took a train up to New York on Nov 20th to celebrate our 25th anniversary. Lots of walking, shopping, eating,…
I took an “intelligent risk-taking” course through work. One of the topics discussed was the “availability bias” when trying to determine risk of something we don’t know. The way our brains work, we try to recall examples of that thing…
America. “Give [us] your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free…” Written on the Statue of Liberty. I *idea* of America is that it’s a land of opportunity. Anybody from anywhere in the world can come here…
Diving down the YouTube rabbit hole today popped up this classic. Jon Stewart goes on a rant about NY pizza
Writing down the things that come to my head while trying to stay safe during COVID-19 lockdown. I started a diary post for week 27 but never got around to finishing and publishing it; so some of those thoughts are…
Putting my random, rabid thoughts down on “paper” for the world to see while we all have this shared pandemic experience. One of my pet peeves is pickup trucks that back into the parking spot and hang over half the…
Writing down things I think about while trying to socially isolate during this freaking pandemic. So yeah, this pandemic is still happening. Still. I honestly don’t know if the mask thing is still a “debate” or not. I’ve severely limited…
Blurbs from my mind while coping with novel coronavirus and written down in one spot. I saw a post that really resonated with me on Facebook from a friend of mine from High School. His original post was a meme/graphic…
Pulling stuff out of my head while and trying to keep things as “normal” as possible in the year 2020. I’m still on the fence about whether 2020 is actually an insane year, or it just seems like an insane…
Thinking thoughts and posting whatever comes to mind during my self-isolation. We’re in this together (well, those of us actually doing this). I missed a week. Sue me. My contract ended last week, so it was several weeks of “hair…
Keeping an archive of my thoughts, rants, questions, and other drivel from my mind during the COVID-19 crisis. It’s been a rough week. Current job is winding down, and the transition tasks are ramping up as the contract comes to…
This is just a place where I keep my thoughts, ideas, rants, raves, etc. while trying to do my part to flatten the curve … still … almost five months later. **heavy sigh** Settle in kids while I tell you…
My sporadic, periodic, and traumatic pieces of brain bytes that I’ve managed to scrabble down somewhere for science to dissect after I’m long gone. SCIENCE! Yeah yeah yeah, I skipped a week. So sue me. I was busy NOT paying…
If you don’t know what I’m doing here or why I’m doing this by now … where have you been? Seriously though, it’s just shit I’ve thought about this week while going through this whole pandemic thing. A three-day work…
Bits of chaff and other leftover stuff that drips out my ears after my brain has finished chewing on it for a while. I didn’t have a lot of time last week to “think”. I took a few days off…
Posting stuff I think about or that happens to me every week of this pandemic. Lucky you, you stumbled across this post and will never regret it. I was raised an Air Force brat and went to a lot of…
Stream of consciousness stuff from my brain-pod as we learn to navigate this new, topsy-turvy world. Less time on social media has been so nice this week. I check maybe once per day the Facebooks for any notifications. I don’t…
So many thoughts and emotions running through my head and heart this week. Here’s just a few of them … sorry in advance I’ve been avoiding blogging or posting on social media about the protests happening all over this country.…
Things that happened, things I think, things I ponder, and other things that maybe don’t fit into any of those categories. My brain hurts when I think about all the hypocrisy in the world. People that spout their beliefs and…
Stuff I thought about while withering away in mind-numbing isolation due to a pandemic the likes of which I never want to see again in my lifetime. Social media is the devil. All I see is responses to outrage and…
