It's July 2022, and after almost exactly 28 months of pandemic I got Covid. And it sucked. I'm fine (so far). But it sucked. Deniers like to say "it's only the flu!" Yeah? Maybe? The worst flu I've ever been through, to be honest. Considering this "flu" had my Mom really sick and almost killed... Continue Reading →
It’s been a year.
I'll never forget getting called into a meeting last year on March 10 and being told "this is serious and we're treating it seriously. Take your gear home and expect to work from home until told otherwise."From my company who does not make snap judgements or quick decisions, this was a big deal.And I fucking... Continue Reading →
Sunday Morning Music-Fishbone
I'll be honest I kind of forgot about Fishbone, but with it being Black History Month they've started popping up in my social media. There was a time in my early 20's I casually followed them, not sure how I got turned onto them? Maybe they were at Lollapalooza one year? I actually own the... Continue Reading →
That tool you didn’t know you needed
There's always some tool you don't have that you need. Back around Black Friday my neighbor said "Hey, Home Depot has a great deal on this thing." I happened to go to the HD that weekend, looked but didn't find it, and didn't have time to find someone to help me find it and then... Continue Reading →

She picked out some she liked online, and they weren't complicated so I figured... Continue Reading →
Covid19-Work from Home Day 96
Desk chairs, man. The bane of our existence. Modern day torture racks. A good one can make a day tolerable. A bad one can send you to an orthopedic surgeon. But today, friends? Today my new chair arrived. Behold it's glory.Yes, it came in a bag, inside a box, inside a very slightly bigger box.Yes... Continue Reading →
Saturday Afternoon Music- Idles
I don't know anything about this band, but in light of what's going on in our country and in England this sound struck a chord in me, no pun intended. https://youtu.be/mRkUt9VnaR0
Covid19-Work from Home Day 86
It's funny the stuff you get excited about as an adult.Today is trash pick up day. I also scheduled a bulk pick up to take away things like an old water heater, an 8-foot folding table, some old bed frame rails. Stuff that's big and bulky and can't go in the normal cans. I was... Continue Reading →
