Tomorrow is April 1. That means tomorrow begins the A to Z Challenge. I am truly unprepared for this thing. I said I would be writing some kind of short fiction every day based on random words beginning with each day's appropriate letter. Thus far, I've received words from friends and family for A through … Continue reading I’m Not Ready for This
Random Thoughts
Placebos
I feel confident that if I mention the placebo effect that we all basically understand what I'm talking about, right? Okay, just in case, here's the dictionary definition: a beneficial effect produced by a placebo drug or treatment, which cannot be attributed to the properties of the placebo itself, and must therefore be due to … Continue reading Placebos
A Confusing Comment
I typically trust that WordPress does a good job of filtering spam comments from the real thing. I trust it so much, in fact, that I very rarely ever click over into my spam comments that never see the light of day. I actually just took a look at some of my more recent spam … Continue reading A Confusing Comment
That Time I Got a Flat Tire
I got a flat tire this morning. While I was taking my first client of the day to an appointment. And it wasn’t the kind of flat that could just have air added to hold me over. No… this tire was done. So I had to change the tire. Which isn’t typically a problem. I … Continue reading That Time I Got a Flat Tire

I'm always intrigued when brands that I'm familiar with and regularly enjoy come out with new versions or flavors. I mean, Mountain Dew is doing it all the time, right? In the last 20 years there have probably been more flavors of Mountain Dew than there were different brands of soda available when I was … Continue reading Starlight
Keeping the Streak Alive!
Normally I would have posted a Quantum Leap episode recap here. Because it’s Tuesday. And what a Tuesday it’s been. Also… Yesterday was about the Mondayest Monday that’s been in a while. So I really didn’t have the energy to preplan today’s post. I’m home from work now and had every intention of posting the … Continue reading Keeping the Streak Alive!
2021 – A Year in Review
Where do I even begin with this? January? Well, we started out strong. Coming out of a year that many have come to lovingly refer to as a dumpster fire, it was nice to see people coming together. Oh... wait... no, that coming together less than a week into 2021 resulted in a whole lot … Continue reading 2021 – A Year in Review

Hey kids! I just wanted to take a quick minute or two to wish you all a merry Christmas. I hope that today is whatever you need it to be for your physical and mental health. Whether you're spending time with family or friends or you're home alone this holiday, I hope it's a wonderful … Continue reading Merry Christmas
Being Santa
First of all, let’s just agree that the guy sitting on the throne of lies at the mall is not the real Santa Claus. But that doesn’t make the fake Santa a bad guy. We shouldn’t try and pick a fight with him simply because he smells like beef and cheese. The Santas at the … Continue reading Being Santa
Those Made-For-TV Christmas Movies
I just don't get the appeal. I can't say that... Which means I should go back and erase that, but I'm leaving it for dramatic effect. No, in part, I do understand the appeal of those made-for-TV Christmas movies. It's the holiday season and who doesn't enjoy a feel good love story that follows a … Continue reading Those Made-For-TV Christmas Movies
