Tuesday evening I was having a hard time coming up with something to blog about. I'm sticking with that whole blogging every day thing for as long as I can. I've still got a streak going and I just don't want to break it unless I absolutely have no choice. So I took to the … Continue reading Cupcakes and Rainbows

Pi Day
Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the first 100 digits of π... 3.1415926535897932384626433832795028841971693993751058209749445923078164062862089986280348253421170679 At least, that's what the internet told me. So... Yeah... It's Pi Day and I don't have any pie to enjoy. But I don't feel like there's any point in going to the store right now to get some. Because if they … Continue reading Pi Day
Nobody in Authority Is Actually Helping
That post title is probably hyperbole. I hope it is, anyway. But this is where the super polarization that we're experiencing between political ideologies is completely to our detriment as a society. On the one hand, you have conservative leaders underplaying the coronavirus pandemic, warning that the media is feeding into an unnecessary panic. On … Continue reading Nobody in Authority Is Actually Helping
A Dream About the Moon
So... I had another weird dream again... This time, it was about as close to a lucid dream as I think I've ever experienced. You know what lucid dreaming is, right? If I understand correctly, it's basically where you are aware of your dream and can control what's going on. I imagine it's like being … Continue reading A Dream About the Moon
Stuff to Do in Roanoke
I recently had a client complain to me that there's just nothing to do in our city. And it's a complaint that I remember hearing a lot when I was a kid. Growing up around here, I think I even made that complaint from time to time because I'm certain I eventually took things for … Continue reading Stuff to Do in Roanoke
This Is 40
In honor of today being my 40th birthday, I thought I'd take a look at some other people and things that are turning the big 4-0. There's no one famous who shares my specific birthday, unlike my mother who likes to claim that Vanna White is her twin sister. Well, no one famous according to … Continue reading This Is 40
Another Leap Day
Every four years this day comes along and I keep on crossing my fingers in hopes that this year... this will be the Leap Day when someone finally announces that they're going to reboot Quantum Leap. It didn't happen today. And it hasn't happened in the 27 years since the classic time travel show was unjustly … Continue reading Another Leap Day
The Limit Does Not Exist!
Except that it does. And I'm sorry for the click-bait-y nature of that post title. That is clearly a direct quote from Mean Girls. But that's as close to this post being about Mean Girls as I'm gonna get. I apologize. I've made more than a few financial missteps in my adult life. It's easy to … Continue reading The Limit Does Not Exist!
May I Please See the Manager?
I had another weird dream last night. It started out normal enough... but it took a turn. The extended family of my childhood had all gotten together to have dinner at this seafood restaurant that we were apparently very familiar with. In reality, I did not recognize this place at all. But in the dream, … Continue reading May I Please See the Manager?
I Suffer From RBF, Part II
I'm sure you can tell from the title that this is the sequel to a post I wrote some time ago. To recap: RBF stands for "Resting Bitch Face" and it's something I definitely have. I have this tendency to look stressed out or super angry when my face is just at rest with no … Continue reading I Suffer From RBF, Part II
