Hey, kids. How are y'all doing? No, really. How are y'all doing? The world is crazy right now and it can be super easy for us to go crazy right along with it. It's one thing for us to wish each other well, to stay healthy and safe during a pandemic like this. But all … Continue reading Checking In

We Are the World
This is actually a post I meant to write a long time ago. Back before I transitioned into one of the work from home masses, I was still driving around with my clients and listening to the radio. At that time, around mid-March, we were still on the cusp of understanding just how serious the … Continue reading We Are the World
Late to the Quarantine Party
For the last couple of weeks, as the rest of the United States has slowed to a crawl and been systematically shutting down, I've continued being in the world. Calm down, it's not because I'm being irresponsible and saying screw social distancing. It's because my job has been deemed essential. Because mental health doesn't really … Continue reading Late to the Quarantine Party
Cupcakes and Rainbows
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
