Today is the last day of 2019 and, therefore, the last day of the 2010s. What can we say about the decade that was? I'll be honest... 2010 doesn't feel like it was 10 years ago. Though, I suppose the older I get, the faster time seems to go by. I'll be 40 years old … Continue reading The 2010s: A Decade in Review

I Took My Mom to See a Star War
If the title didn't give it away, let this first line be your fair warning... THERE WILL BE SPOILERS FOR STAR WARS: THE RISE OF SKYWALKER.

Question of the Week #207

But I also think it's kind of gross when I watch people like Rhett & Link eat bugs for the sake of entertainment. I think I could do it, though.

Question of the Week #205
If you could prevent either an earthquake in Peru that would kill 40,000 people, a crash at your local airport that would kill 200 people, or an automobile accident that would kill an acquaintance of yours, which would you choose?
