Y'all... I think that we, as a society, are in trouble. When we look at human history, for the most part, we see technology advancing very slowly. Suddenly, we hit the back half of the 19th century and it seems like our technological advances begin to grow exponentially. Don't worry, I'm not trying to downplay … Continue reading Could We Be Lazier?

After Seeing Avengers: Endgame… No, Really, I Mean It This Time…
All right… Has everyone seen Avengers: Endgame by this point? If you haven’t, you may be one of the ten who did not see the movie. But we are now more than two months past its opening weekend and even the Russo brothers, directors of the film, have stated that the ban on spoilers was … Continue reading After Seeing Avengers: Endgame… No, Really, I Mean It This Time…
Splitting the Check
All right kids, help me out with this. What's the norm? When you go to a restaurant with a big group of people, do you tell your server that you're on individual checks or do you let the restaurant just divide the check up evenly, no matter what everyone gets? Personally, I've only ever experienced … Continue reading Splitting the Check
That Time I Got Tricked Into Watching Peppa Pig
I recently took a trip down to Raleigh for a friend's daughter's high school graduation. It's funny... A few months ago, I remember talking with coworkers about how I don't understand why people voluntarily go to graduation ceremonies. There's nothing entertaining about them. At best, you get a couple of speakers and someone who has … Continue reading That Time I Got Tricked Into Watching Peppa Pig
These Dreams
I've been having some memorable and vivid dreams lately. Now, I have a tendency to go through phases in my sleep where I'll go a month or so not remembering any of my dreams. And then I'll have a week where I have one or two dreams per night that I can very easily recall. … Continue reading These Dreams
Avoid the Noid
I'm not sure if I've mentioned here that I'm a pretty big fan of The Goldbergs. It's not gonna go down in history as my favorite sitcom in history, but at this moment in time, it gets me right in the feels. Did I use that phrase right? Is that what the kids are still saying? … Continue reading Avoid the Noid
Getting By
Here's the thing... I'm not writing this post as a pity party. I'm not looking for sympathy. I'm not looking for a hand out. I've just got a lot on my mind and I do better when I process things while writing. The fact that people reading this blog get to share in my jumbled … Continue reading Getting By
The Fiona Fiasco, Part III
Well... it has been an eventful afternoon. Wait... what's the last thing you heard about my car? That was last Friday, right? That's when I thought my biggest problem was a fuel pump that was gonna cost about $500 that I really didn't have. I got a call on Monday from our good friend at … Continue reading The Fiona Fiasco, Part III
He Would Have Been 66 Today
You know, I used to think it odd that my dad would make an effort to mention his grandfather's birthday whenever it came along throughout the year. He would tell me it was Popi's (pronounced like Popeye) birthday and how old he would have been. I never said it out loud, but I know I … Continue reading He Would Have Been 66 Today
The Fiona Fiasco, Part II
When last we left off, it was Tuesday of this week and things were not looking good. It's now Friday of this week and things are still not looking good. But let's back up... I kind of expected to hear something from my contact/service guy at the dealership on Wednesday. But I didn't. Not a … Continue reading The Fiona Fiasco, Part II
