If your parents became infirm and the only alternative to bringing them into your home was to put them in a nursing home, would you do so? What about a sister or brother who suffered a permanently crippling injury and--other than your home--had nowhere to go but a convalescent home? This is going to make … Continue reading Question of the Week #111

Stand Up
Remember a few weeks ago when I came to the blogging community for advice? I was about to take the stage as part of the entertainment for a thing with a group from my church. And I had no idea what I would actually be doing. I settled on a stand-up comedy routine. And Kristen … Continue reading Stand Up
I’ve Been Busy
I hate that excuse. Everyone's busy. And it's a horrible thing to say when someone asks how you're doing. "Busy..." How long has it been since I've written something on this blog that wasn't a Question of the Week, an AFI movie review, or a Buffy related post? No, really... I'm asking. It feels like … Continue reading I’ve Been Busy
12 Days of Christmas
Merry Christmas, kids! To celebrate this special day with you, my favorite readers in the whole wide world, I share the gift of song. It's not a big deal. Just me. Singing the 12 Days of Christmas. As performed by John Denver and the Muppets. Enjoy!

But why look at this temporary disease as no fun? Instead of engaging in a pessimistic attitude about your bronchitis, find ways of making it … Continue reading How to Make Bronchitis Fun
Day Twenty Three
A YouTube Video So this is the day when I'm supposed to post a YouTube video. Sadly, I don't have any decent YouTube videos of myself (yet). So I'll post this one. Seems fitting, what with Thanksgiving being this week and all...
Swagger Wagon
Welcome to another easy post. One of those in which I just share a video from the YouTube. This is a classic from our good friends at Toyota (who does not sponsor this blog, but probably should since my current and previous cars are/were both Toyotas). It's basically a long-form commercial for the Sienna. I … Continue reading Swagger Wagon
Tribute to Star Wars and John Williams
I first saw this video about six years ago. But I'm pretty sure it's a lot older than that because it mentions Episode III coming in 2005. I still get this guy's lyrics stuck in my head sometimes, particularly recently when I went to see Jurassic World and heard that classic Jurassic Park theme song … Continue reading Tribute to Star Wars and John Williams
