Our Cats
We have two cats. Or more accurately, we are owned by two cats. They have larger than life personalities and I know some people don’t understand how pets are very much like children. These cats are like toddlers. They can be really sweet, but they also have tantrums which include purposely swatting at the blinds,…

A Review of The Wonder Years (as an adult)
I loved The Wonder Years as a kid. I got a black and white tv the year it came out for Christmas and I watched that very first episode on my own tv. Fred Savage and I are pretty close in age and it was awesome to find a show that seemed to be right…

Holiday Planning
The holidays are rapidly approaching and there are so many plans to be made. When do the kids go to see their father? What do we want to give them? What do we want to give each other? Who all are we buying for this year? What might they like? Do we want to travel…

Weekend Round Up
This weekend has been a whirlwind of adventure. I’m over 40,000 words on NaNoWriMo and my story is shaping up nicely. I will be done early and I will definitely be over 50K words. It’s always amazing when I can actually write an entire story like this. I have too many unfinished projects on my…

The Sound of Silence
Disturbed version (Official Video) This version of this song is MY SONG. David Draimen, the lead singer, just emotes so much during the entire song. The music, the instruments, the way he sings the lyrics, his face, all of it is so intense. I’ve known the original version of this song for my entire life…

RIP Leslie Jordan
I was scrolling social media and was stunned to see a post that Leslie Jordan died today. It’s believed that he had a medical emergency and then crashed his car into a building. Damn. He was such a funny guy. Call Me Kat is a weird show, but he made it funny. Mayim Bialik is…

My Strange Request
My youngest, the almost 10 year old, is obsessed with gift giving. Once you reach the 90 days before your birthday, she’s after you to create a list of things you might like as gifts. She always has a running list of gift ideas for herself and the second anyone is looking for ideas for…

Changes
I’ve been blogging for almost 3 months. I have noticed a lot of changes in that time. I am getting so much more comfortable with speaking up for what matters to me and figuring out who I am after a lifetime of putting on a stage production called “My life as it’s been dictated to…

Cults
We love documentaries about cults. At this point we have watched more than I can even remember. Scientology, FDLS, Heaven’s Gate, Jonestown, Branch Davidians, NXIVM, Doc Antle, Children of God, Rajneeshpuram, we have seen it all. I think what fascinates me the most is how the leaders (who seem more like ordinary idiots than idols)…

The Kid Life
My wife and I spent the gloomy afternoon playing the Classic NES. It was just as fun as I remember, although I used to be a lot better. “Hours of a misspent youth,” as I call it. Sometimes you just need to shake things up and do something when it’s too gross to get outside.…
