A Moment About Grief
As I’m looking to get back into writing things here for the blog, my brain is working through stuff related to my mother’s death – and that’s going to bleed through to things I post here. So – if that’s not...
Quirks, Habits & Tradition
To say I was a finicky eater growing up is like saying the sky is blue. My family will tell you stories. Lots and lots of stories. I’ll break it down to just a couple things. I would only eat cheese pizza. Spinach juice (the liquid left...
Where have I been?
So… I’ve been distracted by life and haven’t done much around the ol’ blog. Sorry about that. I’m working on fixing it and plan to be here more with updates and interesting things. Slowly at first and then we’ll see how things go. At this...
Coronavirus and me – no, I’m not sick
Well, everyone is talking about coronavirus / covid-19. And rightly so. But in all of it, there’s good and bad. People are focusing on the crazy. Wait – did I mention there’s also crazy? There’s a lot of crazy. For me, it...
CBS All Access is a terrible app
Against all that is good and decent in the world, I signed up for a second go with CBS All Access so I could watch Picard. I have thoughts on Picard for another post. For this one, I want to talk about the CBS App for my PS4. Because it’s...
Welcome back to My Brain
Well. It’s been a while. Far too long, actually. Been dealing with life, stuff and things – which I’ll endeavor to explain a little in another post. Still am dealing with those things, actually, but I want to get back to being here and...
That time I went to WorldCon and saw a bunch of people and ate great food and got the leg cramp of DOOM!
Here I am, a week out from WorldCon and actually writing up some sort of recap post. Yay me! This year, WorldCon was held in Kansas City, and also called MidAmeriCon 2. As I said in a previous post, I was not a program participant, but that...
My WorldCon schedule and other stuff
Howdee folks. I know I’ve been less than stellar at updating the site recently. I apologize, but there’s lots going on which keeps me busy. But, it’s that time of year when WorldCon rolls around, and I wanted to give everyone a...
Feel free to let up, Universe… Seriously…
Well. I’d intended for this to be something I would record and put out on The SF Signal podcast, but time has caught up to me on that. Life is an odd duck these days, and on the one hand, great things are happening for me – things I have...
The story about the furnace
So, this past week, we had an issue at Casa De ATFMB. The snow came down in full force, and the furnace decided to die. The day before, it was squeaking. My brother asked me to pick up Zoom Spout – an oil you can use to lubricate a blower...
Basketball and hot summer days
I don’t know why, maybe it’s the snow we’ve gotten the past couple of days here in Denver, but I found my brain wandering back down some very old roads, leading me back to Fresno. Maybe it was my chat with Mark Oshrio that...
Updates, cleaning and decluttering, and a new coffee pot
This weekend I spent a lot of time inside my house. A mood overtook me Friday night and I didn’t really want to do much of anything. Originally, I had several plans in mind, including a motorcycle expo I’m glad I didn’t take the...
