I like to think that I'm a sneaky guy. That I can move about silently and quickly without being heard or seen. Some people at work seem to think so, at least. My wife, on the other hand? Well... With her working on shift, she tends to go to bed considerably earlier than I do.… Continue reading Summer Shorts: Am I a Ninja?
An Adventure of a Lifetime
There are times in your life when you go out looking for a new adventure, and other times when a new adventure goes out looking for you. Sometimes, both. I suppose this would be one of those stories. I recently just came back from a trip to Las Vegas. For some of you reading this,… Continue reading An Adventure of a Lifetime
Do You Get Where I’m Coming From?
Ancestry is a funny thing. Or at least, that's the feeling I get from reading different articles on Facebook. I know, I know. I should know better, but I don't. I can't help myself. I see an interesting headline, and I click on it. Feel free to judge me if you wish, but I also… Continue reading Do You Get Where I’m Coming From?
Whispers of the Past
This morning, crawling through the usual social media sprawl, I ran upon a single image that made me stop for a moment.

It should come as no surprise at this point that the restaurant industry has taken a pounding over the last two years. Even more… Continue reading Give a Little, Save a Lot
A New Year Is a Good Year
Here we are. The end of 2021. Finally! Good riddance, right? I hear you.
A Silent Night
It doesn't feel much like Christmas. At least, that's how I've been feeling. December seems to have rushed by in a flash. I've only managed to put up the Christmas tree last week, and now here we are. People just seem constantly tired and irritable. I can't say I'm any better. Maybe it's still COVID,… Continue reading A Silent Night
Fossils in Focus: Mosasaur
Remember that scene in Jurassic World? The movie where the giant meat-eating fishy dino jumps out of the pool like a dolphin and eats the shark whole? Pretty cool, right? Yeah... that's probably not what they were like at all. I love the Jurassic World/Jurassic Park franchise, but they really love to embellish quite a… Continue reading Fossils in Focus: Mosasaur
Thanks and Memory
