Justice League
We went to see Justice League Friday night with some friends. Fun movie. If you’re into superhero movies, then you will enjoy this. Grab some popcorn and go. No spoilers here, but some general observations on superheroes, if I may: The “what if” element of comic book superheroes has always been fascinating to me. What… Read.

I Want You Back
I Want You Back by the Jackson Five is one of my favorite Motown songs ever. I really don’t want to ruin it, but I don’t know how to explain what’s going on in with this guy and his ex without making him sound like a jerk, and that, in fact, kind of ruins the… Read.

Just watch
Watching this made me so happy. Read.

Our eclipse story
The solar eclipse was way back in August but I’m just getting around to writing about it now. I believe I’ve already said enough about how good I am at procrastinating, so it seems unnecessary to enlarge on that any further. I got the idea I would like to see a total solar eclipse more… Read.

Stranger Things
We binge-watched the entire second season of Stranger Things last weekend, making us the two people in the whole nation who didn’t see it within the first twelve hours after it was released.

Mind blown
Most mind-blowing thing I learned last week: This guy … … and this guy … … are the same person! Holy shit! I went on a business trip last week that seemed to last a whole year, because that’s how much of your life gets sucked out of your soul when you’re behind the wheel… Read.

songs for the road
I brought a big box of CDs along on our three-day road trip last week so we would never be out of fresh songs to listen to. Turned out we reserved the only damned car in the DOT fleet that didn’t have a CD player. But good luck was with us: Each of us had… Read.

road trip FOREVER
I have to travel to do my job. Not always. In fact, not more than a few months out of the year, and that’s a very good thing because if I had to do this year-round I think I’d blow my brains out with a bazooka. Driving hundreds of miles a day, waking up in… Read.

road trip FOREVER
One of the best things about waking up at home instead of a hotel? The coffee doesn’t suck. I don’t know how many hotels I’ve stayed in while I’ve been away on business trips these past three months — getting close to a dozen, I would think — but I can say without hesitation that… Read.

Undercover Angel
I’m here to ruin another song for you! Or maybe not. The song I’ve been thinking about today is Undercover Angel by Alan O’Day. Ever heard of it? It was on the radio constantly in 1977 but I haven’t heard it since I graduated from high school. So maybe you haven’t heard it, in which… Read.
