Sixty degrees the last couple of days. Sixty degrees by the middle of this week. But today? Today I woke to this mess. It got warmer today than it was supposed to, so there’s been a lot of melting. I went out earlier and used a brook to clear the snow off my car. GoContinue reading “Go Home Winter”
Meanwhile on Sesame Street…
We do not talk enough how Elmo brought in the Daleks to take care of his “Rocco Problem” permanently…
Signs of Spring
I saw a bird’s nest in a tree outside the office early this afternoon when I was outside on my lunch break. Maybe not a sign of spring — it’s too early for a bird to have built a nest — but it’s still a lovely thought, that spring will soon be here and lifeContinue reading “Signs of Spring”
Anniversaries and Old Photographs
Diamond Comic Distributors celebrated its 40th-anniversary today. And, even though the office doesn’t have many people working out of it right now due to COVID, the office was decorated for the day with signs. There was even a banner at the main entrance. I hadn’t been out the doors into the main lobby since MarchContinue reading “Anniversaries and Old Photographs”

I understand it — it’s all about getting fans through the turnstiles and in the seats and finding fun things to attract the crowd — butContinue reading “Beisbol!”

The idea is that, to get people blogging again, WordPress will send out a prompt that people are to write a post about that day, and they’re supposed to use the prompt and the bloganuary tag. I signed up for this, but the first week of JanuaryContinue reading “January WordPress Codery”
The Loneliest Christmas Tree
There is a Christmas tree at the office this year, even though the office is quite deserted in these Omicron times. Since almost no one will have seen it, I’m sharing it. A little bit of Christmas. I didn’t even put up my own tree this year.
Rediscovering a Piece of Hobbit Music
The things you find on old hard drives… a suite of music based on The Hobbit trailer, before the first film came out. It’s impressive what fans can do. 🙂 I admit — I used a utility to “rip” this from the YouTube video back in the day, and when i found it again inContinue reading “Rediscovering a Piece of Hobbit Music”
Cosmic Wonder
Slim sliver of a moon as I was leaving the office tonight.
