    23 Feb 2021
    A recent post where I opened up about the feelings that came out of a seemingly innocuous conversation with Katie on a rainy day trip for school photographs really seemed to strike a chord with the community of friends on Facebook with whom I shared the link to the story. The prevailing view seemed to […]

    It’s not the cheapest technique I can envision but it certainly was very successful this afternoon! Ingredients: Planet Mars Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter Mars 2020 Perseverance Lander “Seven Minutes of Terror” So, nerd that I am (and have been repeatedly accused of being by my daughter Katie!)…of course I was taking a break from the current […]

    Oh, what to do on a dreary Saturday morning doing it’s best imitation of properly wet and dreary British weather? I’ve spent the morning going to the shoppes for groceries, Nick’s off to work at DQ and I’m thinking it’s well past time for lunch but haven’t a clue what I’m in the mood for […]

    A week ago, Katie and I had a bit of time together as I had collected her from Clayton for her photo appointment at Enloe High School…a task that necessarily did not include her constant companion named Mistletoe! As we’re on the way back toward Clayton, the conversation turned toward the looming second impeachment trial […]

    Today’s bit of joy dealing with customer disservice comes to us courtesy of Amazon. Now, don’t get me wrong…Amazon has been a god-send during the pandemic to keep me out of the brick-and-mortar germnasiums and help with practicing social distancing (yay!) without having to wear a mask (not so yay!). And to be fair, the […]

    Watching the Penguins-Rangers game being played in a nearly empty Madison Square Garden and listening to the crowd noise backing track and I can’t help but wonder this: Did the Rangers slip in that very distinctive wolf whistle you often hear at MSG that is followed by the entire arena yelling “POTVIN SUCKS!!!”? I haven’t […]

    I came across some interesting bit of local news this morning prior to making the usual journey to collect Katie, Alex, and Mistletoe for today’s bit of virtual schooling at the house. It seems that someone fell asleep at the wheel round 0420 and ended up torpedoing the Burger King that I tend to visit […]

    The motorcade carrying President Biden and Vice President across the Memorial Bridge to Arlington National Cemetery on their way to the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Dad’s section would be behind the Visitor’s Centre (to your right as you’re looking back toward Abe’s place over the bridge). Thanks to the President and Vice President for […]

    20 Jan 2021
    Two weeks ago, Katie and I were watching the debate in the Senate after the challenge to Arizona’s slate of electors during the certification of the Electoral College votes that was set to confirm President-Elect Biden’s victory in November. All of a sudden, Vice President Pence interrupted Senator Lankford of Oklahoma who was in the […]
  • From the “Proof Positive You’re An Old School CSPAN Junkie” Dept:
    by Erik Williams
    07 Jan 2021
    If tuning into CSPAN and CSPAN2 isn’t enough to convince people you’re a masochistic political junkie (though truth be told, most of the time it is for Prime Minister’s Questions from the British House of Commons on Wednesday morning!)…noticing that the graphics used to show the vote tally during the House of Representatives recorded votes […]
