A Crossroads in the Multiverse
It’s that time of year again. The time of year when we celebrate love in all its forms: romantic, familial, parental, friendly, platonic, and even pet-centric. Valentine’s Day.

We’re about to get slammed with a big snowstorm in my part of the world. It’s been one of those winters and you know what? I love it. Winters should be wintry. They should be freezing and have plenty of snow. They should force you to wear layers and warm coats and scarves and all…
2025 Wrapped
Here we are, my last post of 2025. Per annual tradition, it’s time to take stock of the year that was for me. My Theme for 2025: Mortality Last year was all about transition.

10 Things I Think I Think On April 27, 2024
Spring is upon us, and oh, how the mind flourishes this time of year, with all those treebuds opening, flowers blooming, people out and about with fewer clothes on, and longer, warmer days lighting our way to another endless summer! Moods are brighter, my friends! Smiles abound. A long, shitty winter of my discontent is…
10 Things I Think I Think
Man, are some of these posts dense or what? Long-winded. Starchy. Reading them is like trying to chase a pound of spaghetti with a loaf of garlic bread and a potato. Maybe I should start using subheadings like I do with my legal briefs. Anyhoo, I’d like to add a little levity and brevity to…
