I’ve decided to create a post where I can put all of the things I say would be good band names. I will add to it as I remember old ones or come up with new ones. If you remember any I have said to you, please remind me. Here they are The Turd Brown…
The “new normal” means that I am not getting many new movies from the library. There’s no new network TV season. I don’t have as many books checked out because my days in the library don’t lend themselves to browsing the shelves. I don’t like to have to think to find my entertainment. Movies –…
Big 10 football is back The Big 10 has reversed course and has unpostponed the season. Football will start next month. Hey say they are able to do this because of improvement in testing. They will be able to test players every day with the quick tests and isolate the positives to slow the spread.…
I’m reading a book set in Philadelphia so today’s photo post is from what sightseeing I could do when I attended a conference after a snowstorm.
During my time at home in the spring I had some questions as I looked forward to whatever the future brings. Let’s see what answers I have.

I remember for a time it was…

Labor Day meant one less day of work this week. Coupons that encouraged us to order food rather than cook. The flooding rains on…
It is 9/11, a day that no one will ever forget. I wrote about my memory of the day before so today I will still do my regular recap of what I watched and read this week. Maybe 9/11 will remind people that we can come together in times of trouble instead of what we…
There is a lot in the news about colleges and corona. Campuses that have had large outbreaks and have sent students home. Colleges that have suspended in person learning. Colleges that are doing OK so far(not that they make the news). Debate about sending students home once there is an outbreak. I agree with Dr…
This week is the anniversary of our first time tagging along with my wife on her international work trips. It was Helsinki.
Resurrecting this post from the dead as it is something that continually bugs me. I don’t go to Starbucks as much as I did when I wrote this post, but that is a geography thing not a money thing. You have time to do what you want to do. It’s not a lack of time…
