My laptop is back in working order. It’s still old and has a bad screen, but it works. I’m glad I don’t have to try to do a real post on my iPad. On to my week in review, Movies I am 99 percent sure I did not watch a movie this week. With the … More My Week in Books, Movies, and TV 7/30/21
I use a very old laptop when I write. It was my daughter’s before she upgraded for college. When I started working from home I started using it for work. It was old and clunky, but it worked. I could do what I needed to do. Part of the screen was messed up. There was … More Laptop Woes
Someone I follow posted a book tag post yesterday. It reminded me that sometimes I like to take a break from formulating a post from my own thoughts and do a fun book tag post. I searched book tags this morning and found this one. So, here goes my answers to the Book Snob Book … More The Book Snob Book Tag

I did not initiate any Zoom reunions during lockdown. I don’t plan social events and invite friends over. I’ve written about some of the … More Disappointing Messages
I can’t believe we are already nearing the end of July. It was another relatively uneventful week in Tater Town. Let’s find the good. My mood got a little better this week. My therapist returning from vacation likely helped. My wife and daughter were both physically at work Wednesday morning and I resisted the urge … More What’s Good in Tater Town 7/25/21
Every morning I look at Timehop and my Facebook memories. They reminded me that past me has done a lot on this date. One year I was in Zambia and walking a cheetah. One year I was in Sedona with my family. This story is about how it came about that ten years ago I … More Throwing Out the First Pitch
Before I get started with the weekly recap I feel I should mention that TimeHop tells me this is now the 13th anniversary of The World’s Common Tater. I guess WordPress no longer does notifications for things like that. So, happy Blogiversary to me! Now on to the recap. Edit: I did get the notification … More My Week in Books, Movies, and TV 7/23/21
My post idea for the day was not a fun one. I decided I didn’t really want to write another sad post so I decided to go back to an old standard – the music shuffle. I am going to start my Spotify playlist on shuffle and share the first ten songs that come up. … More Spotify Shuffle
We have hit a milestone here at The World’s Common Tater. This is post 1500! Unlike TV shows, this milestone post will not be bigger and better than the rest of the posts. There are no big guest stars or events. Just me thinking about my blogging life. I started the blog way back in … More Post 1500
