Growing up with dogs

Losing Bifi made me reminisce a lot about the pets in my life. First and foremost, Bifi is still on my mind a lot, and it still feels unreal that she’s not here anymore. I often still find myself yearning to pet her little head, missing that bond we shared. I want to hold on to those memories for as long as I can, because eventually they will fade.

She was not the first pet I lost. I grew up […]

Who watches the watchmen?

The past is not all about antics -- it's about caring for each other.

Call it materialistic, but I remember when my Muppet Central friends and I would all rush online on Christmas afternoon to talk about the Muppet gifts and some of the other stuff we got. I wish I had people to do that with now. My aunt did have some of my pictures from Atlanta made into Christmas ornaments that were really cool! I also got some nice Wandering Inn stuff. And all the blankets and socks we collectively got, we joked that it was like we lived in Alask! #Christmas #Reminiscing

I have the privilege of living not too far from the biggest annual board game fair in the world – SPIEL in Essen, Germany, which happens every October from Thursday to Sunday, and which has been around since 1983.

Little River Band - Reminiscing (Film CLIP) 1978

I miss the days of web forums. >20 years ago I frequented a couple for my specific interests, communicated with others who shared that interest, some I still remember as being cool people I'll never met in the meat space.

While I like Mastodon more than other similarly laid out social media sites, I'm not a fan of the "dumpster approach" to communications. I like discussions categorized and sorted into their own board.

Just some old man grumbling.
