I always said my retirement plan was to go back to work in the repair shop. With the store closing a couple of years back, that plan is out the window. But I may build up my tools and supplies and do more on my own, maybe take some classes to make sure I'm doing it right. It's been a fun journey, and it's nice to have something to tinker with that doesn't involve computers. Cheers to all the home technicians and hobbyists. Let's have some fun.

I was watching a YouTube video today reminiscing about vegan products in the 2000s. The one that stood out to me was rice milk. It had an earthy flavor to it, by itself or in whatever you made with it. Very different from the sometimes-cloying sweetness modern plant-based milks are.

Mac and cheeze with it was, ummm, interesting. 😀

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

10 years of attending SPIEL, the biggest board game fair in the world

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. As a board gamer, this is obviously a dream come true! I’ve been a casual board gamer for about 20 years, and a very serious board gamer for about 10-12 years. During my study […]
