Monday Morning Music
Where’d the sun go? It was so pretty this weekend, but this morning, we’re back to grey wintry mix. At least it’s warmer and looks to be so the rest of the week. I’ll take the trade. This morning’s video kind of fell into my lap, thanks to a discussion I was having with a [...]

Weekend Linkroll
As promised, here are this week’s links brought to you live from snowy southern Vermont, although not as snowy as more southern reaches of New England. Wishing everyone snowed in or without power quick and efficient snowplowing and utility repair. Ready for the ice tomorrow? Ick. Mobile Telephone Telepathy Test Rupert Sheldrake is looking for [...]
Happy Blog Birthday!
My blog had its first birthday on Friday! So, that’s kind of exciting. The most visited post in the past year? That would be the Blade Runner post. Most popular search term? “Susannah Dean,” who would have led those searchers to this post. I still need to write about her Outsider status. Folks also really [...]

Monday Morning Music (Tuesday Edition)
Sorry, all, that there was no video yesterday. I couldn’t find the exact one I wanted, and then my brain froze. It happens. The song I wanted to find was NRBQ‘s “Girl Scout Cookies,” because the Girl Scouts were out when we went grocery shopping on Saturday. Yay! I asked one of the girls how [...]

Weekly Linkroll
So, there’s a football game this evening. My feelings about football have become so mixed over the last few years. So many problems with the sport on so many levels. But my favorite city’s team is playing tonight, so I’m kind of excited. Not only that, but my second favorite city’s team is also playing. [...]

Your Ft Will Adore The nike jordan Sneakers and revel in the Come upon
I was feeling kind of relieved that there had only been one spam comment this week (plus a little lonely, I’ll admit that), given the number there were last week. That was just getting ridiculous. Ah, but this was waiting in my inbox today. The title of the post was the first sentence of [...]

Outsiders #3: The Man with No Name
Ages ago, back in 2012, I started a series of posts concerning outsiders in fiction. It’s a topic that continues to interest me, so today, I’m back at it. This time, my thoughts are about a character created by Clint Eastwood back in the 1960s. Okay, just to be clear, I’m not going to be [...]

Monday Morning Music
So, last week I attempted to be respectful and then went all goofy and ’70s on you. Today, I’m pretty sure I can avoid the ’70s part as the artist involved was a mere babe in the latter part of that wacky decade. Respectful and goofy? You tell me. Today’s video is one I discovered [...]

Weekend Linkroll
So, you thought I might have been kidding about my fingers last week, didn’t you? It got so cold on Friday that one of them turned white as I was driving home from the day job. Talk about startling. I wish I’d thought to take a picture. You would have been impressed, or creeped out, [...]

Monday Morning Music
Okay, fair warning, I’m feeling a little goofy today. The Ravens are going to the Super Bowl and I am still giddy over their victory last night. And it’s also Martin Luther King Day here in the U.S. Yay for that, as well. I had trouble picking a video for today. There are a lot [...]
