Mom told me about a video that she found ominous. It was called “The Great Realization”. Am I wrong in thinking of it as honest and maybe a little too optimistic? I hope that, once we get something resembling normal back, that we don’t just go back to the way we used to be. I …

The Family Reunion Of My Dreams Is Not The Family Reunion Of My Dreams!
I had a dream that I thought I should write down because it was short, to the point, and simultaneously funny and disturbing. In the dream, we walked into a family gathering, the first one we were able to have in a while. We were all so happy to see each other, and there were …

All My University Memories Are Belong To History
I know I say this all the time, but I feel so old! Here’s the latest example. The All Your Base meme turned 20! Yup, it sure did! I remember living in the university residence, and all I kept hearing blasting from room to room was this! The first few times, I was drawn out …

It’s Official. I Have A Messed Up Head
It seems my brain has been kind of warped by this pandemic. I will hear things spoken, and before I can realize what they’re about, I’ll have a knee-jerk reaction that’s totally wrong.

A Playlist Just For Shmans
Steve told me that Spotify can make playlists for your pets with some information from you, and I had to try it out and see if any of Shmans’s favourite songs would show up on her list. They didn’t, but the playlist sounds like something that might be found on an easy listening station and …
More Ways To Get Your Food Delivered
When we decide to get food delivered, sometimes it’s sad because the place we really want to get food from isn’t on Skip the Dishes or Uber Eats and delivery options don’t seem to be around for it. Plus, we had heard about the less than friendly commissions of apps like Uber Eats and Skip …
Stuff about COVID Vaccines, And A Song Too!
I heard this song, and thought it was awesome and would give me an excuse to put up another link that I’ve wanted to post anyway. So we kinda sorta have COVID vaccines if we can keep the supply going. But there are a bunch of folks who are worried about how they came out …

New Regulations When You Fly With Your Service Dog
I just got this email a few days ago from Guide Dogs for the Blind about some new regulations to do with flying with your guide dog, whenever flying is a safe thing to consider doing again. It sounds like they’ve done most of this the right way. It could use a couple of tweaks, …
