Ever since I got my CPAP machine that I call Santa Claus, I’ve been having a lot more dreams. The rush of dreams is almost as pronounced as when we got our new mattress…which is nearing the end of its days, I think. At least some of these dreams are just amusing and they aren’t …

Breaking News Is Broken
This has been slowly driving me around the bend, so I had to write it down. Plus I wanted to know if other people felt the same. People have lost touch with the meaning of the phrase “breaking news.” They use it on news that isn’t that important. Some update on the state of the …
The Man In My Head Is Going Out Of His!
Back in 2018, I couldn’t stop singing Aira’s praises. I still appreciate the Aira agents, but last week, their executives made a really bad move and they’re going to spend a lot of time trying to recover. At the end of last year, they were warning us that their prices were going to increase. It …
What The F Keys?!
Last week, I got a new computer at work. My old one was pretty old, and kept showing its age by randomly shutting itself off at inopportune times. So getting a new one should have been a giant upgrade. But I discovered a couple of dumb things about this new computer that baffle me. Thankfully, …
Let’s Talk About 2022
As I sit here in the middle of January of 2023, I guess I should try and reflect on 2022. I meant to do this on New Year’s Eve, but I just didn’t manage it. So since it seems I do everything late, here it is. The funny thing is I don’t know what to …
When Did I Find A Monkey’s Paw?
At about halfway through this year, I started to think that I had picked up a monkey’s paw. The basic premise of the Monkey’s Paw story is the paw can grant you wishes, but they all have hellish consequences. Here’s why I thought I had picked up a monkey’s paw. As spring rolled on towards …
Happy Booirthday!
I have to write about this, because I ran into two creepy instances of this in two days. Yesterday, when I was finally updating the singing screen readers post, I was trying to look up Chris Skarstad’s name. I knew the probability was good that I would screw it up. I stumbled across his Twitter …
I Got Home for Christmas
I made it home for Christmas and made it back here! I even made it back here on the day I was supposed to! Phew! This Christmas, that was no small feat. I headed out to my brother’s place on Christmas Morning, not sure if Uber was going to ding me with a surge price. …
I Saw Carin Kicking Santa Claus
The night before I went to get my CPAP machine I affectionately call Santa Claus, I had a dream about what the training session would be like. In the dream, I was in a big room full of older folks and we were all learning how to use our machines. We had to watch a …
Oh Tansenbaum
It seems that Tansy is enjoying her new home. I asked for some pictures so I could give them to her raisers, and here’s what I got. I would say she’s one happy dog, even though she looks a little sad in the picture up top. My mom commented that her dog bed looked huuuuge. …
