If Black Pants Are Wrong, I Don’t Want to Be Right
I recently had a long conversation with a couple coworkers about what I thought were the most common thing on Earth- black pants. Half of my pants are black and I assumed that this was just normal. Apparently not. 2 of the 4 people in the conversation claimed to not own a single part of black pants. NONE. Not a… Read more »
If Pets had Thumbs Day
Here is the height of silliness- it’s If Pets had Thumbs Day! I often wonder what my cats would say if they could speak. But I’ve less frequently wondered what they would do if they had opposable thumbs. I suspect that Boots would work out how to get more food into her bowl. Lilly would probably figure out how to… Read more »

And also just like those locations, sometimes your computer needs a good deep cleaning. If you are comfortable doing it yourself, there are several good software options out there… Read more »
Getting Involved
By the time you read this I likely will have already made a strongly worded statement to the local city council about comments they made during their budget workshop. This will be the second time I will have addressed the council during the public section of the meeting. While national politics are certainly important, many decisions that impact you each… Read more »
Create a Vacuum Day
The origins of this day are unclear but who cares? If you have the technology go ahead and create a space devoid of air. Or put a vacuum cleaner together if you don’t work for a laboratory or NASA or are an evil genius. If you ARE an evil genius please remember that I’m celebrating you when you plan world… Read more »
