Book Recommendation – Dark Matter

After seeing this book come up as a recommendation on Goodreads, Facebook and Tik Tok, I finally had the chance to read Dark Matter by Blake Crouch. I was on the fence as to whether or not I wanted to read it. I wasn't sure I could get into the "sci-fi" of it. I kept … Continue reading Book Recommendation – Dark Matter →

I Wondered When This Would Happen

The above photo is one of many AI photos created to show "what Elvis would look like if he were still alive." While it is interesting to see what AI comes up with, things are beginning to get out of control. Scroll Instagram or Tik Tok today and you will eventually find videos that feature … Continue reading I Wondered When This Would Happen →

The Music of My Life – 2018 & 2019

Welcome back to The Music of My Life. I began this feature last May on my birthday. Over the past 11 months, I have featured 10 songs from every year of my life. The songs featured were released in that week's particular year. It may have been a bigger hit the following year, but I … Continue reading The Music of My Life – 2018 & 2019 →

Spy A Little Spy For Me

Sometimes I just have to chuckle. Apparently, my life is still of interest to folks from my past who have yet to move on. Let me explain. I had one of those Tik Tok pages a while ago. My coworkers sit and watch videos at work when they get a break. One of them suggested … Continue reading Spy A Little Spy For Me →

Friday Photo Flashback

I'm not trying to rush into Fall, because Lord knows most of us want to enjoy what is left of Summer! This is that time of year when you start seeing the posts about summer not being over and to stop talking about pumpkin spice lattes! I was looking for a specific photo this week … Continue reading Friday Photo Flashback →

Friday Photo Flashback

This week's Friday Photo Flashback is brought about by my wife. The kids both have bikes with training wheels on them. We've had them outside a few times on them and Andrew seems to get how to pedal, but Ella needs a bit of help. My wife is what I would call a "Tik Tok-er." … Continue reading Friday Photo Flashback →

Jotting Down Some Randomness

The past week has been one of change and challenges for me. I am usually not lacking things I want to write about, but the past few days have been ... well, busy. I've jotted little random thoughts in my "possible blog" notebook but none of them really warrants a full blown blog. So I … Continue reading Jotting Down Some Randomness →

Stereotyped?

We have a gal at work who talks about the funny stuff she watched on this TikTok App. Another friend will occasionally send me text messages with a link to some TikTok video. When this happens, I will watch it on the web and not in the app. Well, recently, someone sent me a link … Continue reading Stereotyped? →
