This blog shall stop at nothing and stay there, bringing all undiscerning readers up to date information about significant items of interest and intrigue that will certainly be interesting to someone somewhere at sometime. I shall also try to avoid being vague.
I apologize for the length of time it has taken for me to get back on the saddle to get back in the saddle as well in writing. I would love to give a few excuses, but they would all pale in comparison to the truth: I was on a classified mission to save the …

The Cuban Missile Crisis in October 1962 was one of the closest moments that the United States and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics ever came to a nuclear conflict during the Cold War era. At the time, it was a defining moment for the Kennedy administration. A moment where any kneejerk reaction from either …

My kids have become fans of Ghostbusters. They love the first two movies and The Real Ghostbusters cartoon show. Proton packs are reality to them. They don’t know who Bill Murray is at first, but they know Peter Venkman. They can whip out the answer to the question “Who you gonna call?” without hesitating. And since they’re …
Golly, it has been a while since the last time I journeyed back into the ever dimming past to dredge up a heavily reedited concert memory for your reading pleasure! Well, all I can say is thank you for your patience and I’ll be with you momentarily as I try to think of a topic. …

(Gosh, I can’t believe that Disnarvel is finally doing a follow-up to this movie! Anyway, as a mere child, I wrote this back in 2019 and now that a sequel that no one asked for, starring people that no one really cares about, is maybe perhaps coming out some time, I thought I’d resurrect this …

Since the statute of limitations has finally passed, the curtain can be lifted so I can share that I had the privilege of being at the 117th U.S. Open in 2017! The Open was located at Erin Hills Golf Course in the township of Erin near Hartford, WI in Washington County contained within the great state …
(This post was originally written back in March 2016. Seeing as how the Dalai Lama ended up in the news recently and realizing that with Earth Day coming up, I’m doing my part to recycle.
