Happy birthday to Kate! (2015)
Of all the co-workers and friends I made during my seven years with Kenny’s Coffee Company, I had little doubt we’d still be talking to each other, occasionally hanging out. Why? Because we’re fellow Leos. We may be over a … Continue reading
Happy Birthday to me ’15
Took the day off from work as I traditionally do. Gotta’ suck up all those freebies you can for being a loyal customer at Alamo (saw Vacation), ate at Plucker’s and had my drink covered at Starbucks. Overall, it has been … Continue reading
Back to the Future: 30th Anniversary Quote-along!
I wasn’t going to let this awesome replay anniversary slide away although the event we went to took place about four weeks ago. Universal has also announced they’re having the movie hit theaters for a limited time to celebrate. Alamo as … Continue reading

Four thousand posts
A nice spot between my birthday and wedding anniversary. It’s 27 days late but as the cliché goes…better late than never. What to talk about? How about the math. Let’s see, this format began on July 3, 2005. That makes … Continue reading

Bonne Anniversaire Christina!
The 27th is always a great and eventful day. My trilingual friend who turned out to be the best legacy of working at DG celebrates her special day (I already knew Rad via Stvee, he doesn’t count). What’s the plan? … Continue reading
Twelve years of marriage
With some help from a vendor at Brick Fiesta, I modified our Lego avatars to join the out-of-stock, business-card holder. Not sure which language it’s aimed at. The darned thing only comes with three Es, two Ss and one U … Continue reading
In honor of their return…
…I give you Lego Rick and Morty! Tonight they kick off their second season on Adult Swim with more whacky adventures across time, space, reality and unprotected liquor cabinets. I know Morty wears a yellow shirt but Lego doesn’t do … Continue reading
Princess Leia fan, right on!

Shut up and take my money #1!
Futurama may no longer be having any new adventures beyond its comic book (published six times a year) but it’s great to see the show continue to have new calendars. This one is the best because expired months can be recycled … Continue reading

New Horizons made it and the new information is great!
I won’t deny being late to the party when it comes to all the Pluto hype. I’ve been busy taking care of my health and cleaning up affairs key to the maintenance of the Maggi Republic. I have been an … Continue reading
