A very awesome gift from my friends out East! A Lego-compatible mug that I need to decorate later. Currently, I have the Where’s-My-Pants guy on the side looking for his recently pressed slacks.

Sorry I wasn’t very timely on Oumuamua’s passing by the earth but I was excited about our Astronomers finally discovering and confirming an object passing through our solar system that didn’t originate “here.” According NPR stories, Oumuamua on now hurtling on its … Continue reading

Quadruple movement achieved

Could’ve sworn I’ve done this before but it turns out, I haven’t until last night. I pulled it off by hitting the gym to do my big workout on a Saturday, then normal stuff and concluding with a lot of … Continue reading

A place of honor for my butt

A perk for being a season-ticket holder is getting a nameplate on the seat I’ve had with our hockey team for seven of their nine seasons. First season, I was in the seat behind this one and last season, we … Continue reading
