Farewell July 2020
I have my vast music collection and my love it all to get me through the shit storm. I’m also very lucky to have a new girlfriend who shares this passion (you rock Jennifer!) and a few friends with the … Continue reading
I’ve made it around the Sun 52 times
If it weren’t for Jennifer, great friends, great cats, my fun hobbies, my personal stream, my Macs and Austin (none in any particular order), the pandemic would’ve made this the worst birthday since 1985. Speaking of its 35th anniversary, I’ll … Continue reading

RIP John Saxon (neé Carmine Orrico)
My generation knows him mainly for being B-Movie royalty in such hits as Nightmare on Elm Street, Black Christmas and Battle Beyond Stars. But John was much, much more than that. He originally started out in more mainstream movies in the Fifties with … Continue reading

Movie 43
Forty-three is an updated version of The Kentucky Fried Movie which are both a collection of unrelated comedic skits/premises. In 43‘s case, it’s all strung together as a crazy person’s movie pitch. Are they funny? Given that most were written by or … Continue reading
Seattle’s new NHL® team has a great name!
Seattle being added to the NHL was always a smart choice. It’s south of Vancouver, north of Portland and in the last several decades it has grown to be a city which could handle a franchise. Although it’s not freezing … Continue reading
Just needs LEGO® Mr. Hanky®
Oddly, the bowl’s occupant is a brown three.
Spotted in Bastrop?
The Environmentalist in me is glad to know those horrible yard signs are being recycled into something for a second use. There’s always a chance this lady’s “solution” will be the new fashion when we’re living in the Mad Max era.
Turns out I have my annual sinus infection
The fact that Jennifer is a nurse is a happy side effect in our dating, I didn’t seek out someone with said profession. When I gave her a better description of my symptoms Jennifer concluded what I forgot to think … Continue reading

Holy crap! The new roof is done
The roofers pulled it off in a day! I know they were professionals but they had to tackle 2000 square feet (186 square meters) in unbearable heat; it was well over 100° F (40° C). The noise level while I … Continue reading

Today, my new roof (for my house) is being installed
A momentous day for Chez Maggi. I’m finally getting the original roof replaced. It was overdue because we all know today’s home builders just slap on something mediocre and it wasn’t meant to last more than a decade let alone … Continue reading
