Bugs Bunny is 83!

To counter my digs at someone else, let’s hear it for my animal-spirit guide! You know I’m wearing one of my three pairs of Chucks featuring him too. I really also want to say “You’re doing a great job” to … Continue reading

David X Cohen’s ears were burning for his birthday!

My third Geeky Jersey based upon Planet Express arrived yesterday! Coincidence? I think not! It’s also just in time for the new season on Hulu in about 11 days. Why the ‘number’ F? For us computer-related workers, F = 15 … Continue reading

Fifty-four trips around the Sun today

Hard to believe I’ve made it this far! Over 40 years ago, many in Generation X figured the world would be destroyed in a nuclear holocaust as per many Sci-Fi chronologies, even the optimistic Star Trek predicted one by the … Continue reading

Al Jaffe of MAD Magazine is 101!

Comedian Dan Telfer made the best joke, Al’s birthday is now the perfect fold-in! For Gen Z and some Mills, back when MAD was around, the back, inside cover was an art-based joke by Al. It would ask a question and … Continue reading

Belated Birthday to Jennifer!

Ten days ago, Jennifer celebrated her birthday. It does annoy her that she has to share it with the Fourth be with You! She has a point. When I turned 13, all eyes were on the wedding of two inbreds … 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

Thanks for the wishes and all, mellow day

Took it mostly easy yesterday. Had to get up relatively early to have some finishing touches done to my new car, goop they put on the windshield to protect it from all the damned rocks and gravel here. Then I … Continue reading

Version 8.0 starts today

Based upon the supposition we change out all of our cells every seven years, today I should be on my eighth round. We took it pretty easy by accident, I overslept. Then we took in the BrickFest (Lego convention) downtown. … Continue reading
