I am actually sitting on my apartment building's front porch, watching runners and walkers for the "University of Louisville 10-Miler" road race go by. It's nice to get some fresh air on occasion! Well, what is new in my life since my last post? I applied for, and got accepted to, a Graduate Certificate program … Continue reading Changes Are Afoot
Wrap-Up of 2025
There are a little over 2 days left in 2025 (now, after some delays, 2 days into 2026). The temperature has dropped 50+ degrees (no joke - it was 74 degrees F on Sunday afternoon; it is currently 23 degrees F on Monday night), Christmas gifts have been exchanged and opened, and I have a … Continue reading Wrap-Up of 2025

Spooky Movie Month, Pt. 3: October 11-21
The 2nd batch of horror movies that I've watched in October; these are movies that I've either never seen before or have only watched once: October 11th: "Altered States" (1980). Oh, this movie went deeeep into the 'weird' side of the Horror spectrum. A psychologist starts experimenting with the human consciousness... and Central American herbs. … Continue reading Spooky Movie Month, Pt. 3: October 11-21
Spooky Movie Month, Pt. 2: October 1-10
In this post, I talked about movies that I might watch during October. Here are the first batch of movies (with few, if any, spoilers): October 1st: "Deadtime Stories" (1986). A more-than-normally-perverted guy is trying to watch 'adult material', when his nephew (upstairs) calls for him to tell him a bedtime story. The uncle tells … Continue reading Spooky Movie Month, Pt. 2: October 1-10

DAY Walk: Is the ‘Season of Discontent’ Over?
As we are in a 'slowish' period at my main job, I'll take a mental stroll in the daylight. Weird, I know. Vacation realistically started on 7/29, 2:30 PM, when I got off of work. The 29th was also my birthday. My birthday, plus the next 12 days, were pretty low-key, for the most part. … Continue reading DAY Walk: Is the ‘Season of Discontent’ Over?
‘Night Walks’: Some Odds and Ends
I have been on a "Boom Bap" music kick, lately. YouTube has at least 9 volumes of music entitled "Return of the Boom Bap". It's simple beats with drums and cymbals (usually on a drum machine), with samples from other, older songs. These tracks are mostly instrumentals, with a late-1990s/early-2000s vibe. I've had them playing … Continue reading ‘Night Walks’: Some Odds and Ends
First Half of 2025
Yeesh! That's the best way that I can describe the vast majority of the first half of 2025. Starting with the health, I got some good news about my a1c and blood sugar. The a1c had dropped from 10.9 in November to 6.4 in April, while the blood sugar had dropped from around 250 to … Continue reading First Half of 2025
