Whenever possible, have a back up. An alternate plan, alternate exit– mind you, these are more useful to spies and gun fighters but you can still apply the notion to every day life. I have a cell phone if my landline goes out and vice versa. I have a crappy AT&T back up internet inContinue reading “Always have a back up”

“Service Time of The Doctor!”
Doctor Who first came on the air back in 1963 and the show’s gone through a lot of lead actors, producers, script editors, you name it. It’s even changed direction more than a few times, along with the length of episodes. Of all the actors to play the Doctor over the decades, many of themContinue reading ““Service Time of The Doctor!””
The Kris Bryant situation
Sorry, I didn’t want to crowd this much baseball into such a short span of time… but all of baseball has been crammed into a short span of time. So, with the wacky, wild, extended playoffs where *everybody gets in–weeeeee* is about to start, I gotta talk about Bryant. The guy is a mess rightContinue reading “The Kris Bryant situation”
Call it a Rubber Match
Stretchable heroes. Good guys whose main super ability is that of stretching. There have been a number of these characters over the decades and stretching has been –to varying degrees–integral to the character. But credit to the various comic companies for giving us a twist in each case to differentiate the characters. Stretching, by andContinue reading “Call it a Rubber Match”
Down the YouTubes – part two
Another area of humanity that’s really letting down the side is all the hate culture on YouTube. You name a nerd culture show or franchise and YouTube has got hundreds of channels with videos to help you realize how horrible they are. Why they now suck and who ruined them and how. Let’s take anContinue reading “Down the YouTubes – part two”
Down the YouTubes – part one
When is posting up out and out BS click-bait titles for videos going to become a crime punishable by having your YouTube account taken away? I’m a huge fan of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and superhero tv shows in general. Almost every day, I see some AMAZING ANNOUNCEMENT or BREAKING NEWS or CONFIRMATION or THEContinue reading “Down the YouTubes – part one”
Do I want a pet?
No, I do not. That seems a bit thin for a blog if I stop there, so I’ll expand. Pets are more trouble than they’re worth– to me. Don’t get me wrong– a lot of pets are loving, lovely and adorable. I guess maybe I think about pets the way some people think about kids.Continue reading “Do I want a pet?”
What SHOULD you do after hitting a homer?
In baseball, one of the big, hot button topics between old school and new era players and fans is what a guy does immediately after hitting a homer. Because what you do in those first couple seconds says plenty. Old school dogma says don’t stand there preening like an arrogant young pup just staring atContinue reading “What SHOULD you do after hitting a homer?”
Who would YOU choose?
Say you’re marooned in some hostile environment. Perhaps an alien planet, a dangerous jungle teeming with giant carnivores or who knows what? You might face a bear, a giant spider or roving bands of thugs/revolutionaries/mutants/curious slugs. Or a Myrka! Unless you think you can face your situation alone and come out triumphant, you have oneContinue reading “Who would YOU choose?”
TV slow binge- Maverick
Talking about the always entertaining James Garner, you are doing yourself a disservice if you don’t check out his very first tv show at some point: Maverick. Running from 1957 to 1962, Garner plays Bret Maverick, a professional card player in the late 1800’s wild west, who quite often manages to find trouble as oftenContinue reading “TV slow binge- Maverick”
