friday 5: obligatory

play along here 1. In 2021, who made you laugh? My kid. He’s 20, and he developed a weird aspect to his sense of humor since the beginning of COVID. He has this voice he uses when he does bits, and that makes it even funnier. 2. What was a pleasant surprise? There haven’t been […]

friday 5: brainstorming

play along here 1. If you owned a new professional sports team (pick any sport!), what would you name it, and what be its team colors? I don’t even have to think about what sport. Hockey, hands down. And since this is purely for fun, I’m going to put my hockey team here in Hawai’i. […]

friday 5: are you prepositioning me

play along here 1. When did you recently do something on the sly? I’m always sly during the holiday season! It takes skill to be sneaky when surrounded by these guys, but I’ve honed my skills over the years. 2. Which of your plans for the coming week is still up in the air? I […]

friday 5: engine engine number 9

play along here 1. What are your primary considerations as you decide what to wear on a typical day? During hockey season… is it a New York Rangers game day, as it is today? Because if it is, it means wearing a Rangers shirt and/or hat, and my Henrik Lundqvist jersey during the actual game. […]

thursday 13: multilingual thingamajigs

In my previous life, I was a linguist in the US Army, Polish and Vietnamese. But I’ve always been a language nerd. Even now, I’m learning Swedish because, well, just because. So, yes, I nerd out for language things. Yesterday, I ran across a meme about nonsense words in different languages, which led me to […]

hell to the no

Sometimes I look at a person (literally and figuratively) and wonder just what the ever lovin’ fuck they are thinking. Today it was a figurative look. An unexpected friend request on Facebook waited for me this morning when I logged on. It was from someone I haven’t spoken to in over 12 years. It was […]

friday 5: the work of the child

play along here 1.What musical instruments have you played? I think I have a complex when it comes to music. My dad had perfect pitch, could play any instrument he put hands to. My mother was a voice major in college before deciding to be an English teacher. And my grandmother was a music teacher. […]

so it’s been a bit…

Yes, I sort of fell off the blogging wagon for a bit. Life got chaotic for awhile… work, writing, pain issues, and then an unexpected move on short notice with about five days to complete the move. The latter was super fun, I say sarcastically. It’s been a week and a half since we officially […]
