Posted on September 19, 2023September 19, 2023 by

I decided to complete my collection of Disney theme park maps by getting a classic Disneyland map from the original era.

Earlier this week, my beloved motor scooter Bella was stolen from my apartment building’s parking area. It was quite the shock, particularly since I had actually removed the battery to recharge it!

Posted on August 26, 2023August 26, 2023 by

I guess I’m a Blink now. On Tuesday I went to the sold-out BlackPink concert at Giants Stadium along with 30,000 other Blinks (BlackPink fans) of all ages. I was a little nervous since I was going basically alone (I had friends there, but in a different section of the stadium.) And I had some…

I was watching the latest musical episode of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, in which one of the principal characters, Nyota Uhura, considers what her role is on the starship Enterprise. It’s a banger of a number and the actress Celia Rose Gooding kills it. It hit me right in the feels, not only because…

Angry Driver in a Gigantic SUV

Posted on July 27, 2023July 27, 2023 by

Yesterday I’m headed to Golden Gate Park on my motor scooter, cruising up Pine Street in moderate traffic. I’m traveling in pace with the other cars around me, and maintaining a good amount of distance from cars around me, cause I’m not an idiot. I turn on to Masonic Boulevard and notice this in my…
