I bought one of those self-watering raised beds over at Lowe’s earlier this summer and planted some peas and radishes in it. To my dismay, the peas were pilfered by a gang of morning doves and the radishes succumbed to the heat of summer, so there was no joy in the raised bed. With autumn … Read More
The Big Thanksgiving Blowout Spectacular Week is ended and thus begins the most wonderful time of the year. It was my favorite when I was a kid for obvious reasons. My anticipation for Christmas Eve between the ages of 7 and 10 was off the charts. I even created a countdown calendar one year that … Read More
The week prior to Thanksgiving can be a doozy, especially for work.

And so ends another season of baseball. 162 games scheduled and 162 games played. Collectively, 2,430 games were played this season. I mentioned in a previous post that baseball was the game of my youth. I collected cards, memorized stats, went to games, and even played some myself. But in 1994, I fell out of … Read More
First Part is Here: Dual Scoot Boogie Part One With Linux Mint selected as the distro, now came the interesting part – the logistics of getting it done.

Microsoft quickly paused the rollout to make … Read More
