A quick note, To the person who told me I’d end up in jail. To the person who told me I’d always be a loser. To the person who held a shotgun to my head. To the person who told me I was irredeemably selfish. To the person who told me that I would just […]
Title courtesy of George W. Bush’s reaction to Trump’s inaugural address four years ago. Political post. Surf on by if you’re not interested. To preface, I am not a member of a political party. I don’t feel either party represents me, and I don’t identify as one or the other. I think the world would […]
2020: the longest year. A year to remember, though we’d probably rather not. There was a time when we thought 2016 was a comically (tragically?) bad year. That seems like a lifetime ago. Things have gotten progressively worse and more stupid since then. Probably the defining feature of 2020 has been the COVID-19 pandemic. As […]
Thoughts on the passing of a decade. I began 2010 single, in debt, and unsure if I’d still be employed in a couple of months. Half of my stuff was in boxes as I prepared to move, hopefully to Denver. As 2010 progressed my client renewed their contract, giving me some job security for a […]
I’ve always thought of musical theatre as being a bit ridiculous. “Need to explain something or resolve some plot element? I know what we’ll do!

Another year in the books. Like last year it’s been a mixed bag where things have been great (knock on wood) on a personal level while the world continues to get dumber. I’d wish for a better 2019 but I suspect things will get worse before they get better. The major downside was losing my […]
I’m approaching one of those big milestone birthdays that serves as a moment of reflection. There are some things about getting older that suck, but overall I highly recommend it and I hope to continue aging for a good long while (knock on wood). As I get older, I get more leeway to sit and […]
There was a time in my life that I thought about killing myself. Don’t go calling 911, it was a long time ago. I haven’t felt that way since I was about 12-14 years old, but it was there. I’m glad we didn’t have a gun in the house at the time, because one of […]
B.B. King passed away last night. As I’ve mentioned before, I have seen literally hundreds. B.B. King was one of the ones I got to see a couple of times, and I have never seen a more gracious performer
We had plans for this year. They never happened…
