• A most notorious website

  December 14, 2024

  Given that nightmare I recently had, I think it is time to finally to present a serious critique of that notorious website I mentioned in my last entry. To continue to ignore it would be like writing extensively about roller coasters while making no mention of enthusiast clubs and fan sites for a...

• Yet another nightmare…

  December 14, 2024

  Last night I had another nightmare, one that was likely inspired by some things I did and saw the day before. It only takes a small trigger to generate a dream, whether good, bad or in between. My nightmare was concerning something I've had some really bad dreams about, but that which I had not&h...

• The magnificent obsession

  December 13, 2024

  In the course of what little down time I have these days, I have been exploring some of my interests online. Which makes such searching far easier to do these days then when I was growing up. I think back to when I was a child, and really about the only place where one could…

  November 24, 2024

  It has been just about two weeks since I undertook that awesome journey to revisit a location that has had much meaning to me, especially in my formative years. In the days since that trip I have been mulling it over in my mind. I've thought much about said location, as well as my initial…

• The shape of things to come?

  November 21, 2024

  Last night I was scanning my news feed on my phone and I saw a tantalizing link that really piqued my curiosity. I clicked on it but to my dismay I was unable to open the page and view it. However, I knew that I could do a search on my computer and hopefully come…
