As the days become shorter I find myself listening to music that can be described as the soundtrack of my childhood. It’s warm and comforting. This week I listened to Carole King’s Tapestry album. I’ve heard many of the songs…
Friday Movie Night, part II
We are still watching movies on Friday nights with friends. A few of them collaborated to build a bot on our Discord server that allows us to nominate movies, and on Friday afternoon, it creates a poll with 3 random…
Show Us Your Books – October 2020
I miss commuting to my job in the city for many reasons, but one of them is the enforced reading time. My commute consisted of a 26 minute train ride, and a 15 minute shuttle ride in the morning, and…
My new planner
My planner journey has taken me through every fad imaginable. I had a Palm Pilot back in the day and I loved it. In 2016 and 2017 I went down the washi-tape-lined path of paper planners. In 2018-2019 I barely…
Popcorn, Please!
I have created not one, but two popcorn-loving monsters. This is my view while carrying a bowl of freshly-popped popcorn to my desk. Ollie’s vision is not good, but his nose knows exactly where the bowl is. Because this is…

This beat cha-ching like money
It should come as no surprise to ANYBODY who has known me for even the slightest bit that I love me some boy bands. Always have, always will. If you haven’t heard of BTS before, they are a K-Pop band…
State of the Wardrobe
My wardrobe has two distinctly different styles: WORK (biz casual, blazers, fancy sweaters, dresses, jeans), or SLOB (fleece, elastic, hoods). Now that I’m working from home until at least January I’m trying to upgrade SLOB to include comfortable clothing that…
Pouring one out for RBG
On Friday night, we learned of the passing of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. She’s best known for being a liberal justice, but she was also a hell of a trailblazer. She was only one of 9 people in…
