May 2022 Update
I’m working my way through the Point Lookout DLC for FALLOUT 3, which seems to be inspired by movies like Deliverance (1972) and Wrong Turn (2003), and possibly others but I wouldn’t know because I don’t watch horror movies! … Continue reading
Give me your tired, your poor
I received this email from NC Senator Thom Tillis on April 25, 2022. I’m no armchair pundit nor am I interested in arguing politics. But this one really got under my skin. He is not, in fact, being “clear” when … Continue reading

Happy St Patrick’s Day 2022
I’ll be spending March 17 eating some Kerrygold butter on something (sadly not Irish soda bread due to my issues with gluten) and chowing down on my favorite Dubliner cheese, while my husband enjoys Smithwick’s or maybe some Tullamore Dew. … Continue reading

Chicago cemetery circa 1998
