My toenail fell off last week. Gross, I know; sorry about that. It was far less gross than it sounds, though, and more than anything was confusing. It's pretty common among runners to talk about gross black toenails falling out after a grueling run, but that's never been a problem for me. I am a... Continue Reading →
I don't understand how the internet works. I mean, I know the basics, having more or less grown up with it, and I often provide technical support for my parents, although it seems with each update, I can help less and less. I know still less about how the ones and zeros actually combine with... Continue Reading →
I've been in this battle with the oven for a while now. Well, I guess I'm not in a battle with the oven, but I'm battling over the oven, which I really liked until the nonstick coating inside decided it was so nonstick that it wasn't going to stick to the oven and started flaking...

The YMCA where I work out offers a a variety of fitness classes, none of which have I ever tried for a variety of reasons, but mostly because I like to exercise around as few people as possible.

I'm open to suggestions, especially if they reference a particular day of the week so I can save such stories for... Continue Reading →
Since you're reading this, I feel I'm safe in assuming that you're at least a somewhat regular consumer of the Internet. As such, you've probably encountered at least a couple listicles featuring examples of a specific type of false memory known as the Mandela Effect. Just in case you've missed the internet's fascination with it,... Continue Reading →
Kalen left for work after lunch and I watched out the window for a few more minutes, thinking about how the bees were a much more compelling blog topic than the New Year roundup I had planned. I knew I would never get any good pictures from my living room, though, between Pippin's nose art... Continue Reading →
Happy New Year, friends! For my first post of the year, and against my better judgment, it looks like I'll be keeping it mild and mundane with a totes basic New Year reflection type post. Just the standard "Wow, what a year! Doesn't '2023' sound so futuristic? What did I accomplish? What are my resolutions?"... Continue Reading →
