A Spider-man Birthday Card

Birthdays are interesting the older we get.  For many it turns from the anticipation of gifts and toys and cake to another day where we are reminded we have made another orbit around the sun.  Adulthood often robs us of some of the simplicity and joy that childhood often brought us.  ABDLs have an interesting … Continue reading A Spider-man Birthday Card

Feeling little when I need to be big

I feel like I have a pretty good hold of my emotions, most of the time.  Perhaps I’m deceiving myself, but that’s a conversation for later or farther down on this post.

Revisiting “two lives” with Ted Lasso

It is hard to not enjoy the wholesome goodness that is Ted Lasso. I could definitely do without the language, but I have enjoyed the storytelling and altruistic approach to life that Ted Lasso has. Late in the first season it humanized the main character in a way that let you know that while he … Continue reading Revisiting “two lives” with Ted Lasso
