  • Morning Coffee: The Casual Chatter

    Morning Coffee: The Casual Chatter

    You know those commercials about new homeowners becoming their parents? I hate that they’re based on truths. I find them hilarious, but the premise is terrifying. One behavior I am miles from adopting, however, is the casual chat with a stranger.

  • Morning Coffee: The Broadcast Movie Trap

    Morning Coffee: The Broadcast Movie Trap

    Have you ever been channel surfing and come across a movie you enjoy, so you start watching it and sitting through the commercials despite having a copy you can watch from the beginning uninterrupted? This affliction has impacted me, many times.

  • Morning Coffee: What the Child Sees

    Morning Coffee: What the Child Sees

    Have you ever seen a dog staring, growling, or barking at seemingly nothing? It’s unsettling when you think how they can see and sense what we cannot. What’s lurking in the shadowy corners and just beyond what the light touches? We’re probably better off not knowing; ignorance is bliss. But, what if your 1-year old…

  • Morning Coffee: Truck Stuff

    Morning Coffee: Truck Stuff

    I like my truck, but it spends most of its time in chauffeur mode. I wnat to do more truck stuff but need to figure out just what that is.

    Of Mice and Two Men

    Two men who have spent too much time with one another get a visitor, upending their world.

    Backlog BBQ: A Plague Tale: Innocence

    A Plague Tale: Innocence has been on my list to play since it released in 2019. Well, it’s 2026 and I finally decided now is the time to play, and I am glad I did.

  • Morning Coffee: Sunrise to Sunset

    Morning Coffee: Sunrise to Sunset

    While I don’t live in a scenic locale providing stunning vistas, I am fortunate to have a pretty good sight line to the east and west horizons, so that means I get the sun blasting me awake in the morning and blinding me in the afternoon. That’s annoying, sure, but it also means I could…

  • Morning Coffee: It’s Never Driving Season

    Morning Coffee: It’s Never Driving Season

    I enjoy the act of driving and a good ol’ road trip. Unfortunately, I live in an area that experiences all four seasons. This means that, in reality, there are only two seasons that matter: winter roads and road construction.

  • Morning Coffee: The Laser-Filled, Burning World of CDs

    Morning Coffee: The Laser-Filled, Burning World of CDs

    Do you remember the heyday of CDs, when Sam Goody existed and Best Buy was a cornucopia of entertainment? I remember, and that’s probably why my knees hurt and I grunt when bending over. Those shiny platters provided escape to an ethereal plane where the noise, distractions, and grit of the real world could not…

  • Morning Coffee: Assembly Required

    Morning Coffee: Assembly Required

    Shout out to all the dads of past, present, and future who get hit with the “Assembly Required” message on a toy or anything else. I just spent roughly two hours assembling a Little Tikes coupe for my daughter. Is this where all fatherhood and marriage leads: an un-handyman forced into handyman situations?
