The Latch Hook Covered Bridge project as of February 10, 2025

No, I didn’t watch the Super Bowl yesterday. I have no desire to watch Kansas City. And I have even less desire to watch Philadelphia. And even with all that, I have absolutely ZERO desire to see that orange turd soak up all the attention at the game. Could I watch the game for the…

If you’re ordering Girl Scout Cookies this year … may I recommend ordering from …

Yep, it’s that time once again. That time when you receive messages from your cousins and your co-workers and your FB friends who barely remember you on your birthday.

Am I ready for Fantastic Four: First Steps??

Don’t drive in this weather like a headless horseman.

Long-time readers of my blog will note that I refer to “The Twelve,” a series of elementary and secondary schools I attended from kindergarten to high school graduation.

“Groundhog Day” on the Royale With Cheese Movie Club

The “Royale With Cheese Movie Club” is a section of my blog where I finally get around to watching films that EVERYBODY IN THE WORLD has already seen. The category was named after the classic dialogue in Pulp Fiction, where Vinnie and Jules talk about what Quarter Pounders with Cheese are called in France. Now…
