Deep Thoughts

Hello, Sunday. What a week. What another freaking exhausting week. Well done so far, 2021. I, like a lot of you, were frozen to my TV on Wednesday, much in the same way as we did on that day back in 2001.  Thursday was equally…

Hello, Sunday. Hello, 2021! I hope you enjoyed your weekend and are ready to face all that the new year holds for us. What is that? I don’t know! None of us do, which is why my word for this year is SURPRISE. Rather than…

Hello, Sunday. Is it Sunday? These long weekends throw time into a warp, moreso than 2020 already seemingly has. Holiday at our house was actually not much different than it would have been any other year. We were meant to be at home anyway, having…

Hello, Sunday. Damn, it’s Christmas week and aren’t I ready for it? Sure, I have work. Sure, we’re staying home. Sure, we’re adults and Christmas Day is just a little less magical. Still, I’m READY. And all my gifts have arrived! Huzzah! Yesterday my internet…

Hello, Sunday. It’s a good day. Yesterday was a good day. Now, it’s time to keep fighting the good fight. You know, Covid is still a very big thing, so go ahead and put up those Christmas decorations and bust out the Michael Buble. I’m…

Hello, Sunday. Hello, NOVEMBER!  Dear God, finally. Not that November really carries with it any true milestones, but it means that we’re kinda-sorta almost going to be over the election (or at least the ads) and are finally in a position to really count down…

Hello, Sunday. It seems like we are so close, but still SO far from getting back some semblance of normal. We are counting down in days, not weeks, until at least the official, if not final end to the election season which has seemed to…
