Music Monday: Blogging Leads to Real-World Experience
Two weeks ago I wrote a blog post about The Hu, a Mongolian folk metal band formed in 2016. I had never heard of the group until three days before I wrote the post, but thanks to a comment from Clive at Take It Easy, I gave a listen to their music, and I liked … Continue reading Music Monday: Blogging Leads to Real-World Experience
Throwback Thursday: Not All Heroes Live to Tell About It
It's ten minutes before midnight, and I want to post something today, but I couldn't think of anything at the last minute. So I went back to my first September 15 post, back in 2015. It's a sad story: Thomas Cottingham, 27, of Wilmington, Delaware died Monday night while protecting a woman and her baby … Continue reading Throwback Thursday: Not All Heroes Live to Tell About It
Forget Dine and Dash, Now There’s Splash and Dash
The above photo is from a polar bear plunge close to Charleston, SC. These events are usually referred to as a polar bear plunge, but I have also heard it referred to as a splash and dash.

Is This What a Dine and Dash Crime Scene Looks Like?
The photo above is one I took as I was leaving my building today, Friday afternoon. I'd like to give the benefit of doubt to whoever had been sitting there; maybe they had just stepped away to use the restroom. After all, someone who reads the Wall Street Journal wouldn't just leave a mess like … Continue reading Is This What a Dine and Dash Crime Scene Looks Like?
Is It Just Me, Or Do You Also Think This Is Disgusting and Inappropriate?
This past weekend my wife, son, and I went out to dinner in the wonderful small town of West Chester, PA. The town is the county seat, and in addition is home to a large state university, West Chester University (one of our swimming archrivals when I was in college).

For those of you who were excited to read this post because you thought it was about a classic Beatles song, I am sorry to disappoint you.

Throwback Tuesday (Or, Me Being Lazy)
The following post was originally published on January 7, 2017. More than five years later, it has no likes, and only four comments, two of which are mine. Despite those anemic numbers, it has always been one of my favorite posts. I told myself that if I ever started reblogging some of my previous posts, … Continue reading Throwback Tuesday (Or, Me Being Lazy)
