With my new job which I am still struggling mightily to accept, I feel like I bought a house that a realtor is convincing me is the right one for me. There’s something lacking with the house or the realtor knows there’s probably better fits on the market but they are determined to make this…

A Win is a Win
The Eagles have not looked as sharp as earlier in the season but they are still winning games. Unlike hockey and soccer, a win is a win no matter what the score is. There aren’t extra points for beating a team by three touchdowns versus one. Here’s one of my weird sport analogies again. It’s…
Not the Usual Thanksgiving
Before Covid we would have a big family gathering with one side of the family every Thanksgiving. I thought this would happen this year finally but as the date got closer I realized I hadn’t heard anything and I better figure out something for us to do. That meant figure out food to take out…
