Karaoke Party
My last mention of my work husband Tim was back in 2011, when I moaned that he was leaving TeddyJ for another job. Well evidently, you never can truly leave TeddyJ, because he returned to the fold last year. He's... Continue reading

The Buffet
There's a forty-year-old tree in front of our house. The limbs scrape the roof of my car when I back out of the garage. We haven’t bothered to prune it the last few years. I began to notice a few... Continue reading

Neurologist visit
I visited the neurologist this week and had some questions answered that came up last time. Brain shadows: Just a lesion that’s being re-myelinated. (MS eats your nerve insulation, which is called myelin, so remyelination is when your myelin grows... Continue reading

Review: Judy
We went to see Judy last weekend. I can certainly see why Liza Minnelli disavowed it. It’s sympathetic to the causes of Judy Garland’s addiction but pretty harsh about the results. Of course, I had to come back home and... Continue reading

Colors
Why do people choose pastels for nurseries? Life begins at its most intense. Every moment of a baby’s life is fear and hunger and screaming, except when they sleep, and I understand that isn’t often. Nurseries should be painted in... Continue reading

Liquor Laws
I always thought that the liquor laws in Missouri were very strict. I believe this was because young kids could drive twenty minutes over on the border into Illinois and buy liquor. It seemed there were lots of liquor laws:... Continue reading

New Term
I was at work and invited someone to pedeconference. This person was too young to have watched The West Wing and wasn’t familiar with the term. They were familiar with “walk and talk,” though. Later that day, I had a... Continue reading

Gary's Magical Migraine Thinking
Gary has spent almost eight years now with his chronic persistent migraine. The pain has lessened since the horror of his initial episode. He's taking extra epilepsy medication now for the headaches, so his epilepsy symptoms have backed off as... Continue reading

Tech
Gary loves to buy technology, and I hope his interest in technology continues into his old age. I suppose the Internet will keep us up to date when there are technological advances, just like the newspaper did in the past.... Continue reading

Movie Review: Downton Abbey (with sub-plot spoilers)
The movie was much like the series, with a greater variety of establishing shots of Highclere Castle. Highclere at night. Highclere seen from the town. Highclere from a drone. There were a few differences. Butler Barrow has forgotten about the... Continue reading

I took my time getting there, but now I've joined the crowd of ghouls watching Mindhunter on Netflix. Once you get to episode 3 it's a fascinating story of how the FBI created profiles of serial killers (initially called lust... Continue reading

Review: Ad Astra (mild spoilers!)
"Why do you want to see Ad Astra," Gary asked. "What's it about?" "Spaaaaaaaaaaace," I intoned. What more do you need? Well, I think you all know I need a plot. There was a plot, only it was my least... Continue reading

I am aging out of the Emmys. Who on earth is Ladybug? Who are these giant cartoon characters? Are children the Emmys demographic now? I saw them at the end of the red carpet show. I only saw the end,... Continue reading

Strike
The recent United Auto Worker's strike against General Motors reminded me of my strike experience at the Chrysler plant south of Saint Louis, where I worked in the 1980s. I wasn't on the line. I worked for a third party... Continue reading
