    I spend so much of my life railing against “screen time” and encouraging others (and myself!) to get out and actually do things in life. Like, for real. “IRL” as the kids say. There’s nothing like seeing sporting events live … Continue reading →

    Actually, I thought it was Super

    I’d say “all week long” but really it’s been more like six months that my friends on the political right have had one conniption fit after another regarding the Super Bowl halftime performance of the artist known as “Bad Bunny.” … Continue reading →

    Today on Math and Musings it’s Snow Day #2, and my son and I are discussing the upcoming Winter Olympics. Upcoming. Like today. In a few hours. So yeah, let’s blow through these couple hours of school (still an annoying … Continue reading →

    Two-hour-delay week

    Last week when my local school district called five snow days in a row I thought it was possibly the most foolish decision I’d ever witnessed. Scratch possibly, but not because I think it’s moved up to number one. It’s definitely not … Continue reading →

    I don’t see a shadow, just corporate greed

    As the guy who literally wrote the book on dates and movies, I should note that today is Groundhog Day and there’s an obvious choice for what movie one should watch. In the streaming era this should be easy, right? … Continue reading →

    We’ve come full circle on snow days this week, literally, as Snow Day #5 today completes the full-week cycle of school cancellations. Not to look a gift horse in the mouth, but yeah, it’s now beyond the tipping point, no … Continue reading →

    Snow Day number three in a row today for Loudoun County Public Schools. Have we reached the tipping point where it’s now too much of a good thing? Not yet.

    Snow day today ’round these parts, leaving me ample time to think of things perhaps unrelated to my employment but enjoyable nonetheless. For example, I like to make lists. I’m list guy. I especially like to make lists by months. … Continue reading →

    Reply

    Today on Math and Musings Franklin and I discuss our recent trip to Medieval Times. The dining reenactment, not actual time travel. For once it was my son’s suggestion, not my own, to head here, and like his dad is wont … Continue reading →

    New governor, same tired jabs

    Reply

    Talk about the Commonwealth the past few days has concerned the sartorial choices of our new governor, Abigail Spanberger. Spanberger is the first female to hold the position of Virginia governor, and apparently the first(?) not to wear something called … Continue reading →
