Wicked
Yes, I said it. And I'm happy now. I hope you're happy, my friend. I happened to be in Toronto this past summer on a short getaway and had a free night. One ticket was left, well one I saw open anyway, so I snagged it.

Ray of Light
Not my favorite Madonna song, but Like a Prayer as a title for this post is a crucifix too hot for this atheist to hold. So... Wine... There's a great wide gaping chasm of darkness and shit coming our way in the next 4 years that totally fucks

The Funeral
On a more personal note, we are again at Day 0 of "Days Without A School Shooting" in the US. I have many, many thoughts on the latest murders in Tennessee . First, my youngest is the same grade as the Sandy Hook victims. This means that her entire
My unlikely journey
No way am I going another month before posting my thoughts on this past week. Hoooooly hell is this an amazing time to be alive. Let me take you back a few years (pre-COVID times). It was June 2019, the biggest issue at that time was keeping the kids busy
