Halloween… Yay!
ByGenXBratHalloween is absolutely my MOST favorite holiday of the entire year! I’ve loved it for as far back as I can remember.
As a kid, it meant at least one day of no homework so that we could dress up in really cool costumes, and get ready the school parade where parents were going to come watch us walk around the schoolyard. And it meant that my mom was going to get a few hours off work to come be my room mom and hand out treats to my friends! …
Hummingbirds – Like Big Bees but More Fun!
ByGenXBratWe’ve got hummingbirds! You know, those tiny little birds that flap their wings at a million miles a second. Ok, so maybe that’s an exaggeration.

ByGenXBratHey there… I’m an ex-computer programmer turned truck driver. I know enough about how software actually works to understand that programs only run as well as the people who wrote them — and people are fallible. So no, I don’t want an AI at the wheel of an 80,000-pound rig hauling fuel down a highway…
No More Stinky Dish Cloths!!
ByGenXBratI finally got a chance to talk to my girlfriend last week and we got talking about dishes and how they suck… Not because we like talking dishes, but because my usual multitasking self was in the middle of washing mine while we were talking.
