This year, I’m determined to get a good crop of pumpkins. Meet Monster, Oscar, Imposter, and Carl my pumpkin boxes protecting the seedlings from rabbits and other critters. I haven’t had great luck growing pumpkins in my yard due to all the great trees, so this year I asked my neighbor if I could utilize […]
I traded in a morning commute for a morning walk.
When the pandemic started, I was excited to be working from home. One thing I soon realized however is that I didn’t move very much. Walking from the parking lot to the office, and then around the office at work, added up. Not a lot of steps, but way more than I was getting when […]

Anna and the Apocalypse – A bizarre, comedy, horror, musical.
If you’re looking for a movie that has it all, Anna and the Apocalypse might just be that movie. I’m not sure what genre Anna and the Apocalypse falls under but it’s a horror-comedy musical.

Smart plugs are pretty cheap as long as you want them to work with Google or Alexa. HomeKit on the other hand requires more expensive smart plugs.
