Elderly Programmer A research project wants programmers over 35 to come forward. The premise lands a little too close to home. Ha ha ha ugh.
Visiting the In-Laws; Seashells Things I value in a bathroom: counter space. Things I do not require in a bathroom: bowls of seashells.
Space Force Tries So Hard and I Want to Like It Space Force is well done, well acted, a top-notch production, and the vanilla of ice creams: no one hates it, but if a good flavor is available, vanilla stays in the freezer. The Grinder, on a tenth the budget, was the chocolate, until a therapist character ruined it.
Pineapple Upside Down Cake I'm trying to find the polite way to inform the in-laws that this isn't actually a step in making pineapple upside down cake.
You're Running a Race (a riddle of sorts) A riddle for your friends: you're running a race and you pass the person in 2nd place. What place are you in now? Every single person in my family has answered this incorrectly.
One Time, Long Ago…Cheez-It After a 70-mile bike ride I rewarded myself with a box of Cheez-Its from Walmart. Soon my lips puffed up like a bee sting. I wrote it off, until it happened again.
