It’s hard to imagine anything more touristy and stereotypical than visiting a leprechaun museum in Dublin. I expected a gift shop (and was right) but what I hadn’t expected was a fun hour-long storytelling adventure that led us through the folklore and magical mythology that is embedded in Ireland’s history.
We were lucky enough to have Naoise (“Nisha”) O’Duinn, the… read entire post
After what seems like a month (but in reality was only a week), Susan and I are home from our trip to Ireland the the UK! We saw and did so many neat things over the last week, from watching the sun rise at Stonehenge to watching it set from the balcony of a castle. We flew thousands of miles,… read entire post
I’ve reached the end of another successful anniversary/birthday week. Not even a stretch of 100+ degree days could prevent us from celebrating. It just prevented us from celebrating outdoors — for the most part, anyway.
For our 31st wedding anniversary we decided to keep things low key and opted for dinner at Mama Roja’s, near Lake Hefner. We had a… read entire post
Last week my friend Aaron, co-host of the Amigos Podcast for Amiga computers, drove to Oklahoma with his son Luke to visit and hang out for a few days. Prior to their arrival, Susan and I began brainstorming different places we wanted to show them along with restaurants we wanted to eat at. As the list continued to grow, I… read entire post
In case you missed my post from a couple of weeks ago, I’ve been experiencing “digestive distress” for nearly a month now. “Digestive distress” is a polite way to say “stomach cramping and explosive diarrhea.” When I first began experiencing symptoms on July 19 Susan and I thought it might have been food poisoning from a local sushi bar, but… read entire post
Throughout the years I’ve collected some pretty wacky Star Wars related items, one of which was Jar Jar Binks tongue, in candy form.
Shortly after the release of Star Wars in 1977 Kenner began producing toys based on the film, and it didn’t take them long for them to release they were literally printing money. If they made action figures,… read entire post
“Eat your vegetables,” they said. “Salad is good for you,” they said. These are the things I think about while sitting on the toilet. And over the past couple of days, I’ve had lots of time to think.
Last Sunday, Susan and I had lunch at one of our favorite local sushi spots. Instead of my normal sushi I decided… read entire post
Last weekend marked the fifth annual meeting of the International Retro Computer Expo (formerly BoatFest) in Hurricane, West Virginia. For the fifth summer in a row I drove 1,000 miles from Oklahoma City to Hurricane to attend the event.
Officially the event took place July 10-11, although the organizers got access to the building on Thursday which allowed people to… read entire post
I haven’t had much luck with dentists in my life. I didn’t visit the dentist often as a kid and had a couple o relatively unpleasant experiences as a young adult that I just decided to quit going. The last time I went to an actual dentist was, as we jokingly say, “in the 1900s.” This led to one of… read entire post
After going 8-0 and sweeping the Phoenix Suns and the Los Angeles Lakers in the first two rounds of the playoffs, the Oklahoma City Thunder hit a wall in the Western Conference Finals; specifically, a 7’5″ wall named Victor “Wemby” Wembanyama.
Despite barely edging out the Spurs for the top seed in the Western Conference, the Thunder had a 1-4… read entire post
