Finding a completely empty sketchbook and finally putting some things in it has already turned out to be super rewarding. Listening to some music and drawing was so relaxing today!

The Last of the Mohicans
I don't think it's a stretch to say that Michael Mann is best known for his film Heat. That movie is a certified classic and worthy of its own post at a later date after I give it another re-watch. But recently, I watched a different, slightly earlier Michael Mann movie once again, and while …
Black Sails
Black Sails was a series originally on Starz, a premium network in the same vein as HBO. While the rest of us were busy over there watching Game of Thrones at what was arguably the height of its popularity, Black Sails premiered as one of many competitors. This was the 2010s, the decade that many …

Just Pantry January: The February Update
As I detailed in my last post, Just Pantry January is an idea we had to curb our spending and go through our, well, pantry, fridge, and freezer to eat and drink the items we already have. Now that January is over, I'm back to share some of the results! I suppose said results might …
Just Pantry January: The Explanation
Happy 2025, everybody! I hope the first few weeks have treated you well so far. A fun way we decided to kick off the new year is not with Dry January, Whole30, or any other challenges or resolutions. Sure, we could stand to cut more alcohol and sugar out of our diets, but we'll maybe …
Short Summary – Red Dead Redemption 2
Short Summary is an original series in which I write brief reviews of movies, TV shows, video games, books, and more. Spoiler alert, just in case! The urge to go and play Red Dead Redemption 2 some more instead of writing this review about it should hopefully speak volumes. But that wouldn't be doing the …
Getting Back to Books, Period, Doesn’t Matter How
I wrote a post earlier this year about books that I'd like to read, and now that we're at the end of this year, I'm here to report that I have read very little of The Apollo Murders and The Haunted Abbot and none of The Midnight Library. I even downloaded the Kindle version of …

I’m Back!
I forgot to mention: not only did I travel for most of August, I even had a wedding to travel for a couple of weeks ago. So, this time for sure, I really am back! I'll start from to the beginning. We did indeed do the 10-hour drive up to Glacier National Park and headed …
I’m Traveling for the Next Three Weeks!
Three trips in the next three weeks or so! August got really busy in a hurry! First, it's a road trip to Glacier National Park in Montana for camping and hiking, with a little jaunt over the U.S.-Canadian border for fun. Once we're back from that, the very next day, my kids and I fly …
