The Thanksgiving holiday has come and gone. I never know what I am to this time of year. Not having a significant other, kids, or close friends means way too much time to myself. I have seen every movie playing in the theater which has remotely caught my interest. Maybe next year it will be a better time.
Thanks to the winds lately, the pool

It was full Veteran's Day for me. I started out going to the cemetery to put some flowers on my father's headstone. The National Cemetery gets busy every year with festivities, so I had to beat the rush.
After the cemetery, I took my nephew to an early show to see Wakanda Forever. It was long, and I have mixed feelings about the movie. This

This first week of November has been full enough. On the first of the month I went to a book signing with Jemele Hill, the former ESPN anchor and current columnist with The Atlantic. She is most widely known for calling Trump a white supremacist and having him rant about it.
I spent almost each night this week at the movie theater. Notably, I watched

Last night I forced to make lemons into lemonade. The plan was to go to Lucha Vavoom with some people from work. They had their tickets and I had mine, so it seemed legit. One of them pulled out by saying she was sick, so she and her boyfriend didn't go. The other one pulled out once the first one did. That left me to

I spent some solo time at the beach over the weekend. Time to myself always leaves me in a pensive mood. I am forced to keep my own consel, but sometimes being there helps me find a sharper focus.
The morning walk along the sand was a rare one for me. Sitting and listening to the waves is usually more my thing. I am certain

The playoffs for the Los Angeles Dodgers are in full swing. Last night was my first playoff game this season. It was a close one the the San Diego Padres winning 5-3. The LA cool vibe completely goes away in the playoffs and the fans really get into the game.
The Dodgers aren't my favorite team, but they are the local team. I hope they

Yesterday was a free day for me. My morning unexpectedly turned into a drive along Pacific Coast Highway. I originally set out to grab some breakfast from around the corner, but I decided to keep driving since I was already out. I drove through the San Fernando Valley up to Ventura and came back into LA through Malibu. It was good get my mind off...

Last night was the second Black Keys show of my back-to-back shows. The baseball game beforehand did not go to plan, as my Mets had their season ended. The show was a good was to start to wash the game away. Fun performance. The show was a few minutes shorter than night before due to earlier curfew at the venue. The crowd got into it...

Last night was the first time seeing The Black Keys since the beginning of the pandemic ended their tour in 2020. It was a fun night out with my old partner from work and his wife. He had grudgingly became a fan of the band over the years, and it was his first time seeing them.
A Band of Horses was the primary support band.

Now we are offically into fall, so that means my baseball season is nearing it's conclusion. I went to what might be my last regular season game for this year at Dodger Stadium. The St. Louis Cardinals were in town. I went with one of my friends, but he is a lot. He wouldn't keep quiet or still for more than about 30 seconds. The...
