The prevailing winds from “Kid’s Entertainment” smell more and more like a train of greasy street food trucks rather than a field of lavender, unfortunately. I break it down as the parent of a 3-year-old.
Fake Service Dogs
Anyone who knows me or any member of my family knows we’re lovers of dogs. Actually, most of my family are lovers of animals. (Not literally; in a platonic sense.) I’m a HUGE proponent of animal adoption, the ASPCA, and hate the number of breeders that exist. There is no reason at all to buy……
John Perry Barlow and Bob Weir Writing Cassidy
Cassidy is a great acoustic piece released on Bob Weir’s 1972 solo album Ace.

Perceptions
People’s perceptions are amazing things. They can be extremely strong motivators. They fascinate me not only from a human behavior standpoint but because they matter so much in life. Not necessarily to me, mind you, but in life they do. Perceptions are what mainly help us form opinions and cast judgment about situations and other……
Why Write?
Reading and writing are crucial to maintaining a healthy brain. Even a feeble brain can be sustained by both or even one activity. But higher thought surely requires it, and being emotionally level and able to cope with living as a human among other humans at this time on planet Earth should make it an……
