Why “Hell Bent” is not the best Doctor Who episode Steven Moffat wrote.

December 10, 2020 By Finn Leave a Comment

I love Hell Bent. It’s an episode of new Doctor Who I often find myself going back to when I want the heart strings tugged on, or when I want to see the Doctor & Clara pushed to the limits – Time Lord Victorious style. Confessionally, that desire is frequent. And I think – I […]

The first time the OldOld Man saw a Volkswagen Bug (Happy Veterans Day)

November 11, 2020 By Finn Leave a Comment

OldOld Man at boot Camp. Ft. Hood, I believe. WW II

As I was reminded by Facebook Memories, had any of this been normal, The OldOld Man would be headlining a local Veterans Day luncheon event or two back home, again, in Indiana. A little grub at the Rotary Club. A little dessert at his retirement community. A long nap after. But those events are cancelled, […]

Why I audio binge-read Neil Gaiman’s Books

February 29, 2020 By Finn Leave a Comment

my first two neil gaiman audio book hold tries

The main reason I first audio binge-read Neil Gaiman’s’ novels, as opposed to starting with Pratchett, Lovecraft, or Dick, was that Gaiman narrated most of his books and those narrations were available at the local library. TLDR It was early fall 2017 in East Bay. I needed to exercise. I needed to read. I had […]

“No, we don’t own the Bistro,” and how neighbors work together ’round here.

January 29, 2020 By Finn Leave a Comment

Short: Who owns Garibaldi Portside Bistro? That’s Dennis & Amanda Cavitt of Garibaldi, Oregon. They live behind us, or we live to their side, or something like that. The Cavitts were the one who purchased the building that housed The Troller Restaurant & Lounge, and that’s where quite a few of us spent much of […]

I do Weight Watchers (now WW, now MyWW…) with my wife, families from church, and fellow cravings enthusiasts. My mother & her best friend are also doing it back in Chicago along with my mother-in-law’s best friend out there. Every Monday night (it used to be Tuesday, and it might go back to Tuesday) we […]

On Pokémon GO Spoofing

September 4, 2019 By Finn Leave a Comment

I used to be hardcore anti-spoofing. My rational rallied around my joy for Pokémon GO, and that’s traveling & hunting, walking miles & miles at a time to finally find that rare, coveted Pokémon that fills the cobwebbed corners of the dex. Then one day at an Ex-Raid, I realized one of our players was […]

Verizon issues in Tillamook. It’s a running joke out here.

July 19, 2019 By Finn Leave a Comment

If you’re a tourist along the Oregon Coast, especially in the Tillamook Bay area, especially between Easter and Labor Day, especially if it coincides with a coveted fishing / hunting season, and despite having trusted Verizon as your cell provider, the following keeps happening every day until 8pm: Verizon service keeps telling you that you […]

[Pokémon GO] My priorities for Lucky Friend trades [team Mystic]:

July 3, 2019 By Finn Leave a Comment

Here are my trade priorities for lucky friends: Trade my shiny, non-wonder Groudon for a shiny, non-wonder Groudon. Traded with QueenAnectine. Now have a Shiny / Lucky / 91.1 Wonder Groudon. Thank you, Anectine. Trade my shiny, non-wonder Legendaries for the same – or excruciatingly similar shiny, non-wonder Legendary. I have 1 shiny, non-wonder Kyogre […]

Wedding Vows. Ogden Dunes Community Church. 2015-06-20

June 20, 2019 By Finn Leave a Comment

“It’s a little bit funny, this feeling inside,” So the song goes. That song. “The” song. “Your Song.” Our song. From the first time I complained about the cover and you assured me the original songwriter blessed the rendition, to the next two and a half hours on that flight I spent listening, meditating on […]

Are the Toronto Raptors “Champions” for beating the Warriors in the 2019 NBA Finals? Not yet, probably.

June 14, 2019 By Finn Leave a Comment

To me, Time beat the Warriors in the 2019 NBA Finals. The Toronto Raptors get the trophy and the parade and the rings and the banner raising and all the delectable, hedonistic spoils that goes along with winning the NBA Finals. The media will praise Kawhi Leonard’s toughness and Kyle Lowry’s steadfastness and continue to […]
