  • It Was Perfect, Come Fight Me

    This is going to be a controversial opinion…perhaps unpopular. My former secretary will absolutely disagree with my answer, but…let’s talk about the Stranger Things finale. *Spoilers ahead, so don’t read if you’re late to the Stranger Things bandwagon and haven’t watched the last season yet. My secretary was too in the weeds with the details,… →

  • Thoughts on Life

    Picking a philosopher to have dinner with is assuming I know any philosophers and what they taught. Google gave me a handy list of the most famous philosophers to help me choose. They broke the list down into categories such as ancient and classical philosophy, Eastern philosophy, Rationalism and Empiricism, and ethics and the Enlightenment.… →

  • Is this real life?

    Josh and I have the same answer to this question. Questioning reality for us was asking ourselves, “Is this really happening? What is going on? What’s going to happen? What do we do now?” And that happened in the days leading up to the Covid lockdowns. As the world started to shut down, it was… →

  • A Roman Love Story

    Look, my husband will tell you that me and history don’t get along. He thinks that just because I was a teacher (and taught middle school social studies for several years) I should know more about history than I do. I really don’t know much because it doesn’t interest me like it does him. And… →

  • 0/10 Would Not Recommend

    5Ws Wednesday I could easily write a very lengthy response to this question. My answer would be something about when I quit my long-time career two years ago without having a backup plan. In fact, I’ve spent the past two years writing about that moment. So wihout rehashing that moment of emotional strength, let me… →

  • Zombieland Rule Applies

    I feel like a question regarding simple joys has been asked before and I’m pretty sure I may have answered it. Regardless, my thoughts on the question are all focused on the fact that I am definitely a simple joys kind of person. I don’t need anything complicated to make me happy. The first few… →

  • For the First Time

    Movie/music Monday What an interesting question today! And given that it’s Movie/music Monday in my little slice of the blogging world, I’m happy to ruminate on this. I actually have a few movies that I would like to experience again for the first time. I think answers to this question have to be movies that… →

  • Just Do It.

    Hold on, WordPress…where did the inspiration for this prompt come from? Have you been stalking my social media accounts? Did you see my post yesterday where I bragged about having gotten up early to go running for five days in a row? Regardless of where you got it, good job on the timing with this… →

  • Overrated But Still Good

    I’m going to twist this prompt into a bit of a pretzel with my answer. First of all though, to answer the question as it is, I guess I could say Pride and Prejudice is overrated. I read it in one of my college English classes and while it was a good book, I just… →

  • Underrated, But Oh So “Cool”

    Y’all are lucky. I was about to make this post about Hamilton, yet again. But I wasn’t going to write about Alexander Hamilton himself, I was going to write about Marquis de Lafayette because the city where I live is named after him. But I’ll spare you since I’ve probably got at least 4 or… →
