I only really go to Universal Studios for Halloween Horror Nights so its nice to see Hogwarts all lit up for the occasion. Our last experience with Universal in 2019 was not so hot and I was not really looking to go again. I was convinced to go by the Halloween 4 maze (after our year of Friday Night Horrors) and was very pleased with…

A chamber of commerce type of day at Disneyland. Since furlough has ended and things have been opening up, it’s really been tough trying to do some of the favorite things from the before time. It was nice to walk the park and snap this photo today. The weather was perfect and everything felt like it was going to be alright.

Was out with Daniel when this lighting storm was going crazy passing through our area. When I got back home I went outside and decided to video the clouds for a few minutes to see if I could capture anything.

So much on the back end is configured wrong that I am worried I will never…

Sixteenth in the series of the self-isolation media consumption catch up. We have reached the one year point in our weekend movie nights. Since we’ve been back to work, we have alternated between Friday and Saturdays but for now I’ll continue to call the series Friday Night Frights. In this entry we cover movies watched between April and June 2021. Halloween 5: The Revenge of…

Slowly and surely things have opened up here in California, culminating in the lifting of most restrictions on June 15. Daniel and I have finally ventured out to eat at In-N-Out in person and it was strange getting used to eating someplace other than the car or the coffee table. The variants are running amuck around the world, but more and more of my friends…
