A little Halloween Lego fun
My wife and I enjoy Halloween, especially the aesthetic, so she surprised me by ordering a Lego sugar skull. It’s officially called “Altar of the Dead”. It didn’t take too long to put together, maybe 20 minutes, but it was fun and it looks pretty good too. I love the detail in the altar items,…
Just a short note about Cebu Pacific
I was reminded tonight of something that happened about 20 years ago. My wife and I had booked a flight to the Philippines. Because we were traveling together, we naturally booked seats next to each other. I would think that’s pretty common. We booked the seats together on the same order, at the same time.…
Snails
Snails are very slow. Here he comes slither slither. His trail is shiny. This haiku is brought to you by 10 year old me, published in a school booklet from Manor View Elementary (in Maryland I think) in the 1990-1991 school year. I was pretty creative back then. I even have some drawings of snails…
Amazing Graffiti Art in NYC
Just some examples of great street art that I’ve seen in the city over the years. The first image may actually be from El Paso, Texas in 2005 though. I can’t remember for sure.

Hell Gate Bridge and Astoria Generating Co., as seen from Randall’s Island

Battlefield 6 corner camping on Breakthrough
I managed to accomplish more with this than I expected. Normally I would just run to the next sector and get mowed down on the way there. Fun game. It has some serious flaws that I hope get worked out.
Government shutdown and the MWR – Fort Hamilton
With the government shutdown stretching into its third week, government employees on a bi-weekly pay schedule received their last paycheck this past Thursday. It was an abbreviated paycheck as well, for only 56 hours instead of a regular 80 hours, because 24 hours of the pay period were in the new fiscal year. Active duty…
Short update
I haven’t really posted much or regularly for quite a while and I think it’s not so much for lack of interest, but lack of time and that spark of creativity. Working full time, long commutes, and trying to do errands and fulfill other responsibilities on the weekends is time consuming and draining and it…
