Stranger Things Season 4 Finale Death

My favorite character just died!  The Duffer brothers have gone too far this time.  Am I upset?  Yes.  Am I going to boycott season five, the final season?  Not a chance.  Now it is personal. This will no doubt be some of you at the end of season four but how likely will it be

Amazon Flex First Day

I almost threw forty packages into the port!  My first day working Amazon Flex was a disaster and luckily I made it through the block without a total breakdown.  My wife and I agreed the day before to sign up for an early bird block to see if it could bring in more cash than

5 Father’s Day Ideas For Geek Dads

Video games, comic books, professional wrestling, star wars and movie theaters.  If you used to ask your father for these when you were a child but now you’re asking your kids, you might be a geek dad.  Father’s Day is less than a week away and being one of those dads has inspired me to

Alvin Museum

CAVEMAN COLLISION

“Did cave men run into each other,” asked my four-year-old?     “Of course not, that would be stupid,” I replied.  But were cave dwellers really that dumb?  Other animals do it.  Could they, do it?  Is this why they had short life spans? We watch creatures head butt each other all the time on discovery

HOODWINKED ON HALLOWEEN

Do you have any lollipops?  A special request on Halloween?  I am thirty-six years old and have never heard a kid, much less a Werewolf, request a certain candy when trick or treating on Halloween.  At least six houses in a row got that question from my four-year old last night and had to disappoint.
