Also an all Apple environment here. If Open Source is a thing for you then Bitwarden is good; I used it for a while. I have hopes that the Apple Passwords app will someday "Sherlock" its competitors. However, for me and my house, 1Password is the thing, Have used it for many years and it has all...

If you are able to and don't mind driving, another interesting idea is auto parts delivery. Local auto parts stores are always looking for people to deliver parts to dealerships and repair shops. They generally seem willing to work with retirees and part time schedules and some places, like...

We have one very close by and it's the cheapest lunch date around! It's the one place where our shopping instincts are totally opposite from anywhere else. Normally, she's the "shopper" and I'm get in, get your stuff and get out as quickly as possible. However, at Costco, I'm the one who wants...

Who remembers the hamster dance? Hamster Dance

For completeness sake, the original term was "web log" or weblog which, as others have said, was like a journal or diary but posted on the web. Along the way, it just got shortened to "blog".

I first loved it because I was fresh out of college and still a big SNL fan. Now that I'm playing in a blues jam group, I watched it again recently with a whole new kind of appreciation.

Mine's a tie between cooked butterscotch pudding and banana pudding as made with the original recipe from the Nilla Vanilla wafers box.

I keep waiting for that quantum leap forward in battery technology. I know that incremental progress has been slow and steady, but I think a giant leap that results in lower cost and very long, rechargeable battery life would have a substantial impact on many things. (This is, perhaps, colored...

Not just movie night, any night, for any reason - popcorn is my crack. I remember family trips to the local drive-in and dad would pop up a brown paper grocery bag full of popcorn to take and divvy out in the car.

I have several handguns of the Glock variety. Our community just started a gun club with monthly range outings. Since I'm going to be shooting on a regular basis, I fulfilled another of my retirement bucket list items and just bought a 1911. Always wanted one.

My wife has made it clear on many occasions that, if she goes first, I'm not to get rid of anything without going through all the pockets, compartments, drawers, etc. She hides stuff everywhere - including things that she remembers hiding - but has yet to find them again.

Real specific memory from the junior high era. The church we attended had the parsonage immediately next door and it had a large, green front yard. At the right time of the year when we arrived for the social hour before Sunday evening service, all the kids would be in the front yard of the...

Janice-Marie Johnson's intro solo and classic riff that was my inspiration to learn bass.

I like all of them except zombie movies. For some reason they just don't interest me at all. Space related ones such as the Alien franchise are my favorites. Absurd slasher movies like the Terrifier franchise are fun. The Mrs. hates them so I always have to watch them alone.

Sadly, at least around here, the food and service have been in decline for a while. Much of it seems institutional and out of a can instead of tasting like it was home cooked (whether it was or not).
