Muted Lunacy

I am just a person trying to get through this horror show called life as best I can.

As I was going through my “before bed” routine last night I realized that I’m living in a state of fear brought about in a big way by our current society. My “before bed” routine consists of making sure all the windows and doors (including the heavy duty security door) are locked up tight. [...]

As I mentioned last month, I’m taking a trip back east. Well today is the day! In a few hours I’ll be on a plane dodging thunderstorms all across the country. A check of the weather back there tells me that I’m going from 100+ temps and low humidity to high 90’s, [...]

As I posted earlier, when I upgraded my Wordpress to 2.5 the photo gallery plugin I was using wasn’t compatible. The plugin author finally upgraded it and with the help of some folks on his site I’ve finally got it working! I am very excited as this was the only plugin that fulfilled [...]
