I don’t remember when it was that I was introduced to The Replacements. What strikes me is odd was how my best friend didn’t introduce me to the band at all. He hailed from Minneapolis and introduced me to Husker Du and The Ramones (along with a bunch of other musical stuff), but it was MTV…
I know it’s been a while. The start of the school year and the baby, well, it’s thrown us all for a bit of a loop. The main reason for this is Tevye. Here he is from just a couple of days ago. He’s 4 months old now. This past weekend we were eating dinner…
[NOTE: Yes, I am aware it is not Monday. I had intended these four parts of my 2014 Bumbershoot overview to be posted on a single Monday, but life has a funny way of getting in the way sometimes.] Monday got off to a little bit of a late start. Part of this was due to…
[NOTE: Yes, I am aware it is not Monday. I had intended these four parts of my 2014 Bumbershoot overview to be posted on a single Monday, but life has a funny way of getting in the way sometimes.] Sunday was THE DAY! This was the day that was the whole purpose of my Father’s Day…
My wife and I enjoy both “Chicago Fire” and “Chicago P.D.” and now these series come to DVD in their seasons two and one offerings, respectively. “Chicago Fire” came first and with its solid cast of characters and mix of firehouse and personal dramas it quickly became the hit it deserves to be.

The Walking Dead has become a bit of a phenomenon. There’s the long running comic which was turned into a hit television series. Then there’s Telltale’s episodic games which just wrapped up its second season. Besides all the other merchandise there is also a new game – Zen Pinball 2’s The Walking Dead table. This…
So I posted about my entire weekend at Bumbershoot 2014 as viewed through my twitter stream, but that was not the whole story. The 3 day pass was a Father’s Day present. I wasn’t able to travel to see The Replacements (more on that in a later post) but the band was a featured headliner…
Last weekend I was given tickets to attend Bumbershoot as my Father’s Day gift. I had a great time and was able to take August and Dela on Saturday then Kyle and I went on Monday. Sunday was all me, and it was fantastic. I have a lot to write about, as well as a…
“Are they all yours?” “As far as you know!” I had all five of the younger kids in tow after school. We were picking up Ciárán’s new glasses which had taken much longer to arrive than scheduled. I had hoped they would be ready before the school year started to avoid having to take all…
This has been a difficult review to write. Every time I start with a standard review it feels like I’m doing the game a disservice. This game doesn’t take itself seriously, it’s not a “jokey” type of game, but there’s a lot of fun going on. And it’s tough. Rail shooters present their own specific…
