My experiment with Citibank’s AAdantage MasterCard is (almost) over. Their security verification features pushed me over the edge. Every time I tried to talk to them on the phone I would come away frustrated.

Recently I picked up the 1992 movie for $4.99 starring Sandra Bullock, Wesley Snipes, and Sylvester Stallone named after a 1981 song by The Police, Demolition Man. There’s no way this 1993 rated R film could/would get made today. It is a very strange film mixing violence, action, satire, and comedy.…

I broke down and ordered the Mavic Air 2 Fly More Combo. It satisfies the deficiencies of the Mavic Mini and costs half what the Mavic 2 Pro would cost. My two key needs, 4k video and Occusync, cannot be satisfied by the Mini.…

Found an old selfie for y’all
While cleaning out my digital desk I found this image from 2014 listing places in the world that I would like to visit. Six years later I have checked off six places that I have visited since then. The Chichtzen Itza on irks me because I was in Progreso this past summer but did not have time to get into the jungle.…

Movie Poster for Highlander
Probably my favorite movie is
Highlander from 1986. When planning a trip to Scotland, I had to make sure the Eilean Donan Castle was on the agenda. To me this castle is the epitome of what a castle should be.…
