A recap on new albums released in 2017.

A slightly belated summary of books I read in 2017.

Now that we're well into the season of end-of-year lists, I thought I'd revisit my first half reading list and add books I've read since then.

Now that the month of June is in the rear view mirror, I'm finally getting around to doing the follow up post talking about the experience.

Running recap for the first half of the year.

A simple and fast process for making iced coffee.

Another day, and I'm running out of ideas so another list! This one will be short and somewhat comical, in that I haven't had a ton of variety in my gaming habits this year. I might have to bring in some items from late last year and cheat a little, as well as talk about new releases due in the second half.

A mid-year recap of music I've been listening to of late.

June feels like a good point to reflect on various things for the year, so I thought I'd do a quick post on books I've read this year.

I see London, I see France (but not in that order); or, How to Make a French Doctor Blush. Some may say it makes sense to avoid places out of season in bad weather, but where's the fun in that? I was in Daytona once for a few days during the off season. The weather varied from good to bad, but so long as it's not horrendous every day I kind of like living through a good rain storm on the beach.

“…the ozone layer is blocking more cancer-causing radiation than any time in a decade because its average thickness has increased” Cool! “Now the bad news: The ozone layer has also thinned over the North Pole. This thinning is predicted to continue for the next 15 years due to weather-related phenomena that scientists still cannot fully explain” Shit! “And, repairing the ozone hole over the South Pole will take longer than previously expected, and won’t finish until between 2060 and 2075”
