Revisiting LOST
Dear Timmy Sean; Remember that show we really loved (until we didn’t, but then we hate-watched it until the end), LOST? On, I think it’s the Mary Sue website, someone…
Definitely the strangest WorldCon I’ve ever been to
Writing that title got me thinking… how many WorldCons *have* I been to? Mom, did you go to St. LouisCon in 1969? That would mean I was at that one,…
I finally caught The Co-co! The ‘Rona! The Sars and Stars! Whatever the kids are calling it these days.

Connemara and Kylemore Abbey Full Day Tour (Kylemore Abbey)
Kylemore Abbey. I partly liked it, and was partly like… “meh.” The parts I liked, I *really* liked. There was one little spot, I’ll make it it’s own little gallery…
Connemara and Kylemore Abbey Full Day Tour (Connemara/bus/sheep/more sheep)
When looking at tours around the Galway area, I wanted to see Connemara (no real reason, really, other than the name was interesting and I couldn’t find a ton of…
