Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Welcome to Head Tale, The Blog

Let’s go *way* back to my very first blog post back in February 2006, nearly two months into my MLIS program and thinking “What can I possibly take up as a hobby that will help me procrastinate with assignments *and* be something I’m still doing twenty years later?!?”

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Oscar Is Here! (May 2007)

Instead of just posting a random picture from the past, I thought I’d try something new and post a link to a long ago article to take advantage of the fact that I have kept this blog going for nearly twenty years (!) which means its going to qualify for a pension soon! And what […]

Secular Sunday – What Happens When An Atheist Climbs The Stations of the Cross?

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – My Happy Place (Jan 2022)

The house we moved to in Fall 2019 has a few things our old house didn’t have – a lot more space, attached garage, walk-in closet, opens onto a green space and a designated office. This proved to be very fortunate when the Covid shutdown happened and I was working from home spending a lot […]
