TEK-ee-FEEL-ee – enjoying both sides of the brain.
I have a good bit of loss this week. A dear friend lost her 9 year battle with a reoccurance of cancer. She was the epitome of bravery in battling and facing the disease with class, aplomb, and faith. I hope to be like her in many ways. Then, Dolly. Then, Tim Curry. Sheesh. I…
My voice acting career is slowly but surely growing. I’ve spent a good bit of time (and $) on coaching, training, business tools and casting sites (le, sigh, paying to try to get work just feels off) and so far, 2026 is starting off better than any other year! Since I’ve been a techy-feely human…
Today, September 30, 2025, marks the end of an era. America Online (now called AOL) is turning off their dialup service. When I first heard this, my first thought was: They still HAD dialup service? Then, I turned nostalgic. Of course. It is what I do. I straddle the Boomer/Millennial era that saw all of…
I mean, I do love me some Boy George and the fun tunes from the 80s that that band provided. But, for me today, Culture Club means a group of women who gather every so often to do something “cultural” together. It started as a more traditional book club kind of thing but morphed quickly…
I was surprised when my supposedly “baseline” hearing assessment resulted in a recommendation for hearing assistance devices. The graph was clear that my hearing sharply declined in the higher frequencies and the audiologist explained that hearing aids would be of benefit to me because of this. I pondered this for a while and decided to…
I lost another good friend yesterday. Like my friend, Tony, I had known dave for a long time. Unlike my friend, Tony, dave was more regular in my day-to-day life because we worked at the same school. In fact, when I was considering taking a job at the community college, dave was who I consulted…
On August 30, 2007, I started my Twitter account using my social media name @ajwms. I’ve written about my journey with it here and in other places at my work (that have been lost…thanks ransomware) My first tweets were…um, excited? Cute? Mostly about installing software on my new Apple devices..I guess 2007 was when I…
WOWOWOWOWOWOW – It has been WAAAAAAY TOOOOOO LOOOOOONG since I have posted here. So much to catch up my (checks notes) zero readers on about my life. I retired from my “regular” job earlier this year and decided to give a good old college try (see what I did there?) at voiceover. I have been…
Back in October 2020, we were knee (maybe neck) deep in the global pandemic of COVID-19. My mother was not feeling well (not from the virus, but we learned shortly after that it was from Stage 4 pancreatic cancer) and I needed something to hang on to for a few minutes each day. I recalled…
I just discovered this poet – John Roedel – via a casual Facebook acquaintance. And, I can’t stop re-reading this poem so i wanted to put it here for safe keeping… my brain and heart divorced a decade ago over who was to blame about how big of a mess I have become eventually, they…
