My First Computer https://louplummer.lol/post/my-first-computer In December of 1993, I found myself single for the first time in my adult life. I'd just gone through several life changes, getting out of an unhappy marriage, leaving a stressful job and moving. While waiting to rent an apartment, I spent a week staying at my uncle's house....

From my 100 Strangers Project - Miranda, a real-life Roller Derby Queen. I thought Roller Derby died in the 70s and she told me that it had in fact done so but the 21st century has seen a revival. Miranda was a slight, if athletic woman with a definite energetic presence and a sense of enthusiasm.

A Day in the Life https://louplummer.lol/post/2024-05-09 I got up at 4:10am today, about twenty minutes earlier than normal. After making my first cup of coffee, I checked to see if the two blog posts I had scheduled were posted. They were, so I cross posted my app review to Reddit, as is my habit. I opened...

@alexandra I'm pretty happy most of the time. Having a nice, comfortable routine and somebody to love makes it easier.

- Five Things I've Protested https://louplummer.lol/post/five-things-i-ve-protested I was relatively apolitical through my twenties. My mom and stepfather were Democrats when I was a kid and people like Richard Nixon and Jesse Helms didn't get many kind words in our home. Later I went to live with my Dad, a Vietnam veteran and staunch Republican but in...

Eleven years ago today, Wonder Woman and I got married on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial and immediately boarded a train to the Appalachian Trail, where we spent the next five months thruhiking it. I love her more today than I ever have. I’m the luckiest man alive.

    @alexandra Did you ever have to go through a CS gas chamber for NBC training? That's a staple part of basic for soldiers and marines in the US. Luckily, I was on guard duty that day and missed it, only to get twice as bad later when I worked in law enforcement!
