This was supposed to be a special year. I suppose it is a special year, but not for all the pleasant things that should make special. It is special due to so many unpleasant and worrying things that are connected with climate change, corona virus, rise of civil unrest, resurgence of white nationalism, TRUMP and […]
Plan A, Plan B, Plan Whatever
Plan A for my birthday was – 1. Take the day off, 2. Get the kids to school and the wife away to work, 3. Play Fallout 4 whole day. At 8.01 in the morning the computer crashed (it took me until this Saturday, in total more than one week, to get the computer working […]
The 4 and 0
While the world seems to be rushing into chaos (these are just a few clues or some evidence for my statement: Coronavirus causing a worldwide pandemic with disastrous economical and social implications; a different pandemic of widespread mistrust in science and experts, giving birth to numerous self-proclaimed holders of the real truth calling for the […]
The Measure of a Day
When we were young, the answer to the title was simple – dirt. The more of it was on our bodies at the end of the day, the better the day was. There is no better measure for the amount of fun in my opinion. My kids are too often too clean, probably also due […]

Leftovers
Short term pressure can be a very good thing – it can give us motivation. On the other side the pressure makes us hurry. Like when I need to go to the toilet really bad, the pressure tends to help me find a toilet in the worst of the situations, but due to the hurry […]
Inescapable Second Coming
The second wave is here. And I am not talking about a sea wave. Nope, I am talking about the big fat Covid-19 wave. That fact alone means so many different things, but for us it basically meant that our sea trip to Croatia will not be as relaxed as we hoped it would be […]
A Local Tragedy and a Trip To Hell
The story of the local tragedy: They were a young couple, beautiful and vibrant. The aura of their happiness seemed impenetrable…unbreakable. No matter what the world threw at them, they knew they could triumph. Their love gave them a magical strength that seemed dead in the modern world, forgotten by the people that rule the […]
Frustrating
Finally the government measures have started to noticeably relax and we have been granted practically free movement within our country (judging from several foreign license plates we saw on the roads, we have started to let people into our country, but we are still unable to go to Croatia to visit some of our immediate […]
