  I spent a lot of time on there.com over the past few days, and kicked things off with my open house on Friday evening from 6 to 9 pm. Several visitors dropped in and looked around, and I mentioned Frank's upcoming concert on March 7th. There are a couple pamphlets at my cafe with Youtube links to his music; you can find them on the stage and one below if you'd like to take a look. I also did some tours of my Netsleuths HQ, which I had set up on an adjacent island. Franklyn Woods I hosted an event on Saturday evening that featured the Crawlspace podcast. Hosted by Tim Pilleri and Lance Reenstierna, the focus of the discussion was "gaslighting" and how people manipulate others. Their guest was Dr. Robin Stern, author of "The Gaslight Effect: How to Survive the Hidden Manipulation Others Use to Control Your Life." Crawlspace Episode 627 After the podcast ended, I ventured over to a buggy-bash event hosted by Kiryahava. It was a lot of fun, and I tried to cap...

  The weekend is coming up, and I have an event planned for this Friday evening on the 20th. It is an open house and get-together for people in my Words and Lyrics Club, new members, and all current members of there.com. Thought it would be nice to just chat and have some (relative) newbies meet some of the people in my there orbit -- the event will run from 6 pm to 9 pm, Eastern Time. Everyone is welcome to stop by for a few minutes or hang out for a while. Last night, I hosted another True-Crime Podcast event that covered the Nancy Guthrie kidnapping. Misty and I were talking about how we really have not seen a kidnapping case like this is a very long time, and also how frustrating it is as time goes by with no real answers or clues emerging. I am starting to think she may have been taken to Mexico, which is only about an hour's drive from Tuscon, Arizona. Criminology Podcast Mike Morford is the co-host of the Criminology Podcast, and we have known each other for a while on true-...

  Superbowl weekend was a lot of fun and a well-attended event. BABS, Delight, tutu, Sal, Mikey, Droopy, Joykin, and I participated in the set-up and planning of the festivities, and it was a fun mix of fashion, football, and convos. Joykin livestreamed ALL of our Super-Bowl watch party -- link below. Also a shoutout to our resident supermodels who glammed it up on Saturday evening at the fashion show! 2026 SB Watch Party The game itself was pretty much a snoozefest, a defensive struggle through three quarters in which both teams failed to score consistently. Being a Steelers fans, I was pretty much a neutral observer. However, it was nice to see the Patriots denied a 7th Lombardi trophy -- they remain tied with the Steelers at 6. Since I was half-watching the game and overseeing the watch party, I was pretty much distracted from the TV ads. I will have to go back on Youtube and see what I missed. I had a laugh when one of my friends failed to recognize Joe Montana doing the coin f...

  For the past week or so, I have been doing some decorating at the venue for our upcoming Super-Bowl weekend. BABS did a nice job literally setting the stage for this party by setting up a football field with goal posts. Rowdi_Designs has also helped out a lot by adding such items as table snacks, drinks, and a bar in the end zone. MikeytheItalian has created some cool props that will debut during the Saturday evening festivities. I have tried both, and they look great.   Mikey, i tuoi talenti sono apprezzati! Grazie mille. BABS set up a stage and runway on the field, where Delight will host a fashion show on Saturday evening, February 7th, starting at 7:30 pm. Droopy is also going to spin records Saturday evening in a musical tribute to SB entertainers of the past 25 years. The Super Bowl watch party will take place on Sunday, February 8th -- doors will open at 6:00 pm Eastern Time with the kick-off at 6:30 pm. In decorating for this event, I decided to highlight certain pl...
