Gymnastics and rocket science
Simone Biles was right to call NO GO.
Vision Quest
Inspired by some friends who really did travel 300 miles from Fort Worth to Midland because that was where the graphics card was available. Blasted crypto miners...
Demon in the Freezer

As you might gather from the following, I have... opinions... about the allegedly non-parodic versions of that sign.

The drive to West I didn’t have to make
Among many, many other things, the fertilizer plant explosion on April 17, 2013, meant I didn't have to go to the nearby JP's office the next day. On the whole, I would have preferred the jury duty.
Dragon Fire
A space song from 2011 — back when SpaceX's plans for its Dragon capsule were still largely aspirational — that I missed putting up here previously.
Haul the Long Way
Obligatory Suez-themed sea shanty, vaguely to the tune of "South Australia."
The Cloner Man
So, yeah, I had to get in on the "Wellerman" thing. This is connected to Matthew Legare's Institute for Irate Science project, imagining one scientist's... creative... solution to quarantine loneliness.
Beyond the Veil (Taelia’s Song)
Another World of Warcraft song, this time inspired by the character of Taelia Fordragon — who, as the new Shadowlands expansion bringing players into the lands of the dead begins, has just learned that her father, Bolvar Fordragon, didn't quite die the way she was told...
Jeb
Inspired by watching my friend Kris Overstreet playing Kerbal Space Program on his own gamestream. (I have the game myself but haven't played it much mainly because I find the actually having to steer during launch incredibly daunting.)
Four Seasons
Inspired, as you might well guess, by recent events. A song from the point of view of a lawyer and onetime mayor reflecting on the events that have brought him to this juncture...
