It’s been a LONG and exhausting work week thus far, so this entry will be shorter and more to the point than is typical. But didn’t the episode feel that way? It, too, moved quickly to its raison d’etre of determining whose families Joey would meet. With hometown-to-meet-the-fam visits on the line, the Evil Genius... Continue Reading →
Everybody’s Fallin’
There are four weeks to go, and the rush to get Joey down on one knee[1] (take a sip) is moving at a fast pace. He made a pre-Rose Ceremony cut (Jess). Lexi self-eliminated as while she felt Joey was Mr. Right, her let’s-have-babies-right-away timeline math wasn’t mathing for him [cue Dr. John Right Place... Continue Reading →
Where Are We Now? My Musings.
We are five episodes into the season, and with ten episodes planned, we are at the halfway point. So, rather than recap two shows that didn’t change the arc of Joey’s journey to find love (take a sip!), I will offer my thoughts on the season so far. They are listed in no particular order....

Some make ridiculous entrances[1]. The Bachelor sends a few home. We remember a few: Maria and Jess, who are potential troublemakers, and the two... Continue Reading →
My Favorite Music of 2023
It’s that time for my annual look back on my favorite new music. I think I say this every year, but 2023 was one of my favorite years for music, which is why this year’s list is longer than usual. However, there was one remarkable standout. BEST OF THE BEST Gabriels Angels & Queens Many... Continue Reading →
Paradise Really Lost
Once upon a time[1], Lenny Kravitz sang, “It Aint’ Over Til It’s Over.” By “over,” I’m not referring to Season 9 of Bachelor in Paradise, although this enjoyable season (Thanks Evil Genius Producers (EGPs)) has come to an end. In my case, I’m referring to over as meaning the relationships of the three couples coming... Continue Reading →
