He's still around, exerting his influence. Beware the dark, shadowy places you'll find him.
Godzilla
I am the ruler of pizzapredator.com. President-for-life, God-Emperor, Generalissimo. All pizzas in my path will perish!

Campfire
To follow up on an earlier post: the fire pit has had its inaugural fire. It went well, especially because I decided to grill some brats and vegan brats too. I don't know if I've ever grilled anything outside here in February. What a good time.

Extra Special Bitter
This is a style of beer I think (maybe I'm wrong) had a surge in popularity in the craft beer world around 20 years ago, around the time I got interested in craft beer. I say that and of course I can't think of any other

Rocky's
Rocky Rococo always provides me a taste that harkens back to childhood, when for a large chunk of my childhood, it would be my favorite. The sauce, the crust, the sausage are all very distinctive. A broadly-recognized pizza style this pizza most closely resembles might be Detroit steel-pan

Bucks on TNT
What a hard-fought game, and finally the Bucks come on top in one of those. I thought the Bucks' defense was extremely poor. Rebounding was bad. They'd get a near steal, half the players would transition, then they'd quickly lose the handle, the Pelicans

Croissant Time
It's been a month since my last trip to Madison Sourdough. Almond croissants contain marzipan and have sliced almonds on the outside. It's my favorite croissant.

COVID Crusader
I got an e-mail today with a link to this story: The scientist who’s been right about Covid-19 vaccines predicts what’s next — VoxHilda Bastian on the most important pandemic vaccine in the pipeline and why we’re on track for annual booster shots. I thought it

Lost Alphabets
It kept bugging me "Dalziel" is pronounced DEE-ell, and not DAL-zee-ELL. I'm still slowly making my way through that show. It's not bad. I could probably find something more compelling, but I'm sticking with it. Anyway, I came across

The Catalyst
Is a nightclub/bar/venue in downtown Santa Cruz, CA. I've been there, many times, mainly between 2003-2008. The Catalyst usually meant some kind of event was going down. A few times I went there without the benefit of a live act, and it felt like a

David Gruber
Relentless legal impresario David Gruber dominates Bucks commercial time. I think I watch about 10 minutes worth of his stuff every Bucks game. I'd bump that up to 15 minutes for a Brewers game. I don't really know what to say about him. I imagine if

Jrue Jrue I see you
Oh man, won't it be great when Giannis, playing like he is now, teams up with Jrue? Tonight we had a classic Bucks experience: crappy team with marginal 3-point shooting, shoots about as well as possible. Meanwhile, the Bucks stop them in the paint while simultaneously dominating

Nat Geo Virus Article
See how viruses look up close — National GeographicCells are considered the foundation of life, but viruses—with all their genetic diversity—may share in that role. Our planet’s earliest viruses and cells likely evolved in an intertwined and often symbiotic relationship of predator and prey. Evidence even suggests that
