I went to lunch with a friend today, and at one point he said 12 12 12. Being the bright and alert guy that I am, I immediately latched on to this and said … "Huh?" He replied, "Isn’t that when the world is supposed to end?" It dawned on me that our prophesied Doomsday […]
As one or two folk might have noticed, we seem to have had a slight bit of a storm recently here on the east coast. Nothing to write home about, but she opened an eye or three. She was officially name Sandy, but to the more affectionate among us she was called Frankenstorm. Here in […]
"Porkchop has been banned from Brockton!" said mom. Brushing the sleep from my eyes, I said "What are you talking about?" She replied, "Brockton banned Porkchop." Now that everything was much clearer, I said "What are you talking about?" "Porkchop the pot-bellied pig …" she clarified. Almost actually awake, I asked, "And who IS Porkchop […]
It is possible that nobody actually noticed, but I have been on a blogging hiatus again. If anyone is curious what I have been up to … let’s just say I took a very looooooooooooooooong nap. As is often the case when one does a Rip Van Winkle, one tends to miss the details of […]
I have been quiet for a while again. Guess I must have pulled my laugh organ. Or just did not encounter anything that tickled it for a bit. Fortunately, this morning I happened to pick up a newspaper, no doubt due to a slight attack of the crazies. I should probably do it more often because newspapers (and […]
Time for a little more perspective on … well … perspective. Humans are pretty habit driven creatures. The most free-spirited of folk has their habits, even if their biggest habit is to not really be all that habitual. Some of our habits become so ingrained we don’t even recognize them as habits. Especially the habits related to how we perceive the […]
I had the most curious thing happen to me this morning. A truly eye-opening experience. It had me so flabbergasted that I actually did THREE sit-ups getting out of bed (the first two failed mid sit)! I am still in shock about it, but it must be shared! It seems … are you ready for it? Brace your self! It […]
Memory is an interesting invention. Obviously when the divine design team was planning ye olde humans, they wanted to have a little fun with the final product. They seemed to have left a bunch of easter eggs in our heads, kind of like the Microsoft design team always does. Hmmmmm. Anyway one of the things they messed […]
One of my favorite pastimes is to wander around and about with my camera, taking pictures of whatever catches my eyes. I have even managed to convince a few people I actually have some skill with the thing. It is a great way to explore one’s creative side, as well as refresh the soul. My preference is nature photography, […]
In the beginning … … it was cold. A chilly night in the cave? Turn on the heat? Not so much. Throw a few extra mammoth skins on maybe and a good bit o’ snuggling … but that heat thing was still just a dream. The nightly festive gatherings around the central camp pile-o-rocks were […]
