My first challenge!
My first challenge!
As we approach the end of the April A to Z challenge, the letters seem to be a more of a challenge. Now it is time for the dreaded X. Despite a bit of laziness now and then, I have managed to come up with a word all by myself for every letter. But nothing […]
When I started high school, being fond of the outdoors I joined what was called The Ecology Club. We basically did all sorts of outdoor activities depending on the time of the year. Among other things, I quickly gained a passion for canoeing, especially whitewater canoeing. The academic advisor of the club used to run 10 – […]
They say not to put metal in microwaves. I now know the reason why. On Sunday morning I woke up bright an early at 4:20 PM feeling like Executive Officer Kane from Alien. That was SOME party! One of the best cures for a hangover (second only to a McDonald’s breakfast) is Chinese takeout leftovers. I […]
I put this disclaimer on one of my more involved and thought filled posts (The Road to Entropy): Knowledge is limiting. Knowledge is static. Understanding is limitless. Understanding is fluid.

It all started when somebody stepped on a butterfly. Why did the lightbulb cross the road? Because the chicken had a bright idea. Vote NO on Question 2! An inebriated ant laughed so hard he fell off his bar stool. Grass is just a weed with connections. Lambs eat oats and does eat oats and little lambs […]
The blaring of sirens woke me up again. My first thought was: Damn I could use a bit of peace! My second though was: What exactly IS peace anyway? Time for a new quest!! I went to my neighbor, who has an answer for everything. He and his wife were shouting at each other. Did […]
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]I made a mistake over seven years ago. I was living in Arizona, and on the day after Christmas I went to a bar and had a bit too much to drink. And then got in my car and drove home. I will be the first to admit that is a dumb thing to do, […]
My love for nature has helped define who I am today. Nature is my restorative. When the world of man overwhelms me, there is nothing like a visit with nature to restore the balance. For all my supposed ability for understanding, it amazes me that many a human do their best to not only deny […]
