As I might have mentioned once or thrice, this blog is about finding the funny … even in some not so funny situations. I would like to think that my posts actually demonstrate this, and maybe even generate an occasional chortle or a guffaw if not a downright laugh, but I don’t want to assume. […]
Back in the days before some crazy man invented electricity (it was invented by man right?), it was a lot easier to tell who your friends were. Way back when a friend was someone who shared the same stomping ground, wore the same skins, and did unmentionables in the same unmentionable spot. Anyone else wandering in was persona non-grata […]
Back in the days when writing things actually involved these odd creations called paper, pens and pencils … certain things were done slightly differently.

[vc_row][vc_column width=”5/6″][vc_column_text]I took the new camera out today to start learning how to use it. It is amazing how a little imagination and a fairly advanced piece of electronics can turn a basically mundane image into something eye-catching. With this new camera and a lot of practice, I might someday actually be able to call myself a […]
My sister and I have been on many adventures together. Me being the oddest of creatures, a technophobic techno-geek who prefers natural to man-made, many of those adventures involved trekking through beasty ridden forests with a full pack and a canoe on our backs, or maybe something even scarier like painting a bedroom.

I am not one who lives by schedules. I rarely even know what day of the week it is, let alone the actual date. My dad was always a bit like this too. Of course since I am currently not working, and dad has Alzheimer’s … it is that much worse. The days start to […]
