Happy Birthday, America! No more cake and booze for you . . .

CELEBRATING THE 4TH OF JULY WITH MIXED FEELINGS Many countries around the world have an ‘Independence Day,’ a moment in their history when they broke away from some larger, more powerful, more dominant nation and became an independent state. And each of these countries has their celebrations to... Sign in to see full entry.

I always thought that 'imports' and 'exports' were two different things . .

WHY PURCHASE A PRODUCT YOU ALREADY HAVE? I’d like to begin my latest diatribe with an analogy. I’ve found that, in many, many incidences, analogies are usually the best way to explain certain things, and get a point across... Try to imagine if you had a nice, manageable tomato garden growing in your... Sign in to see full entry.

A day without laughter is like, well, a day without laughter! Not today . .

YOUR MERRY MEDICATION IS ON ITS WAY! Just whatever you do, don’t overdose on the laughter! I don’t want to be responsible for your humorous demise...

Does anybody really know what time it is? Seriously! What time is it?

IS IT WORTH TRYING TO KEEP THE CLOCKS IN SYNC? In our kitchen, above our dining room entrance, we have a ‘novelty’ clock that represents a drive-in burger joint from the ’50’s, complete with images of vintage cars and a waitress on roller skates. Our stove has a small clock in its center, and the... Sign in to see full entry.

I have returned, rested and relaxed, but wrought with 'vacation hangover!'

BACK TO THE GRIND! Greetings, one and all! I’m back! As always, my wife and I had a wonderful time at the shore. Romantic walks on the beach, sumptuous dinners, relaxing dips in the pool, sitting on the balcony in the evenings overlooking the ocean, drinking wine and snacking on whatever we felt...

Time once again for my early summer hiatus, and a wonderful trip!

CELEBRATING OUR TWELFTH GLORIOUS YEAR TOGETHER Well, everyone, it’s time for me to bid you all a fond adieu for a brief spell. My wife and I will be making our annual trek to Cape May to celebrate our 12th anniversary beginning this weekend, and we’re really looking forward to it. Things have been...

A bathroom break in the 'middle' of the night? I'll take it!

SOMETIMES THE ‘PEE PEE GODS’ CAN BE CRUEL Here’s a topic that may be somewhat objectionable and a little off-color to discuss, but I’m fairly certain it’s something we may all have in common ( or at least most of us ): those irritating, middle-of-the-night calls from nature! Both my wife and I try... Sign in to see full entry.

Keeping the laughs just a-rollin' along, one chuckle at a time . . .

BE PREPARED TO STOP... AND SMILE! If these don’t brighten up your day, or your week, then nothing will! Shall we...? * There was an old woman who lived in a shoe, She had so many children she didn’t know what to do! So she gave them some broth without any bread, And she whipped them all soundly and...

Back on my soapbox again with that same old discussion: stupid people!

MY SYMPATHIES ARE EXTREMELY DIVIDED Once again, my wife and I saw a news report recently that made our heads spin, and forced me to launch into yet another tirade against everyone’s most formidable enemy: self-absorbed morons! The report was the latest up-date on the increasing number of injuries... Sign in to see full entry.

Don't we have enough 'alarming trends' to contend with already . . . ?

IDIOCY, GULLIBILITY AND VIOLENCE: A VERY DANGEROUS COMBO On New Years Day in 1965, comedian Soupy Sales, upset because he had to work on a holiday, ended the live broadcast of his show, “ Lunch With Soupy Sales,” by encouraging his young viewers to sneak into their still-sleeping parent’s bedroom...

About this Blog

Like the famous Roman stand-up philosopher Comicus once exclaimed: “I coalesce the vapor of human experience into a viable and logical comprehension.” In other words, I see, hear and read about a lot of peculiar things, try to make some sense of them, and then pass them on to you, hopefully in a whimsical but common sense way. Strap yourselves in . . . this ride can sometimes be a little bumpy! From the author of "The Hindering" and "Welcome To America-Society In Decline"
