I'm back . . . back in the Blogit groove!

YES, I HAVE RETURNED! Hello, everybody! I made it! I just wanted everyone to know that, yes indeed, my wife and I had a very nice getaway in our favorite resort town of Cape May! And I also wanted to sincerely thank all of you well-wishers out there who left such nice thoughts and comments on my... Sign in to see full entry.

Time for my temporary leave of absence

OUR TENTH TRIP! Well, Blogit friends, it’s that time of year again! Time for my wife and I to make our annual excursion to Cape May for our anniversary, this year being our tenth. For those of you not familiar with Cape May, it is a wonderful resort town at the very tip of southern New Jersey. In... Sign in to see full entry.

I swear I didn't cheat!

BUT IT DOES PAY TO LISTEN! When I was a junior in high school, my American History teacher was a very fun and very likable guy actually named Kenny Rogers ( and no, he didn’t look, sound, act or sing like the legendary singer of the same name! ) Nonetheless, I enjoyed his class very much. One day,... Sign in to see full entry.

Talk about amazing!

THAT SIX DEGREES OF SEPARATION STUFF SEEMS REAL! Not too long ago, a friend and I were discussing that unique phenomenon known as “ six degrees of separation.” In case there’s anyone out there unfamiliar with this concept, it’s a bizarre way of making a connection to someone through a series of...

Take heed, my friends!

THE SUN CAN BE A HARSH MISTRESS! My wife and I were watching the news the other night, and we saw something truly astounding! The channel we were watching was about to go to a commercial, when an image was shown on the screen of a close-up of a man’s face, perhaps in his sixties. The right side of...

So, what's YOUR simple pleasure?

IT SOOTHES THE SAVAGE BEAST! I think we’re all well aware of the concept of something that might be considered a guilty pleasure. Someone trying to either lose weight... or keep their weight down... might find a guilty pleasure in the occasional Snicker bar. Someone trying to budget themselves and... Sign in to see full entry.

Vacationing?

HOW ABOUT A VISIT TO SOME MUSEUMS OF LIMITED APPEAL? I don’t know about you, but sometimes I like to visit museums... any museum... because I love history, and am always fascinated by objects and articles that have been around for a lot longer than I have. It’s amazing to think that certain... Sign in to see full entry.

How about a sandwich instead?

HANNIBAL LECTER - EAT YOUR HEART OUT! Here’s a lovely little piece I came across in my newspaper last week. Some of you may have heard about this, some of you may not have heard about this. No matter. I won’t offer any opinion, any commentary, any thoughts at all. It pretty much speaks for itself.... Sign in to see full entry.

Talk about food for thought!

WHY DO WE KEEP FEEDING INTO THIS? Allow me to begin this little diatribe with a few semi-rhetorical questions: Would you ask an alcoholic to guard your liquor cabinet? Would you substitute a diabetic’s healthy dinner with a combination of Gummy Bears, jelly beans and Snicker bars? Would you allow... Sign in to see full entry.

Are you sure it's ironic?

IT COULD BE JUST A COINCIDENCE! Here’s something that might be fun to discuss... is everybody out there sure that they know the difference between irony and a coincidence? Coincidences are easy to spot, but all too often someone will come across one and exclaim “That’s ironic!” But it’s not! Some... Sign in to see full entry.

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"
