Surprise -- back with new material -- I hope...

Hi all -- been busy of late and hadn't really done much on this stuff. Hopefully I can change that soon. Anyway, missed everyone and will come visiting soon, as well as post a new missive shortly. Hope all is well! Sign in to see full entry.

Not for the faint of heart or sensitive of nose...

I don't know what it is about bodily functions that tickles our funny bones so. But they do. And nothing is funnier than that nastiest of nasties, that party favor of pungence, that tooting constitutional, the fart. Come on; think about it. Remember being a kid on a long trip in the car? Of course... Sign in to see full entry.

Holiday greetings and best wishes...

Ah, another Christmas whizzes by, another page falls off a calendar that is now empty, but come a couple more days, there probably won't be much resale for it anyway. I'm not sure how we wind up doing the things we do, sitting in the places we sit, kind of like the old David Byrne song. Still,... Sign in to see full entry.

Picture Perfect

Here's a taste of my new book, "Ancestor Worship" available on Amazon Kindle.com. If you’ve ever had to move someone’s household after thirty years, then you know the myriad of tasks involved in such an endeavor. One of those tasks, of course, is going through family memorabilia. Everyone needs to... Sign in to see full entry.

Another Shameless Plug...

Don't look now, but "Ancestor Worship" which is the second of a series of ebooks I'm publlishing on Amazon kindle, is now up and available. Just think, all those Strat family secrets for the low, low price of 6.99... This is volume 2 of the Whitebread series. Enjoy! Sign in to see full entry.

Never name anything you plan to eat...

It’s kind of interesting the way we perceive our animals, especially pets, these days. I am not making fun of anyone – My Beloved and I absolutely spoil our dogs shamelessly. But this is a little odd, because I don’t think either of us was raised that way. In our house, dogs were meant to live... Sign in to see full entry.

Memories I'll never lose, no matter how much I booze...

Ah, Sputnik, I hardly knew ya and yet I can't forget ya... No, I don’t mean the Russian satellite. I mean the biggest piece of automotive junk ever held together by sheer malevolent will and scotch tape, a car with which I once suffered three years of chronic ownership, Sputnik the Wonder Sled. Some... Sign in to see full entry.

A pack of gum and a bucket o blood...

If you grew up with me, then you probably lived through, or were part of, a number of insanely stupid mishaps, from a goose egg in the noggin from taking a direct hit from a bottle rocket, point blank, to falling out of trees, ripping clothes and skin on barbed wire fences, various and sundry bike...

Another trip on the merry go round...

If I were a bit more of a religious man, I might be seriously worrying about the end of the world here. But, no, I think we're just circling the drain a little, that's all. All one has to do is turn on the TV to get a good dose of end-of-days paranoia. Terrorists on every street corner. New diseases... Sign in to see full entry.

About this Blog

Flotsam, jetsam, tangled threads and ADD moments. Stupid jokes and esoteric observations. An occasional deep thought, even though I try like hell to weed those out as often as possible. This is just a comfortable place to come get an occasional chuckle or two. And yeah, I left for awhile -- most of us do at one point or another -- and now I am back. I feel no obligation to explain; suffice it to say, "There's no place like home."
