Now in this particular case, does the punishment really fit the crime?

I DON’T THINK HE DRANK THAT MUCH SODA! Here’s another one of those ‘head-scratcher’ newspaper articles I came across recently that set off a myriad of thoughts and ponderations. The words extreme and ridiculous came to mind a few times, but I’ll let you decide... Drink refill costs worker big-time... Sign in to see full entry.

You can 'talk' about sex in cinema. I just don't feel the need to see it

IF IT’S NOT VITAL TO THE PLOT, LET’S MOVE ON PLEASE! Here’s a rather unique topic to discuss that I’ve always wanted to bring up: sex in movies! Now, before anyone thinks that I’m going to go on some kind of raunchy tirade and bring up a few ‘delicate’ and embarrassing elements, believe me, that’s... Sign in to see full entry.

Two more words that seem to have gone missing from our language! Why?

WHY MAKE THINGS COMPLICATED WHEN THEY CAN BE SO SIMPLE? Like many of you, I like to read, as well as write. Over the years, for one reason or another, our language has been severely mangled, bastardized, diluted, disassembled, rearranged and adulterated to the point that certain things just don’t...

An amazing story of "pet dedication" in a very unusual environment . . .

WE MISS LONG, LOST PETS... AND THEY MISS US! Several years ago, my wife discovered a group of stray cats living in a wooded area next to a cemetery not too far from the home of a friend of ours. Being the animal lover that she is, we actually ended up taking two or three home with us who seemed to... Sign in to see full entry.

When it comes to voting in general, is "yea" and "nay" all there is?

I DON’T THINK ANY POLITICIANS WERE INVOLVED IN THIS ONE! The other day, my wife and I received some correspondence from our bank that initially was quite confusing. After reading and dissecting all of the enclosed material, we finally figured out what it was all about. The gist of it was, our bank... Sign in to see full entry.

Just an update: our family history concerning Date-Of-Births remains intact

MOM ONE... 1940 MARYLAND CENSUS ZERO! Hopefully many of you will recall my mentioning recently that there was a slight discrepancy concerning my mother’s date-of-birth.

I think the knowledge of the nurses should be increasing, not decreasing!

SO, WHO’S UP FOR A LITTLE VASOVAGAL SYNCOPE? About ten years ago, soon after I was married, I decided it was time for my first complete physical in almost twenty-five years. And of course, a part of any physical is to have blood work done. I’m sure everyone here knows what that entails. A thin,... 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"
