THE BEST WAY TO CHASE THE BLUES AWAY: LAUGHTER! And we shall commence thusly... There’s something refreshingly ironic about people lying on the beach contracting skin cancer, in an attempt to acquire a purely illusory appearance of good health while germ-laden medical waste washes up on the sand all...

Sometimes the most effective remedy is already in your medicine cabinet!

I’M SO GLAD I DIDN’T THROW IT AWAY! About a month ago, a strange abrasion suddenly appeared on the back of my right hand, around and on top of the middle knuckle.

Can there really be any such thing as "gender imbalance" amongst offspring?

WHAT’S THE PROPER SEQUENCE, BOYS & GIRLS? Last week, our friend TAPS brought up the “make up” of her family, talking about children, grandchildren and nieces and nephews, and wrote about the sons having boys and the daughters having girls. Of course it got me thinking about the make up of my own... 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"
