Weekend's over! Back to the Monday grind! Hopefully, these will help . . .

LET’S GET THOSE PEARLY WHITES A-GLOWIN’ Time to turn those frowns upside down! Everybody ready? Let’s commence... I was taken to the hospital recently for observation. I stayed several days, didn’t observe anything, and left! A tree: first you chop it down, and then you chop it up! Did you ever... Sign in to see full entry.

You can leave it up to The Fates, or you can take your own initiative!

ONE WAY TO CHOOSE A WEDDING SONG... As some of you may recall, my wife and I recently celebrated our 11th wedding anniversary with our annual trip to Cape May. Each year on our anniversary, we usually end up talking and reminiscing at some point about the wedding itself. One of the things we were... Sign in to see full entry.

What do you do when you simply don't know what to do?

IT’S MY IGNORANCE OF ALL MENTAL AILMENTS One of our neighbors has two boys, the younger of which named David has autism. Not to demean his condition in anyway, he’s 14 years-old, looks 8, and acts like he’s 2. He doesn’t really speak, but once in a while screams for no apparent reason. Most of the...

It's Monday! Let's try to start the week with a chuckle or two . . .

STRICTLY FOR YOUR AMUSEMENT AND ENTERTAINMENT Got your juice and coffee? A buttered bagel? Maybe some cereal? I know what’s missing! Some laughs! Well, here ya go... I never watch Sesame Street. I know most of that stuff! Is the kidney a bean-shaped organ, or is the bean a kidney-shaped legume? When... Sign in to see full entry.

It seemed like a good practical joke, but I swear it actually wasn't!

ANYONE OUT THERE EVER HAVE A HOT DOG-LESS HOT DOG? We recently attended a graduation party for one of my nephews. It was an outdoor barbecue affair with all the fixin’s. As is customary whenever one of my siblings has one of these events, everyone brings something, usually the desserts. One of my... Sign in to see full entry.

A new designation for a special group of our fellow citizens

EVER NOTICE WHAT THOSE “CART HORSES” ARE WEARING? Anyone know what blinders are? In case you’re not sure, they’re those little squares of leather that are attached to the bridles of horses near their eyes to prevent them from seeing side to side, or even behind them. They’re designed to make sure... Sign in to see full entry.

Shall we get another week started with some Monday morning mayhem?

LET’S SEE HOW THESE SIT WITH YOUR EGGS & COFFEE Feeling down? A bit blue? Not sure where your next chuckle will be coming from? Hopefully some of these will do it... Never get on an airplane if the pilot is wearing a hat that has more than three pastel colors! Granola bars didn’t sell very well when... Sign in to see full entry.

Is there some aspect of your life that this may relate to?

JUST A LITTLE SOMETHING FOR YOUR CONTEMPLATION Someone’s autobiography... Day 1: Went for a walk down the street. Suddenly came upon a huge hole. Fell in... sustained injuries. Not my fault. Day 2: Went for a walk down the street. Came upon the same hole. Fell in again... sustained more injuries. My... Sign in to see full entry.

I had never even heard of this town! Talk about irony!

SOME THINGS DO COME FULL CIRCLE EVENTUALLY In my youth, I was an avid soccer player. The first few teams I played on were “pee wee” teams that played against others in my home town. By the time I was about 12 or 13, I had graduated up to what became known as “traveling teams.” We would now be going... Sign in to see full entry.

Mondays will never be the same without some humor thrown in . . .

ROLL THE DICE AND LET’S SEE WHAT COMES UP I know you’ve been looking forward to these all weekend, haven’t you? Well, without any further ado... I look at the self-help titles at the bookstore, and I get a few clues about our culture! Most of them seem to be all about aggression and acquisition. It... 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"
