I'm not one for "self-surgery," but I may be on to something

IT WAS THE FACIAL HAIR vs. THE BEAUTY MARK When I was in high school during the onset of puberty, I decided to grow a mustache. There were actually two reasons for this. First, like most teenagers, I thought it might make me look a little older, and a little cooler ( oh, the naivety of youth! ). But... Sign in to see full entry.

Greetings and salutations to one and all! Yes, I have returned!

TIME TO GET BACK TO THOSE SMALL DOSES OF REALITY... Hello, everybody! I’m back! First I’d like to give a sincere thanks for everyone’s well wishes concerning my wife and my anniversary, and our little trip. Eleven blessed years and still going strong!

It's time once again for a brief, early summer hiatus . . .

I SHALL TAKE MY LEAVE ON A HUMOROUS NOTE... Well everyone, it’s that time of year again. Time for my wife and me to take our little sojourn to that lovely resort town of Cape May to celebrate our 11th anniversary. And since we won’t be back until some time next week, I thought I’d leave you all now... Sign in to see full entry.

Given a choice between solitude and crowds, I think I'll take solitude

COULD WE HAVE SOME QUIET, PLEASE? Over the past year or so, many of you may recall me mentioning the size of my family. Between siblings, in-laws, nieces and nephews, and now great -nieces and nephews, an average family gathering, regardless of the occasion, will usually have at least thirty family...

Let's make Mondays fun again! Here are more goofy tid-bits . . .

LET’S NOT TAKE THINGS TOO SERIOUSLY! Ready for your weekly dose of silliness, gang? Well, let’s get going then... It is important to remember that the Automobile Club has a health plan, but the Health Club does not have an automobile plan. I buy stamps by mail. It works okay until I run out of...

Look! Up in the sky! It's a bird! It's a plane! It's a . . .

WE WEREN’T READY... BUT THE NEIGHBOR’S DOG WAS! One day recently, my wife and I were outside working on our yard. Besides the general maintenance required for the up-keep of any piece of property ( mowing, trimming, raking, sweeping, etc. ) we’re still more or less recovering from Hurricane Sandy....

No interest in helping your case? This is the way to do it!

IN THE PRIVACY OF YOUR OWN HOME IS ONE THING, BUT... Well, here’s another one of those articles I came across recently that made me stop and think for a minute or two. It also made me chuckle. Let’s see your reaction. Once again, in its entirety... Dad in Nazi uniform for custody hearing A Holland... Sign in to see full entry.

It's Monday! Time once again for your weekly dose of silliness . . .

OH THOSE NAGGING QUESTIONS! Sorry about the little unannounced hiatus there, folks! My 79 year-old mother came in for a visit from Texas at the end of last week, and since I only get to see her once or twice a year, well, I'm sure everyone understands! But don't be down! It's still Monday, and... Sign in to see full entry.

And some people still wonder why I absolutely loathe commercials!

THEY HAVE DEFINITELY INCREASED! I HAVE PROOF! In one of her recent posts, Kabu mentioned “skipping the ads” while watching some of her favorite TV programs, and of course it set off a firestorm of a response from yours truly that I would now like to expound upon... I literally stopped watching... Sign in to see full entry.

More of those madcap Monday morning tid-bits you love so much . . .

ROLL THESE AROUND IN YOUR MOUTH FOR A SPELL! Well, we all hate Mondays, but that doesn’t mean we can’t start off the week with a few laughs! For your pleasure... It’s odd that the word breath becomes breathe by adding a letter at the end, yet the pronunciation changes in the middle. And woman... 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"
