Here's

HOW QUICK THINKING ( AND A SENSE OF HUMOR ) SAVED THE DAY! One evening, my wife and I were having a nice, quiet dinner at an Italian restaurant/pizzeria around the corner from where I used to live. In this one area of the restaurant, the booths were staggered along an angled wall, so the rows were... Sign in to see full entry.

Anyone can weigh in on this one

WHY THE “JERSEY SHORE” REALLY ISN’T THE JERSEY SHORE! Some of you may or may not be aware of the strange but controversial situation going on over here in the Garden State of New Jersey, where we used to grow lots and lots of gardens, but now it’s just in name only. Here’s an update... The producers... Sign in to see full entry.

A dog killing festival in China?

WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH US? It seems as though, on a daily basis, you pick up a newspaper or watch some report on the evening news, and it just kinda makes you slowly shake your head in both wonderment, and bewilderment. Certain stories simply piss you off, others stun you into an addled... Sign in to see full entry.

Hey, gang!

SO, WHO’S UP FOR SOME RANDOM TRIVIA? Always fun, always interesting, always something to share. Trust me, these are good! C’mon... you know you love it! And away we go... The Lincoln penny was the first U.S. coin to have a portrait. A camel can gulp down as much as 28 gallons of water in ten... Sign in to see full entry.

Do the clothes really make the man?

GIVING UP FASHION FOR COMFORT For those of you familiar with my very first blog ( “ No Man Is An Island, But...” ), hopefully by now you’ve come to realize that I march to the beat of my own drum. I consider myself to be what I’ve dubbed a “Free-Thinking Non-Conformist.” I do not buy anything, say... Sign in to see full entry.

Oh, those aches and pains!

WHO’S HOLDING YOUR VOODOO DOLL? My wife and I are both in our early fifties, and we try to stay as active as we can, as often as we can. We both share in all of the household chores, which I suppose is a little easier for us than for most people since we have no children. Regardless, lawns still... Sign in to see full entry.

We can be good to ourselves

RATING THE “GIFT HORSE” There are probably very few people out there, none that I know of anyway, who don’t like to receive a gift. Regardless of the occasion, it’s always nice and generally heart-warming when someone hands you something... anything... and says “Here, this is for you.” Sometimes, a... Sign in to see full entry.

Let's all go to the movies . . .

AND THE BEST OF THE BEST IS...? Some time ago, I was hanging out with a group of friends watching a Superbowl ( neither team was my team, so I didn’t particularly care about the winner ). During a break in the action, someone would flash around the TV stations, giving each channel a second or two... Sign in to see full entry.

Some strange notations . . .

WHAT THE HECK DID THAT MEAN? Like many of you, I am a writer. I’ve had a few books published, have amassed a collection of short stories ( soon to be published ), have had numerous editorials and articles printed, and am constantly thinking ahead to my next writing project, whatever it may be....

The true story of

THE MYSTERY KITTY My wife loves cats! Always has... always will. About a dozen years ago, she was handed three stray kittens, one male and two females. As a sort of fan tribute, she decided to name them Stevie, Ray and Vaughn. Although she loved all three dearly, Ray became her favorite, curling up... 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"
