The Wedding Singer...

Recently, I started working with a musical side project, a wedding reception band. A sell out, you say? Hardly. Age brings many rewards, but the ability to stay up all night long is not one of them. A wedding band is a logical semi-retirement from the bar circuit. I have played thousands of gigs all... Sign in to see full entry.

When selling yourself is a short sale...

I’ve quite decided that I’m going to become one of those life coach guru types. They’re making a killing these days. Surely I can swindle, uh, coach my way to fame and fortune. It’s all about getting ahead, right? It’s the American way, the dream, the star for which we constantly reach. If you’re... Sign in to see full entry.

Reiterating the obvious...

So I read the other day where someone has put forth a study that says energy drinks might be bad for kids. Really? Gasp! At what point does anyone think extremely high levels of sugar, caffeine, artificial coloring, and an array of chemical ingredients not found anywhere in nature could possibly be...

Enemy mine...

I hope this never happens to you. There’s this old, rickety, wooden-planked swing bridge, see, and it’s going across a huge flooded river – I see it at the bottom of this steep, endless hill. Looks like two or three big alligators on the right and a barge full of laughing clowns right behind them. I... Sign in to see full entry.

Straddling the center line...

Much is made these days of the polarization of politics here in the good old US of A. It seems the wingnut factions on the far ends of the spectrum make the most noise and therefore get the most attention. Some of us sitting in the center of it all decry this, including me. Here I sit, firmly stuck... Sign in to see full entry.

Mind games...

I’m discovering a lot of things about lower middle age I’m not embracing too gracefully. I don’t like having to carry a pair of reading cheaters everywhere I go, but the alternative is stand fifteen feet away from everything I read. I don’t like the fact that I get up nearly every morning, without... Sign in to see full entry.

New Year's Excitement Lite...

By the time you read this, Christmas is gone and New Year’s is rapidly approaching. It’s been a long time I have done anything major on New Year’s Eve. In fact, I probably haven’t been to a New Year’s Eve Party in more than a decade and certainly haven’t done a blithering, squint-faced... Sign in to see full entry.

Was Haile!

To all here in Blg it Land, I just want to wish everyone a Very Merry Christmas! As to the header above, that' the old Saxon greeting which means, "Be well!" Or "Is your daughter 18?" one or the other. Either way, everyone be well and be blessed. Merry Christmas! You Guys Rock! Sign in to see full entry.

Of Mice and Men: Part Uno

This is a reprise inspired by Cheerygirl's missives on mice in her blog -- funny stuff, so go there when you're done here! It’s one of the great mysteries of life. Okay, maybe one of the great mysteries of modern suburbia. What is it about a creature about half the size and weight of a Brillo pad... Sign in to see full entry.

About this Blog

Flotsam, jetsam, tangled threads and ADD moments. Stupid jokes and esoteric observations. An occasional deep thought, even though I try like hell to weed those out as often as possible. This is just a comfortable place to come get an occasional chuckle or two. And yeah, I left for awhile -- most of us do at one point or another -- and now I am back. I feel no obligation to explain; suffice it to say, "There's no place like home."
