Make soup; go nuts...THis one probably belongs in the soup kitchen

Okay, so recently I was waxing rhapsodic about the sybaritic delights of tantalizing aromas wafting from a barbecue grill on a perfect spring evening. There’s nothing like it, and believe me, my Beloved and I take full advantage of such simple pleasures. But do you do when, well, when the feat turns... Sign in to see full entry.

MMMMM. Fire Good!

It’s time once again for that most cherished rite of warm weather: Grilling out. It’s not just that the weather is nice and cooking out is a welcome change from hunkering in a cold kitchen all winter. It’s not just that the stars are bright and the tea olives exhale a perfume unlike anything... Sign in to see full entry.

Time for my dose of salt water

So one resolution I have -- and will keep -- is to get myself back into the waves this year. In fact, I have my eye on a gently used 7’2” egg, perfect for floating a tired, middle aged ho daddy in these smaller, rarer east coast waves. So what is this guy gibbering about, you might say? Well, this... Sign in to see full entry.

Mother nature's strip tease

There’s nothing like rain and bad weather to put one in a jaded frame of mind. In fact, after the last few days, I think I understand why people who live in places like Seattle get hooked on latte, or heroin, or some combination thereof. Months and months of endless rain will do that to you. Even a... Sign in to see full entry.

Any time now...

As Willie Shakespeare once sort of said, “Now is the winter of our discontent.” Granted, he was talking about things a little deeper than the sorry state of my nasal passages caused by the ravages of winter, but it has been a long and aggravating past few months, to be sure. I hate being cold. I... Sign in to see full entry.

Strat's dumb devotional of the day...

This little gem greeted me in this morning's e mail -- thought I neededto share! "The pastor asked if anyone in the congregation would like to express praise for answered prayers. A lady stood and walked to the podium. She said, "I have a Praise. Two months ago, my husband,Tom, had a terrible... Sign in to see full entry.

Rites of passage

“There’s only two things in the world I’m afraid of and one of them is Dr. Evil.” “What’s the other one?” “Carnies. Small hands. Smell like cabbage.” Austin Powers, International Man of Mystery So I was reading yet another story about our commode-circling economy. This one had to do with how people...

Oh all right; another dumb joke of the day!

A pirate walks into a bar with the ship's wooden steering wheel attached to his zipper. The bartender looks at him and says, "Hey buddy; did you know you have a steering wheel on your willy?" The pirate says, "Arrrr...It's driving me nuts!" This thing working? I can hear you breathing out there! Sign in to see full entry.

"This thing working? can hear you breathing out there..."

Strat's awful musician joke of the day: A doctor asks his patient, "so what's the matter with you today?" The guy says," No matter how hard I try, I'm just constipated. Can't do anything!" Doctor prescribes a heavy duty laxative and tells the guy to come back n a couple of days. Two days later, same... Sign in to see full entry.

My karma ran over my dogma: Part Uno

It is said that paradox is the way of the world. One cannot have good without evil; light without darkness. That’s dogma. It is also said that what comes around, goes around. That’s karma and it runs right over dogma every time. Karma follows you through the generations, through several lifetimes,... 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."
