While I'm mixing genres in here...

Well, whle I'm mixing genres, here's a short story, no doubt posted in the wrong category, but whaqt the hell; I'm too lazy to start another blog tonight. It'sa little long, but ifyou can wade through it, tell me what you think! "The Night Snuff killed Caesar" I am doomed to forever remember a... Sign in to see full entry.

Should I join the poetry bandwagon?

Here's one I wrote when I was a sniveling high schol teenager. Goes something like this: Oh little boy with your nose pressed against the window of the donut shop We have no jelly donuts for you today Only Death! Not bad, huh? How about this Haiku? "Damn, in that tube top You almost make me forget... Sign in to see full entry.

Aging gracefully...maybe someday

I used to not worry a whole lot about retirement. I figured I’d probably be dead before then, anyway. Since I currently can’t get full Social Security Benefits until 72, and it appears the only people contributing to the system are six high school kids pursuing careers in the fast food industry,...

Is it time, already? or Christmas in June: Part Tres

So the day before Halloween I walked into the drug store. I was looking for Halloween candy; they had none. They did, however, have the store decked out for Christmas, right down to the 10-foot tall rubber Santa, the one that makes little kids cry the second they lay eyes on it, and the blaring...

A few thoughts...

I used to laugh at some of the songwriters. I mean, we all love George Jones rapelling out of a second story window to drive to the liquor store on a tractor, but the truth is, George felt our pain. Think about this song, which all guys know speaks to them, no matter how ridiculous it sounds in the... Sign in to see full entry.

Not for the faint of heart: Part Deaux

So last week my good friend and learned colleague spent the night at the famous Wampeii House in Pinopolis. Alone. The place is one of the more famous haunted houses in Berkeley County, and I’m happy to report that he came through with no weird facial tics and no more white hairs than he already...

Wish us luck

Well, here we go. My beloved and I, as you may know, are moving -- we are back on the coast where we belong. It's been a wild three months living in two places at once, and who knew we were going to be buying and selling homes in the worst economic collapse since the Roman Empire. Nonetheless,...

Another rant on the state of affairs...

I don’t usually get into writing about economics or politics, largely because the one baffles me and the other disgusts me. But even a poor old scribbler like me can see a monstrous case of political Encopresis when I see it. Everyone is talking about the bailout these days. Most mainstream news...

Decisions, decisions...

Occasionally, I wonder how I ever survived to be as old as I am now. And I’m really not that old. From nearly decapitating myself with a toy cymbal to field testing a homemade parachute from the garage roof, it’s a wonder I didn’t wind up a very dull fellow, a permanent Lark scooter driver, or the...

Just where did all this sh*t come from, anyway???!

By the end of last weekend, Monday actually, every appendage of my body was sore. Even my hair hurt. I’m getting too old for this. It actually took ten trips with a trailer loaded to the gills to get our stuff out of the house and into storage. We filled up one storage bin and the rest of a large... 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."
