Blog

mostly personal anecdotes where I sometimes try to be humorous

(maybe not always, Not everytime, but sometimes)

  • Sparkles and Shines

    On my sidebar I have a few links to blogs and websites I frequently visit – all representing people I admire in one way or another. Now granted, I started it off because I decided that’s what people who had blogs did – they had references to other sites to say “hey, see I know…

  • The Little Things

    Cathedral of St. John the DivineOriginally uploaded by Beth Doughty Not too long ago I received this e-mail on Flickr: Schmap East Coast Second Edition: Photo Inclusion Hi Beth, I am delighted to let you know that your submitted photo has been selected for inclusion in the newly released second edition of our Schmap East…

  • Father’s Day

    While some of you have “fathers”, “pops”, “old mans”, “dads”, I happen to have a “Daddy”. Despite some raised eyebrows because I’m many decades old, this is the name I have always called him and that he answers to, although it sounds more like “daddaa” than “da-dee”. (Look, I come by this honestly – my…

  • Old Friends

    I love all of my friends, but my hats off to my old friends. Those guys who have stuck around for years through good times and bad. These are the guys that have lost that new friend smell. You don’t have to sniff around conversations wondering what they think, whether they voted correctly or feel…

  • Sage

    As you can see, Sage survived. It was a miracle. First there was the uneventful yet some how perilous car ride (which involved a major “singing” protest). Next was the whole cleaning, IV-ing, and teeth extracting. Then more terror fraught car adventures and finally the food denial. “No Sage, I realize you’re hungry and GET…

  • Morning Antics

    Ok, so I’m woefully behind on posting. I have no “real” excuse, but I have some amazing half-baked excuses that work for me. (See, they work for me so I’m not sharing, you might go back to the whole “half baked” thing, which is a little judgemental. I’m a little hurt, actually.) In 2 minutes,…

  • The Sum of All Men

    One of the things I personally hate about bumping into people you haven’t seen in awhile is that one obligatory question you always get, “What have you been up to?” Which really amounts to about three questions: Are you married? Do you have kids? and What is your job? Some how these are the three…

  • Garage Sales

    My aunt, my aunt’s good friend Denise and my cousin are all garage sale pros and occasionally they let me tag along provided I’m willing to be reasonably functional and ready to go by 6:30 am. For me that means, getting up at 6, throwing on clothes and driving as fast as possible down the…

  • Prudish Funsucker

    WARNING: Adult Content I’m a prude. Oh sure, I have a fairly bawdy sense of humor and I can make sailor’s blush, but underneath the bad mouth coupled usually with some bad timing, is one of the most uptight people you could meet. I’m ok with that. I come by it honestly. You see, my…

  • Anna’s Arena

    Sneaky Anna, she’s snuck in some posts! Be sure to click on Anna’s Arena (psst, over there… to the right).

  • A Note to Scott

    Scott, I remember the first time I met you – and maybe we’d met before, but it was the first time I got into my head that “Scott is Daddy’s friend”. You were newly divorced, moving into a new place, Ben & I were playing something along the lines of Tarzan and Meghan, one of…

  • What I’ll Do for Indy

    They offered us four hours of leave if we walked 3.1 miles on Saturday. The exact amount of time I need so I can be in line for the first showing of the latest Indiana Jones movie when it comes out. I wouldn’t be a “geek” if I had allowed this kind of opportunity slip…

  • Tech Support

    I hate tech support and I’m pretty sure I’m not alone. By the time I’ve called tech support, I’ve unplugged, re-plugged, checked plugs, checked wires, swapped cables, rebooted, refreshed, recycled every thing I own attached to whatever it is that’s giving me grief – whether it’s the cable TV or the cable modem. Which means…

  • Bad Things/Good Things/Updates

    Life is a balance… Bad Things I lost my cell phone. My obnoxiously girly pink phone that plays the theme to Indiana Jones. A long time acquaintance finally succumbed to Cystic Fibrosis after a 41+ year battle. The IRS asked for a kidney this year. Why not, I have two! Big thanks to a former…
