  • Friends

    Recently, I was having a discussion with a friend over what makes an “acquaintance” versus a “friend” and while we both could go down a list of names and agree that so-and-so was a friend while so-and-so was an acquaintance, we couldn’t quite find a clear line that put a person more solidly in one…

  • 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…

  • 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.

    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…

  • 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…
