I am truly sorry for your loss. I meant that sincerely. I know what it’s like to have such high hopes all season long then have those hopes crushed at the end. It’s frustrating and it’s sad. I mean….my dad cried a little when the game was over today. I know it’s just sports, [...]

My nephew David, adopted at birth by my sister and brother in law, is of Burma/Myanmar descent. His birth parents went back there shortly after he was born. That she chose to give him up for adoption and not take him back there with her is certainly a bit of profound fortune for him.

I decided to kill Faster Than The World rather than bring it back from hiatus.
If you were a reader of that site, thank you. It was a lot of fun while it lasted. Time and priorities ain’t what they used to be, though.
I feel like I just broke up with someone.
I need a good break [...]

Spent the day at a classic car show and a street fair.
There is something about a 72 (or ‘70 or ‘71) Chevelle SS that really gets my motor running, to make a weak pun. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: “You know how some guys feel when they see a picture of [...]

The daughter took this last night after we got everything lit up. The noise? Yes, it makes all that noise. Bear with the video, not the greatest quality all the way through but she did a good enough job with it that you can pretty much get the essence of the [...]

Staz asks: Why does my cat get so angry when I dress her up in an incredibly tight and constricting Harry Potter costume? I mean, cats love Halloween right?
Answer: Listen. I’m not going to tell you why she’s angry, because I think you know. All I’m going to say is that [...]

How many can you get? I got 30 out of 34. #29 is one of my favorite songs ever.
And I take exception to calling some of these “one hit wonders” but that’s just me.

Today we bought the last piece of Spookytown. We just finished landscaping it and now, our Spookytown is done.

Because I don’t have internet access here, but I do receive comments by email and I can post by email, I’ll need to answer your stupid questions (see first post of today) in new posts. I’ll do a few at a time.
Solonor asks: Do these pants make me look fat?
Answer: Yes. From the back, you might [...]

Well, I’m running a bit late today. So, something stupid. Literally.

Go ahead. Ask. I’ll do my best to answer them all.(I’m not really stealing his idea, I’m sharing it. I mean, he’s got seven million readers. I have 20. He’ll live).
