Sunday Bag o’ Flats
Do they not know I have a blog?
Thursday Bag o’ Slack
Not sure whether we’re in the storm or the calm before. I knew January was going to be a busy month: friends and family are scheduled to visit nearly every week and I’m working double shifts at the air museum. There are three Hash House Harrier club events in January, plus a book club meeting. […]
Happy Undead New Year
Number one daughter Polly called this morning seeking my counsel and support. She and her boyfriend David have been arguing about zombies. She says zombies are slow and eat only human brains. He says they’re fast, eat flesh as well as brains, and have even been known to eat animals. I agree with my daughter […]
Xmas in the Rearview
Bloggers always say they’re too busy to post during the holidays. I wanted to use that excuse, but it wouldn’t have been exactly true. It’s more that I wanted to be social and spend time with my family than isolate myself in the office to write. Things are getting back to normal now and here […]

Until you realize there are […]
Monday Bag o’ Vapors
It’s Monday, time for another mixed bag of topics I want to address before I forget about them, but which taken alone don’t rate blog posts of their own. ——————– My daughter switched from cigarettes to e-cigarettes about a year ago. We never let her smoke in our house, but one day I walked into […]
Putting the X Back in Xmas
I should be working on our annual Christmas letter. Instead, I’m blogging. Annual Christmas letter. How redundant. Christmas is an annual event, no? Let’s just agree to call it our annual letter. Or, Fox News be damned, our Xmas letter. Speaking of, the TVs at the gym were all set to Fox News this morning. I […]
