Honestly folks...you can’t say that you weren’t warned about the image of the snake, which we will get back to in just a bit...
...just because I can’t think of anything else to call this week’s adventure, we’re going with Close Encounters of the Critter Kind. Actually, make that Critters. As in a...
As promised, this week is Part 2 of your writer’s sort of adventures in Southern Illinois.
Last week, in Part 1, as you may recall, was about goats and cliffs and other such things. In Part 2, we intentionally go looking for snakes. Really. “We” would be a visitor we welcomed over the Labor Day...
A couple of weeks ago, we welcomed a special visitor from the north. Since we had a visitor, we decided to go on an adventure or two.
Actually, I’m not sure that “adventure” would be the right word for what we did. Adventure implies some sort of derring-do. Heroes go on adventures. We did not do...
Due to the big holiday on Monday, those of us who toil at The Paragraph Factory once again had to adjust our deadlines.
That meant yours truly had to come up with another not-an-award-winning column on Thursday. Because Thursday was Friday. Or, maybe Monday. Friday became Monday. Monday was what...
Over the weekend, my brain waves froze. Seems like I came down with a bad case of the rockin’ pneumonia. Or some other ailment that might give a person the boogie, woogie blues.

This week...we bring you a sequel: “Stupid Is, As Stupid Does – Episode 2: The Return of the Pain...”
...and, if we get around to it, you’ll get a bit of an explanation about the photographs of the birds.
You may, or may not, recall that a couple of weeks ago, your writer, for reasons unknown,...
Goodness...how is this possible? Here we are, on the 25th day of July...2019 keeps moving along at a much faster pace than necessary...
A week from today, August will make what most likely will be pretty much of an unheralded arrival. For those of us here at The Paragraph Factory, August brings the...
“Stupid is as stupid does.” And a box of chocolates wouldn’t have helped much. The chocolates just would have melted.
