Nothing ever happens around here...
Excuse me for just a moment...
I sat down a few minutes ago to craft this week’s masterpiece...and managed to get a sentence or two out of the way when I heard a clatter out on the front porch...
With flashlight in hand, I looked out the “front” door, which is...
August has been a good time to take a walk or two...
Then again, I pretty much see each and every day as a good day for a walk.
For the most part, my walks are rather predictable, at least in terms of the places the journey takes me. With that being said, I did embark on a couple of adventures...
Sometimes, when a little bit of inspiration might be needed, all you have to do is look up in the sky.
That’s what I did several times during the past week or so, which meant that I got to see a supermoon...one lonely meteor...and a colorful sunset on a nice summer evening in August.
Maybe you...
Bob was not a happy camper. Somehow, Bob got a look at the column which yours truly had written for this week. I did not know he had computer skills, but it did not surprise me.
Honestly, I do not know how or when he found the original column for this week. Cats are like that, though. Just when you...
So much to write about. That, I suppose, is a good thing. So little time. Maybe not so good.

This week, we’re going to be kind of short and sweet... we’ll start with a math problem...
74 plus 84 equals...an unpleasant evening sitting on the porch swing.
At the time...about 9 p.m. Wednesday, July 6, the humidity was 74 percent, according to the fancy, high-tech thermometer on our front...
For no particular reason, let’s start this week with a couple of “interesting” headlines I happened to see scrolling through the BBC News app on Monday...
“Root hits 50 as England pass 200-3, chasing 378...”
“North Korea claims Covid arrived on ‘alien things...”
I wonder if the two news stories...
Wandering around in the dark, an encounter with an unexpected critter and a well-fed varmint highlighted your writer’s otherwise dull and relatively uneventful Journey Through Life during the past week...
Before we get to the “good stuff,” just a couple of thoughts about our late, great primary...
On the first day of summer...weather prognosticators gave to me...temperatures that didn’t look like they were going to be as hot as had been expected...and didn’t look like they were going to be as hot as they were last week.
Before we chat about the weather...did you happen to see that a shrink-...
