Trying to find some sort of a connection in a story involving a former president, a $13,000 cruise on the Mississippi River, a book sale and armadillo might seem a little bit shaky at best.
Oh, well. Here we go...
Happy belated birthday wishes to former President Jimmy Carter. CNN reported that Mr...
The Rocky Raccoon Magical Mystery Tour rolled right up to our front porch a couple of times last week...and made another appearance a block or so away over the weekend...
If you happen to be of a “certain age,” you may be familiar with the song “Rocky Raccoon,” which was sung by some obscure...
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.

Bob and I were sitting on the porch swing last Sunday evening in the 94 percent humidity. The air we were attempting to breath was as thick as the proverbial pea soup. You really could see the air.
At the time, I was trying to figure out something at least vaguely interesting to write about for...
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...”
