I'm working on a post now, but it's not ready yet. Might be a few days. Sometimes my thoughts get a little weird and it's difficult to decipher them into written form. Until then I'll leave you with something that occurred to me today. Kind of a "Random Thought", but that was a week ago, … Continue reading OH NO !!!

Random thoughts:
I sometimes think stupid stuff. Not all the time, but sometimes. As you might have noticed on my blog, there are various topic categories. I'm going to post this under "Ramblings". Although I'm not going to ramble on about any one specific thought. I could, trust me. These are more of a Hit-And-Run. These aren’t … Continue reading Random thoughts:
I’m Not Ready Yet !!!
Jeez….. I had to shake my head to make sure I was still functioning. Did that just happened? I came out of the bathroom speechless. I was kind of in a bit of shock actually – but yes, I was speechless. You know me right? Well, you might not “know” me, but hopefully you’ve learned … Continue reading I’m Not Ready Yet !!!
Let Them Eat Cake (Balls)
My oldest daughter is a freshman in college. We speak with her almost daily, Lisa more than I. It’s great to hear the stories and tales of her dorm and college life. What’s amazing is the food she’s eating. She’s on the campus meal plan and they have the standard cafeteria set-up. But they also … Continue reading Let Them Eat Cake (Balls)
Who Did That:
I salute American Exceptionalism. But It’s not limited to American – somethings are universal and many things I thought it might have been created/invented in America, nope, they were not. Lisa loves watching Shark Tank (me too). Many are inventions, while others are improvements of something already made or perhaps a different type of an … Continue reading Who Did That:
WHAT DAY IS IT?
Why, it's NATIONAL COFFEE DAY!!!!! Many different ways to drink coffee. MANY WAYS. Me, I like 1 packet of Splenda, French vanilla coffee creamer and if I had to pick a specific coffee, I’d pick Berry Much from a small independent local roaster Swell Joe. Order it and tell them “Jim sent you”. If you … Continue reading WHAT DAY IS IT?
8th Grade Now and Then
One daughter in college and the other in 8th grade. 8th grade now is WAY different now then it was then, you know, when I was in 8th grade. I barely remember it. I don’t remember a single teacher. Her 8th grade is the top grade in Middle School. My 8th grade was the top … Continue reading 8th Grade Now and Then
The Year That Was – 1965
The #1 song in 1965 was Wooly Bully. Okay – we’ve had many MANY achievements since 1965 but perhaps the best advancement is better music. Wooly Bully. Really? Thankfully music has made leaps and bounds since then. Because, seriously, Wooly Bully? 1965 had loads of good things happen. I’ll number things to make it easier … Continue reading The Year That Was – 1965
Viva La France
Does your mind ever just wander. Mine does. Just the other night I was taking the recycling to the curb and I started thinking about the difference between Vanilla Ice Cream and French Vanilla Ice Cream. I don’t know. While regular Vanilla Ice Cream is more of a white color, the French Vanilla Ice Cream … Continue reading Viva La France
Can I get a witness
Not only am I often “That Guy”, but all too often I am “That Guy” in front of friends, family and often total strangers. And our infamous cottage has often been the scene of many of my most memorable moments. Such was the case one night in early to mid August in 2004 (I think). … Continue reading Can I get a witness
