Enough time has passed and I feel the wounds aren’t fresh anymore. I can now write about this. It was March and Kate was turning 18. Lisa and I decided that a trip to Disney was warranted for such an occasion. We have that house down there, so Lisa went a week before us and … Continue reading Planes Trains and Automobiles (and Ubers)

Possessions
I know most of my posts are on the humorous side and some are even a bit absurd. I might take a different approach and talk about something a bit more serious. This might be a bit lengthy, but it’s something I am writing more for me. But you’re welcome to read. Something happened recently. … Continue reading Possessions
Many Differences
Differences can be big or small. Some might be inconsequential while others might be HUGE. In this post I will depart my wisdom, acquired over my 50 years of experience and observation. Well, that, and occasionally being yelled at … I’ve read the “Men Are From Mars and Women Are From Venus” book, and it’s … Continue reading Many Differences
Word Of The Day is ….. “Ugh”
It’s been a while since I posted anything – my apologies. Yes, I know, you turn on your laptop or you grab your phone hoping for my latest word, only to be disappointed. Sorry. I always have the best of intentions to take a few minutes out of my day to create a literary masterpiece, … Continue reading Word Of The Day is ….. “Ugh”
Opportunity Denied
Great opportunities don’t present themselves often.

A chance to be an original. Michelangelo could be, perhaps, the most … Continue reading Opportunity Denied

And They Shall Call Him “Moses”
I was stubborn. I fought it. But in the end, I decided I must embrace modern technology. I did so begrudgingly – it was not by choice, it was by necessity. Years ago, Google was still early in it’s world dominance, and smart phones were inching into our lives. But me, I still used the … Continue reading And They Shall Call Him “Moses”
The Ladies Man
*There will be some posts on here which were written years ago. I’ll be updating many of them to finally post. But these are not from my days of “Jim here” on my wife’s Facebook page. Oh yeah….. I’m a ladies man. In fact, I am such the ladies man that I got 3 … Continue reading The Ladies Man
Brussel Sprouts
I love to garden. Being outside, moving dirt around. SOIL - I forgot, in farming, we call it soil. A few years ago, I was out in the garden and my brussel sprouts just weren't ready to harvest yet. But I had a craving for the little guys. So after moving the SOIL around, I … Continue reading Brussel Sprouts

You ever have one of “those” days? You know, a day where you felt everyone was against you? Not just 1 or 2 people, but a day where it seemed EVERYONE was against you? A day where it seemed the entire country was against you? Yes, the entire country!!! I have. Why would the entire … Continue reading Public Enemy #1
