Where would be without music? Like everyone else in the world, I have a favorite song. I have many favorite songs. My playlist on my phone is a bit too long, and if I find myself hitting the forward button to get past a song, I’ll go back later and remove it. We started with … Continue reading MY TOP MUSIC LISTS

I Can’t Be A Vegan.
Making breakfast this morning: French toast, sausage, scrapple and eggs. I had a strange thought – what if I were a vegan, what would I eat. Sure, there are melons and assorted fruits, oatmeal, maybe pancakes if I don’t have to use eggs and/or milk. *sidenote* I have had gluten free pancake(ish) mix and … Continue reading I Can’t Be A Vegan.
The Airing of Grievances:
Sure. It’s July. I know that because it’s 1000 degrees outside. And though Festivus is a Holiday celebrated in the winter, I don’t want to wait until then. I feel I need to “Air My Grievances”. Feats of strengths may follow at a later date. Of “grievances” I have many. They range in degree of … Continue reading The Airing of Grievances:
A Cup is a Cup
I live in a house with 3 ladies. My wife who adores me and would do anything for me, and my two daughters who worship the very ground I walk on. Hey, this is my blog, and as the Blog Name suggests, it’s, “Because Jim Says”. The whole female thing is a mystery to me. … Continue reading A Cup is a Cup

The Story Of Biden
Biden came to us on a sunny winter day. We had recently lost a valued member of our family, our cat Gibbs, and grief stricken, Lisa said, “We have to get another cat right away”. But I said, “No. You don’t get a cat, a cat gets you”. Not long had past when Lisa found … Continue reading The Story Of Biden
The Little Kernel That Could
So ……. (Don’t you hate it when my posts start that way)? I’m popping popcorn and as I’m watching it spin around, I had a few thoughts. We have one of those countertop popping machines, oh yeah, we fancy here in Sumstine-land. I’m not sure if I feel badly for that kernel that didn’t pop, … Continue reading The Little Kernel That Could
Happy Pride Month
Gonna try to not be too political here. Sorry about that if I do. But it’s Pride Month – and yes, I acknowledge it, accept it and celebrate it. I had to look up what “PRIDE” stands for. Found out it’s: Professionalism, Respect, Integrity, Diversity and Excellence. Okay – who wouldn’t want to celebrate that? … Continue reading Happy Pride Month
Planes Trains and Automobiles (and Ubers)
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
