Jim's Take
Author: Big Jimmy
I consider myself a smart man. By smart, I mean that when presented with a solvable problem, I can (usually) figure it out. Give me a physics equation, then, odds are - no. But those aren’t solvable to the normal person on the street. With a set of plans, I can build stuff. Or, when … Continue reading Another Mystery
Curses to Jeff Goldblum. Or is it curses to Seth Brundle? Either/Or – CURSES !!! It’s all starting to come together and now I need to figure out whether to embrace it or try and stop it.

Just an add-on to my list of things you should not do. #6 – when you are finished with your at home breakfast of pancakes and sausage and you have left over syrup, DO NOT try to put it back into the syrup container. It makes a mess. You’re welcome
As I made my breakfast this morning I had to take a second to ponder a thought. Well, it was actually more than a second – I stood there in deep thought. See, there are many questions that we’ll just never answer. What came first, the chicken or the egg? What is Heaven like? These … Continue reading It’s A Mystery
It started out being such a nice bonding moment. Kate and Chalotte and me, the dad, out to run errands and get things done. We left Milton on the way to Milford, then to Harrington, then Bridgeville and then back home to Milton. Just a dad out with his daughters as Mom stayed home. We … Continue reading Girl Dad Blues

I also thought Duncan Hines was a company made up of two people: Mr. Hines … Continue reading Let Them Eat Cake
There are certain things you shouldn’t do. Recently I saw a list on-line about things you shouldn’t do, but they were all so serious. You know, things like: Don’t lie to yourself, don’t take people for granted and all that serious stuff. But what about real life situations. This isn’t stuff not to do just … Continue reading No Means NO !!!
Charlotte, or as Lisa likes to often refer to her as, “Jim Jr.”, is literally my partner in crime. No – we are not Bonnie and Clyde going on a murderous rampage – but we do go out and have fun. Has anyone reading this heard Arlo Guthrie Jr performing “Alice’s Restaurant Massacre”? If not … Continue reading My Partner In Crime.
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. And I’m not sure if I feel badly for that kernel that didn’t pop, or if I admire him. Here’s this little guy - he’s … Continue reading So ……. (Don’t you hate it when my posts start that way)?
This morning I had to get out early. I had things to do and I needed to be home by 8:00 So I was at a Surf Bagel in Lewes by 6:30 to drop something off and get the Sumstine ladies bagels. Then I needed to get air in one of my tires, so I … Continue reading It’s Time To Switch It Up.
