Santa Claus ….. The Easter Bunny ….. The Tooth Fairy …. See, these are plausible. Believable even. As a young boy growing up in the 60s and 70s, I was raised in a culture to believe in things that I couldn’t understand. But I knew it. I just knew it. If Santa Claus didn’t exist … Continue reading All These Years

Reality Strikes Again
I drive by a house on my work to work a lot lately. It’s a nice house on a nice plot of land. It’s around a farm, so it’s possible these people farm the land, not sure. In the front yard of the home, they proudly fly their Confederate Flag. I’m a staunch proponent of … Continue reading Reality Strikes Again
The Good ‘Ole Days
I’ve always been fascinated by history. Not just people and places, but I’m also fascinated by where something came from. Maybe it’s an object or something that happened and I want to know the origin of where it came from. Or perhaps it’s a phrase that we use in our own culture. As you might … Continue reading The Good ‘Ole Days
Opposites Attract
But …. Do they? Sure, Paula Abdul sang the song “Opposites Attract”, but do they? Let’s think about magnets. Yes, these opposites do indeed attract. But not only do the opposites attract, the same like polls will actually push away from each other. The other day I was driving, it was just me and the … Continue reading Opposites Attract
There Are Rules
We live in a society of rules. When rules aren’t followed, the general framework of daily life breaks down. I’m not talking about laws. Laws are different. Laws are written down and more importantly, if laws are not followed, then there are consequences and punishments. Rules are a different breed. No, I don’t know what … Continue reading There Are Rules
Alas, It’s Time
It’s time I accept it. I called destiny – and it did not take my call. Perhaps it’s just not my time. Maybe I wasn’t meant for greatness. Or, greatness in the super hero sense of the word. I think my ordinary life is pretty great. But I had been led to think there was … Continue reading Alas, It’s Time
All In a Day’s Work
A dad wears many hats in his day-to-day life. But in the end, what it all comes down to is keeping his family safe. Whether they know it or not, I do my best to surround them with a hedge of protection. And being a dad, I listen to the doctors and scientists and I … Continue reading All In a Day’s Work
Update
Lots going on these days. Sometimes I have random thoughts and other times I have actual updates on already made posts. My random thoughts might not be deserving of their own posts – so I try and group them together to make it easier for my valued readers to digest. Update 1 – Still no … Continue reading Update
To Make Your Head Hurt
A while back I wondered about what makes a bad person a “bad person”. Does 1 bad act make someone a “bad person”? If so - how does one redeem themselves? Is the adverse the same? Does 1 good selfless act make someone a “good person”? So many questions? What might be considered a … Continue reading To Make Your Head Hurt
You Are Now Free To Move About the Cabin
Another Slam Bam-Tastik Idea On my personal slice of the WWW, I will admit, I can be a little unrealistic and might even venture into absurdity. But not this time. I was on the ladder repairing drywall on a ceiling and a song came from my playlist that I have always liked: “Waitress in the … Continue reading You Are Now Free To Move About the Cabin
