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

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.

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

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
You Are Now Free To Move About the Cabin Another Slam Bam-Tastik Idea On my own personal slice of the internet, I will admit something: Sometimes… I drift.Sometimes… I exaggerate.Sometimes… I take a perfectly reasonable thought and drive it straight off a cliff into Absurdville. But not today. No no no. Today — we innovate. … Continue reading You Are Now Free To Move About the Cabin
