Jim's Take
Category: That Guy
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. So, you know the story behind the 1986 movie “The Fly”. Seth Brundle, the scientist, created a teleportation … Continue reading Curses.
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
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.
The pain was real. The wound was deep. But the scar ….. Was the first bite just a lesson? Or was it an initiation? Did you feel the need to test me? To see if I am worthy? I thought we had something. We had a kinship. We had an understanding. We were brothers? Blood … Continue reading Just a test?
“I got a bad attitude about this”. That’s one of our new favorite sayings around the Sumstine house. Lisa’s work husband (who shall remain nameless but most people who know us know who he is) said this about somethings that he was anticipating and he already new he didn’t like what was about to go … Continue reading Bad Attitude
NOTHING !!! It’s 7:02 am on Monday and why am I at my computer instead of working? Well…… I pride myself on never being late. Lisa too. One thing we have tried to instill upon our daughters is to never be late. It’s a trait we consider rude. It means you think your time is … Continue reading The Early Bird Gets ….
