Had a conversation the other day. Well, it wasn’t a “conversation” in the normal sense of the word. You know — a conversation where two or more people are speaking. This was more of an internal dialogue I was having with… something else. Yes, something. Not someone. A fly. Ok, so here’s the deal. I … Continue reading What’s His Story?

I Must Confess
Let me start off by saying: “It meant nothing.” I mean it.Truly.It meant nothing. It was a one-time thing. I was by myself.I was in Florida.And it was hot. So, so hot. You were back home in Delaware.Hundreds of miles away.And I needed it. I needed it bad. Then I heard about this place.Someone mentioned … Continue reading I Must Confess
Forget Me Not
There are two types of people in this world: 1. People who forget things. 2. People who think they don’t forget things… but just forgot that they do. I, for one, like to stay humble… so I forget things constantly just to keep myself grounded. When I was young you couldn’t tell me anything. See, … Continue reading Forget Me Not
The Wait
You know how they say,“It’ll be worth the wait”? Spoiler alert… it’s usually not. The other day, I had to “take a sales call.”You know… THAT moment when the second cup of coffee and your kinda-sorta spicy lunch decide to tag team you. So off I go. Phew… made it in time. But dang… forgot … Continue reading The Wait
Do They Even Know
Tall people know they’re tall.Short people know they’re short. I’m old.And I know I’m old. “But you’re only as old as you feel.” Bite me. I’m old.And I know it. But stupid people…Do they know they’re stupid? MY GOD — that’s an entire BecauseJimSays post right there.It practically writes itself. But back to me. Because… … Continue reading Do They Even Know
Sneezy
There are some things about me you might not know.And then there are things you absolutely know… whether you wanted to or not. 1 example I am a loud sneezer. Not “oh, excuse me” loud.Not “polite tissue dab” loud. I’m talking:sonic boom meets gunshot meets small controlled explosion. And just when you think it’s over……it’s … Continue reading Sneezy
On a Serious Note:
Every once in a while, life taps you on the shoulder and says, “Hey… pay attention to this part.” The last three or four months have been full of those moments. For Christmas, my daughter Kate—20 at the time—gave me a gift she could barely contain her excitement over. And when she told me it … Continue reading On a Serious Note:
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
I’ve Been Had
But not just me. Nope. You’ve been had too. We’ve all been had. See, many years ago, decades even, the country needed something. We needed something to believe in. And we found something. Something big, something that gave us a strong belief, a feeling of strength and togetherness. And it made sense. It all made … Continue reading I’ve Been Had
When Less Isn’t More
I know the expression, “Less is More” and it’s an adage that I adhere to. When I go to buy a shirt, I don’t want to look at 35 different options, maybe 8 to 10 gives me a better visual for the shirt I want. Or, another example, I wear glasses. And when I need … Continue reading When Less Isn’t More
