Watching Paint Dry – Part II
I saw my first Donut Ambulance yesterday. Those of you who have a Hurts Donut Company near you may be familiar with their delivery vehicles and the opportunity to have donuts delivered to someone you love (or hate) by a scary clown. I’m assuming… Continue Reading “Watching Paint Dry – Part II”
The Shoe Sale
Occasionally, I’ll watch a cooking show on TV. The chef will combine a large number of hard-to-find ingredients then sauté, braise, broil, deep-fry, or bake the delicacy to perfection. It never turns out lopsided, burnt to a crisp, or looking like you scraped it… Continue Reading “The Shoe Sale”
Adventures in Camping
Let’s talk about bumper stickers. Either you love ‘em or hate ‘em, right? I like them best when they’re on the back of someone else’s car. One of my favorites reads; “The weather is here. Wish you were beautiful.” Other popular options brag about… Continue Reading “Adventures in Camping”
Tour Guide at Belton Sanitarium
The Washington County Fair opened yesterday. I suppose the reason they call it a Fair is because it’s only slightly above ho-hum, average at best. It would be nice if they held an exposition that was knock-your-socks-off fantastic, but I guess we don’t want… Continue Reading “Tour Guide at Belton Sanitarium”
The ?FoneIX and MeTube
I’ve just returned from Little Rock where Dr. John Dornhoffer laid over my right ear and replaced my pea-sized brain with one the size of a marble. So far, the results have been fantastic (except for the excessive rattling). My muse has returned full… Continue Reading “The ?FoneIX and MeTube”
Enlightenment
Let’s talk about emotions for a moment. How do you deal with anger? Some people scream and curse, some eat chocolate, others get even. Revenge has never served me well, even when dished out at sub-zero temperatures. I generally blow off steam by firing… Continue Reading “Enlightenment”
Hard Knocks U.
Connie sent me a text this morning stating that she’d stumbled across a list of best humor writers on the internet and that I was rated number sixty-seven. Let’s hope none of those above me are mimes. That would be embarrassing. I also assume this… Continue Reading “Hard Knocks U.”
My Daughter, the Writer
For about two and a half decades, our daughter, Greta, has been an avid reader. As a teenager she would devour a 600 page novel faster than Buster (our dog) could eat a Milk Bone doggie biscuit. Occasionally, she’d share a little something she’d written for… Continue Reading “My Daughter, the Writer”
Body of Evidence
My wife is one of those people who buys a gift for someone then can’t wait to give it to them. It’s like the item is a hot potato and burns a hole in her hands if she holds it too long. Fifteen minutes… Continue Reading “Body of Evidence”
Purchase ‘One Idiot Short of a Village’
Purchase ‘The Perils of Heavy Thinking’
