I was sitting in one of those not quite fast food, but not a place with waiters type restaurants last night. It was getting late and I was in a neighborhood I was not really familiar with. Here I am in this silly costume, wearing shorts and no facial hair. I am not sure what …
So, I wanted to participate in this fundraiser put on by the Movember Foundation, which is raising funds for and awareness of mens health issues, specifically prostate and testicular cancer. The catch was that you had to start off clean shaven, something I had not been since 1971! After a little thought, and talks with …
The mid-term elections are just around the corner. I had a long story ready to cut and paste here, but I was afraid some people would read it as being supportive of one party or another. I do not want to do that here. My photo for Project 365 today is of my outgoing mail. …
My loyal readers probably recall a post or two in which I mentioned that I had started using the Wii Fit. According to Wii I should weigh 167 pounds. Now, we all know that is never going to happen, and in fact, it would not even allow me to set that as a goal as …

28 years ago today, I became a father for the first time. I will never forget that day from the endless hours waiting for her to come out to getting splattered in the face with blood when I cut the umbilical cord. The doctor found that particularly funny. The nurses had to pry her from …
There is really nothing quite as irritating as waking up to problems. Especially problems that spider outwards to cause problems in multiple locations. Sunday was one of those days. Luckily, I have a smart and talented girlfriend and by the end of the day it was just a matter of playing the waiting game. My …
I swear, if I did not know better I would think I was somewhere other than home. I do not remember the last time we had such a wet October. My photo of the day for day 296 of Project 365 is Buddy’s point of view on another rainy morning walk.
If it is not one thing it is another would be a welcome relief. Instead it just keeps piling on. Sometimes ignorance is bliss. I guess I am glad that it is not all sun shiny and bright. It would totally conflict with my disposition. My picture of the day for Project 365 day 295 …
