All I ever did as a kid was play outdoor games. Almost any game would do. Preferably a sport that included a ball. There, too, almost any size and shape of ball would fit the bill. Give me a ball, a couple of friends and our afternoon was set. Weather was a non-issue. Hell, a […]

As I go about my days, there’s rarely a moment that goes by when I don’t have some form of music going through my head. It doesn’t have to be a particular song, it just has to be a melody, or a rhythm, or a sound that reminds me of something in my past or […]

I have no pets. There was only one time in my life when there was an animal in our family home and it was between when I was 15 & 18, or there about. Our dog, or at least it appeared to be of the canine variety, was angry. Angry at all times. He was […]

Having grown up in northern Wisconsin I’ve always had the opportunity to celebrate the changing of the seasons. Each one has it’s merits but for me, summer is chief. Simply put, the warmer the better. I loath most days that begin and end in darkness with only sub-zero temperatures in between. There’s no doubt that […]

Hey! Are you out there? I’m back. My absence was unintentional but I gotta say that I’ve been redefining just what the hell I wish to write about. When I began this blog, my purpose was to write daily, or at least every few days on current topics so I could get a few responses […]

I was sitting in a local watering hole the other morning and as I was sipping on a crisp beverage of my choice, I gazed around the knotty-pine decor to take in all that was entertaining to me. Granted, it was 6:45 AM and I had just finished my eight-hour shift at the P.O. so […]

Hey people, how’s your summer? Over I suppose. Tough break. As is mine. I had a thought the other day after I received a photo of my nephew sans his dental braces … damn he looked good! It was then that I went back in time and tried to recollect my feelings when it was […]

Hey people, it’s been a while. Excuses are only that, so I’ll go no further as to why my delays in writing. Onward. Here we are, in the down-side of the wilting, summer days and I have a confession for you all: I can’t stand parades. Parades are a summer staple in our state and, […]
