I don’t wish to offend anyone or upset their beliefs, but I think it’s time we let a little reality soak into religious worship habits.
I remember attending church with my wife once when her Bible study class was into a lengthy discussion of whether a particular verse in the Bible contained this word or that [...]
Having agreed to cover the wings of an Ercoupe for a friend who runs the Marion airport, I began running down some of the supplies that I would need. This morning’s shopping list included a couple of high quality, pure bristle paintbrushes, a quantity of “throw away,” one-inch bristle brushes and a gallon of [...]
Yesterday morning at breakfast, I skimmed through a new motorcycle toy catalog and ran across the gloves that I usually wear. I was surprised to see that they had upgraded the gloves with some pretty significant changes; carbon fiber replaced the old leather pad across the knuckles and the overall construction was different.
I thought no [...]
(As well as additional proof that I’m a Sweet Guy)
Wakeup calls this morning seemed to come pretty regular - and repeatedly - and early.

This will have to be a short post, as I have to get out and buy a supply of AAA batteries for the tape recorders I am using in my non-divergent conceptual loop. I should probably replenish our supply of Tylenol while I’m at it, too.

The highlights of this Easter weekend began with accompanying my wife over to our daughter’s to drop off some leftover pasta [...]
Good grief! If it doesn’t stop soon, I’m gonna have to find out what a cubit is. . .
After some 15 hours of steady rain (now extended to 38 and continuing) I emailed this photo to my brother.
He responded with a brief narrative of his own rain-induced woes of a failed basement [...]
As you know, my family has been in Costa Rica for two weeks. Thought I’d share an email or two that I sent her - gives you a rough idea of what I’ve been up to.

In my living alone research, I find it rather odd that most household appliance/convenience items are not correctly [...]
Ultimate Cage Fighting light heavyweight champ, Quinton Jackson’s reign is about to come to a screeching halt. I am about to take his place.
Following in the footsteps of Daniel Larusso, I have just completed the grueling training regime as prescribed by the master himself, Noriyuki Morita.
Wax On! Wax Off!
As my family spent the last [...]
