Have a slice

I meant to post this yesterday, so consider this ... leftovers. March 14. 3.14. Pi Day! While a good slice of pie is delicious, it is also one of the great comedic elements of our time. Think about it, a pie in the face is always funny! Many comedians knew this and there are plenty … Continue reading Have a slice →

Weekend Business

My last blog was a "throwaway." I've had a lot going on, yet I was struggling to find something to write about. I stepped away for a couple days and now I have a few things worth sharing. We Have a Street! They finally blacktopped the street this weekend! They finished the driveways and sidewalks … Continue reading Weekend Business →

“Get Off My Lawn!”

The construction continues on our street. That in itself is bad enough. They have pretty much ripped out all of the concrete from the street itself. They had removed all the sidewalks from the other side of the street early in the project. This week, they began ripping up not only our sidewalk, but our … Continue reading “Get Off My Lawn!” →

Post Weekend Update & Trivia

Before I get into the events of the weekend, I thought I'd throw a funny Jeopardy question your way. The answer, which will be easy for those who follow this blog, will appear at the end of this post. Saturday morning was nice. The entire family spent the morning together. At one point, Sam, the … Continue reading Post Weekend Update & Trivia →

A Big “Thank You” to “Mr. Puppet”

I believe the saying goes "A stranger is a friend you haven't met yet!" Thanks to this blog and social media, I have been able to connect with some friends who I have never met face to face. One of those friends is Mr. Puppet. A few days ago, I posted a blog about random … Continue reading A Big “Thank You” to “Mr. Puppet” →

Brakes – Broke!

It wasn't too long ago that my father-in-law, my brother-in-law, and I worked on the brakes on my car. Recently, I began to hear grinding on one of the back brakes. It was just the one and there was no indication that the pads were going before it began grinding. If you are familiar with … Continue reading Brakes – Broke! →

Friday Photo Flashback

Time for another Friday Photo Flashback. This time around I'm taking you to my room....circa 1990. The shelf you are looking at sat above my bed (a waterbed...lol). Above it was another shelf with the globe my grandmother had got me for Christmas, some ceramic pieces my mom made me and a few other things. … Continue reading Friday Photo Flashback →

Front Porch Fixin’

I am not a handyman. I'm sure that I have mentioned this fact many times. So when my wife came to me and said she was worried about the front porch, we both knew who to call. Our front porch has felt "soft" for some time. Sam (and I) were worried that our mail carrier … Continue reading Front Porch Fixin’ →

A Plumber I Am Not

Friday night I was at work and I got a text from my wife. It went something like this: Sam: So there's a leak in the shower. Me: It's probably the shower head. That's an easy fix. I'll look at it when I get home. Sam: It's not the shower head, it is leaking by … Continue reading A Plumber I Am Not →

BuzzzzzzzKKKK! Whoops!

Britta, a blogger friend of mine, just blogged that her mom used to cut her hair as a kid. You can read her blog here: https://wordpress.com/read/feeds/110737174/posts/3967709465 She mentioned the dreaded "Bowl Cut." When I think of that, my mind immediately goes to Moe from the Three Stooges. Really, he is the only one I think … Continue reading BuzzzzzzzKKKK! Whoops! →
