Welcome 2008!!!!
December 30, 2007

NEWSFLASH: I will turn 49 this year.
My God!!
How did this happen? WHEN did it happen????
I asked these questions this morning when I realized that I’ll be reaching one year away from the half century mark this April (and that’s April 22nd by the way….mark your calenders. I want good stuff this year!!) [...]

The New Boots
December 28, 2007

I was always very fond of my great aunt and uncle. Aunt Edna was my mom’s aunt, my grandmother’s youngest sister. Since my Nanny died when I was six, Aunt Edna had become my surrogate grandmother. She’d been married to Uncle Hal since Creation and since they had no kids [...]

I Know How This Day Ends
December 25, 2007

Was it a good Christmas?
The last present is unwrapped.
The food is put away and the dishes are done.
The last guest is gone.
And suddenly, save for one television set in a another room, quiet permeates the house. You can actually feel the energy as it wanes. It’s like the last swirls of water [...]

How Baseball Failed America
December 16, 2007

I will be the first to admit, I don’t know that much about baseball.
I’ve been to a number of games and yes, there’s an excitement in watching the pros do it bigger and badder than anyone else, but I have to tell you, I think this steroid controversy is killing America’s past time.
I’ve [...]

Things You’ll Never Hear Me Say
December 14, 2007

I am no different than any other human being.
I have my likes and dislikes…my turn ons and turn offs. I possess certain idiosyncrasies that are, as the mere word implies, my own.
I like being me. I haven’t always been able to say that, but I can say that now.
I love my blog. [...]

What REALLY Irks Me.
December 13, 2007

 
Wanna know what irks me? What gets in my psyche and stays there? What shifts my focus to it and it alone and then teeters on becoming annoyingly, blindingly “obsessive”???
To you, the gist of my ire might be considered petty or ridiculous. I might even be construed as shallow after you read this. [...]

Body Ink and Hardware
December 12, 2007

Remember this book?
The Illustrated Man is a book of eighteen short stories–each with a sci-fi premise and penned by”The Master of Sci-saster”, Mr. Ray Bradbury . Each story explores the nature of humankind. While none of the stories have a plot or character connection with the next, a [...]

A Dog’s Prayer
December 11, 2007

Dear God,
My name is Rover. I am a dog and one of your creatures. I just wanted to say thank you for a myriad of things for which I am most grateful.
Yeah, I know it’s highly unlikely that a lowly canine like me could ever, would ever close my eyes, lift [...]

Kosher Dating
December 9, 2007


A friend of mine, sent this to me not long ago.
These are actual personal ads that have appeared in several different Israeli newspapers and they’re real, too–honest to Elijah!
I’m still disappointed that so few of my Gentile friends understand the comedy in these ads.
Feh–the funny is wasted on Goyim! It’s [...]

What’s up
December 9, 2007

I’m feeling a might puny these days.  … Therefore, I’m currently in San Antonio doing what Bachman Turner Overdrive lyrically compelled me to do in song back in the mid 70’s…”I’m taking care of business”.    I’ll be back up and around in a few days.   The new post about Jewish dating was published a few days [...]
