This Is My Serious Face
Found! The lost passport photos! I was moving some boxes from one corner of the basement to another and ran across a couple small boxes I didn’t recognize. Opening them up to see what the hell was in them I found a treasure trove of trinkets kept as keepsakes from all over the world and… Read.

How’s That Again?
I’m puzzled by the confusion my dream posts have caused. You really can’t tell the difference between posts in which I am menaced by cotton balls or am being chased by outer-space aliens from the banal squibs describing my everyday life? Are my dreams really so sensibly drab that they appear to be episodes of… Read.

A Man, A Plan, So Banal – Bananaman!
My goals for today are very modest: First, I want to stay warm. That will require a great deal of remaining indoors, preferably on the couch in the living room, wrapped up in a quilt with a piping hot cuppa close by, because there’s some kind of Arctic air thingy hanging over our heads that’s… Read.

Are You Following Me?
I grabbed my water bottle from the bottom drawer of my desk where I keep all my snacks stashed and headed for the break room to fill it up. As I turned into the hallway I could see there was a guy standing outside the door of the break room chatting with someone on his… Read.

Not Giving You Any Shirt!
Space aliens! I was being chased by space aliens all night! And what did they want from me? Did they need me to complete an act of betrayal that would give them the entire world? Did they want to suck my soul out through my eyeballs? Did they want to make me their uranium-mining slave?… Read.

Happy Monday
When I got to the office yesterday morning I set my bag down next to my desk, as I do every morning, hung up my hat and coat, sat down in my chair and opened the file cabinet drawer where I’ve kept my shoes ever since those first merry flakes of winter cheer forced me… Read.

Weekend Fun
And so ends a lovely three-day weekend we filled by reading books and watching videos. I’m still working on A Crack In The Edge Of The World, Simon Winchester’s history of the San Francisco earthquake, only he’s so into geology it’s more like a history of the entire planet’s geological past. Seriously, he goes all… Read.

More More More
My earworm for the past friggin week, maybe even longer than that, has been “More, More, More” by The Andrea True Connection. Where the hell did that come from? I didn’t like that song when it was popular, I never had a copy of the single or the album, nobody ever plays it on the… Read.

Conspiracy Theory
So there I was, down on my hands and knees scrubbing brown fungus out of the cracks between the floor tiles. I had a portable radio tuned to the local oldies station and cranked up loud so I could sing along with Pat Benatar on Hit Me With Your Best Shot, a song that I… Read.

Where? When? Why?
I found my library card! Oh Happy Day! I don’t remember exactly when I noticed it was missing from my wallet, but I haven’t been able to lay hands on it for quite a few weeks now. You can see how much attention I pay to the stuff in my wallet. As it turned out,… Read.
