pants pants pants squirrel!
Well, I did it again. I washed my pants last night and forgot to put them in the dryer this morning after I finished setting up the coffee pot. The whole time I’m in the shower I’m thinking to myself, “Pants in the dryer, pants in the dryer…,” and the whole time I’m drying myself… Read.

nasal astronaut
Yes, that’s a posable astronaut doll and he is picking my nose. The only explanation I can offer is that, when our family packed up our truck-top camper every Christmas to leave the frozen north on our annual vacation to southern climes, my brother and I would ride in the part of the camper over… Read.

wayback week
My brother Pete declared that this week would be Wayback Week and challenged all his Facebooking friends to replace their profile picture with photos of themselves from way back in the day. Here’s what I came up with last night. It’s from the first time I was stationed in England, but I don’t remember any… Read.

All the armies of Europe, Asia and Africa combined, with all the treasure of the earth (our own excepted)… Read.

obliterated
I don’t know how I did it, but I am caught up! I was so far behind in the growing pile of work that completely obliterated my desk every day that I was sure I’d still be working on it after the new year, but no! Somehow between the phone calls and other requests for… Read.

all the answers
Hard as life must be for Richard “Shoe Bomber” Reed, who got pinned with the dumbest terrorist nickname ever, not to mention that goofy photo, no amount of away time and psychoanalysis is going to let Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab live down the sobriquet “Underwear Bomber.” That’s gotta suck. Let’s listen in to Fox News Network… Read.

Christmas card
Who the heck is that guy in the back? It’s like I’m this guy who happened to be walking past and I saw these three posing for a photo so I ducked in behind them quick before they could stop me, stopped long enough to glance at the camera and then, maybe, I got lucky… Read.

Christmas letter
We were supposed to be on our way to Mom’s place this morning to share a Christmas dinner with her, but the weather isn’t cooperating. Although yesterday we experienced what was very nearly a heat wave, the temp up to forty-six and rain melting all the snow we got last week, after the sun set… Read.
