Miscellaneous things that I post. Could be deep. Could be shallow. Could be sad. Could be funny. Might even be true.
There is a roll of insulation in my attic. It’s sitting there, packaged nice and neat, doing almost no good at all. Still rolled up tight in it’s original wrapper, it provides no insulating value. And it’s been that way for two years. When I bought it, I fully intended to take it to the […]
I have seen the giant Sequoia trees, but I’ve never seen the one who planted them. I have seen the Painted Desert, but I’ve never seen the one who brushed it’s colors. I have seen the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, but I’ve never seen the one who filled them. I have seen the light and
We woke up this morning to 6 inches of snow. For many people, that’s not a big deal. For folks in Atlanta GA, it’s a big deal. We don’t often see that much snow, and when we do, it causes a major disruption in lifestyle. In Georgia, we’re really not prepared for snow. Our fleet of
I have been on many rides at many amusement parks but the wildest ride I ever went on was at a place called Fair Park in Nashville, TN. The late, great, Fair Park was closed down years ago.

This week-end has ended and I am still alive. It is as I had expected, but not as I feared. I feared I might fall to my death. I expected to do what needed to be done without major incident. I am glad my expectations won out and my fear of heights once again proved
I went to Olla Louisiana last week. It’s a little place, a very little place, in the middle of the state. I was there for a business trip, but I took some binoculars with me because I figured I might get to see some stars at night. After all, Olla is a long way from
I looked three times for something last night. I looked three times in the same place. I was almost sure that’s where it was, but three times and I still couldn’t find it? So I looked elsewhere. I still couldn’t find it, until this morning. This morning I got a flashlight and looked for the
