Looking over the years of posts, I see that we don’t usually mention much to do with Remembrance Day right on the day. So I thought I’d write something I was thinking about. I’ll never forget what happened the year I was picked to play Last Post and Reveille at our school assembly and then …

Thoughts of All Shapes And Sizes
I wanted to write a blog post about random things, but I’m not as cool as R. She can create something out of absolutely nothing and make it look so easy…and hilarious. Me, I need a list. Then I can go nuts. You know in those commercials for osteoporosis drugs where they say that rarely, …
The Service
Well, I made it through my cousin’s service yesterday…although I can’t say the same for several kleenexes. Poor dad, I blew through his entire stash, and he had to get more! Poor, poor dad. The church was jam packed full of people, so much so that the minister had to go get more chairs. There …
What A Week, What A Stupid, Stupid Week
So yeah…it’s been a while, like almost a week since you’ve all heard from me. don’t worry, I have excuses. In fact, excuses are the only reason I’m bothering to write something at all. The short version of the where have I been story can be summed up in 3 words. This week sucked. I …
What The Hell In A Cell And J.P. Strikes Out
Hi there! Not sure how long or good this post is going to be, I just wanted to write something to get myself back in the swing of things now that I think I’m ok again. I was laid low by what I believe was some less than friendly salad dressing and perhaps something that …

Watch The Watch…Or the Bird…Or the Watch…Or the Bird…
A while ago, I mentioned the infamous incident with a room-mate and a talking watch, and I said that I had to tell that story at some point. I feel like telling it today. I believe it was a spring day, and we were all doing stuff to do with school or cleaning the house. …

Large Babble-Fest Comin’ Your Way
It’s been a little while since I’ve talked about whatever I wanted without a singular focus, and the mood struck me to do it, so here I am. Mother Nature is a miserly old witch this year. She gave us a short summer, and then, right on schedule, brought the fall! There is something in …
What We Learned On Our Journey To VC Version 2.0
Woohoo! Why am I cheering? Because most of our work to update our blog and bring it into the present is over! Yeah! Actually, all the work on the current stuff is done. Now there are just things we want to do. And no blog posts were harmed in the implementing of this new design. …

Rat Bastards!
I love Snopes. Just when I think I have no ideas for posts, something floats my way from there. Just such a thing is this legend about rats. One of the things it says is this: Speaking of predictions of harm befalling particular individuals, rats gnawing on one’s clothes or chewing on furniture, especially bedroom …
