My middle daughter sent me a text message this morning around 4:30 am letting me know I’d just added an 8lb 15oz, heavy-duty, arrow to my quiver: Don’t you see that children are God’s best gift? the fruit of the womb his generous legacy? Like a warrior’s fistful of arrows are the children of a vigorous youth. Oh, how blessed [...]

Maybe I just don’t know how to use it; maybe I do and it just an irritating feature that lots of folks like. Maybe YOU can help me! In Facebook, every time someone does anything –adds a friend, changes their profile picture, blows their nose, etc.– you are informed that this activity happened. How do [...]

I just had to pass this along… If you are interested in getting an original iPad, I have access through a contact. These are new units and are in the original factory wrapping, not off the back of a truck. They are from a hospital contract that was canceled due to government cutbacks. The numbers are [...]

Everything inside is color-coded.” The second surgeon says, “No, I think librarians are. Everything inside them is in alphabetical order.” The third surgeon shut them up when he said, ” You’re both wrong. Politicians are the easiest [...]

I love it when somebody “gets it.” Misconceptions, illusions, outright lies and then, suddenly, the light comes on. The look on their face is priceless.

All levity aside, I am a bit concerned about Hurricane Irene. More properly stated, I’m concerned about all the hype that occurred around Hurricane Irene. For us here in North Carolina, she is now history. Yet, they still are not diminishing their prognostications of doom for the northeast. It is rather obvious, it was not about the [...]

Ok, I shouldn’t have used the exclamation mark in the headline. It wasn’t a “!” event. I thought someone was standing behind me shaking my chair; my monitor was jostling back and forth, visibly; my table was mildly bouncing. It was an earthquake, not an EARTHQUAKE! Everybody in the office was saying the same thing: “Did [...]

I ate at a place that I’d forgotten all about the other night while in Chattanooga. “TheYellow Deli” group fled the city back in 1979 amidst much controversy and charges of cult activity. Officially called the “Twelve Tribes” at this point, they made a forced evacuation from Chattanooga to Vermont and only recently returned and reopened [...]

I have a GPS on my iPhone and have the Tom-Tom application on it that allows it to function just like the standalone version. I will confess that I thoroughly enjoy having it in my car, even when I know where I’m going. “Samantha,” my GPS “companion” who tells me what to do, is a [...]

Riding down the highway yesterday I saw a bumper sticker: “Obamanos” Yeah. That’s what has happened. And they said it wasn’t going to hurt. I think I’m going to do my own bumper sticker: “Obamaectomy: the removal of a malignant Obama”
