My Blog

So, a few days ago, I once again headed down to the basement, to resume the seemingly endless search for the surround sound speakers that are still packed somewhere. At the bottom step I noticed that the cat had crapped on the floor, and I grumbled "goddamned cat!" while I headed for some paper towels. A few steps later, I slowed, and the thought came to me:

But I don't have a cat.

I continued on because, cat or not, I still had to clean his damn mess up. For a few moments I tossed a... read more

I love this time of year, a balance between the cold of Winter, and the Heat of Summer, without the wet of Spring. Delicious abundance of the best tasting fruits and vegetables. All the little animals are scurrying about, busy with seasonal preparations. The lawn quits growing, so I don't have to mow anymore.

But right now I'm on uneasy terms with nature.

For a while now, I've had a feathered alarm clock to assist with my morning waking. It's the most adorable little bird, who regul... read more

(though prairie dogs only come in brown or white)

They were actually quite popular pets until a fe... read more

So, I'm moving, which is a whole other issue. Of course, there are a few things that the moving company just won't touch, and I seem to have in abundance. Fortunately, I have a 3/4 ton GMC van for Pennsic, which is how I'll be moving my "questionable" things.

The first load was ammo and the powder for reloading. Even with it all strapped down tight, knowing what was behind me made it a white knuckle ride. I found myself cornering more slowly, and braking more often to keep my speed dow... read more

Recently, for employment reasons, Kayra and I have decided to move with "The Company" from Ohio to North Carolina. (insert socialist song about living my life for the good of my employer here) Since a few people have actually looked at my profile, I thought I might join the surge toward the sea, and post a blog myself.

While packing, I've been listening to many of my old CD's that I had misplaced. While stuffing a tote with Leon Russel, ( www.leonrussellrecords.com/ ) Leon remark... read more

about me
As a sceptical heretic, I want to know, not to believe. I enjoy learning, and sharing what I have learned. I am prone to occasional rants. I have a dark, cynical sense of humor.
