These past few days have been anything but usual for me. Here’s what I mean. ~~~ The Sign As you have noticed, I’m not political on this blog.

…only it is addressed to the prior owner – and she is deceased. The lady addressed on the above envelope once owned my house.  She died exactly where I sit this minute writing this post.  Fear not for me, I don’t sense her spiritual presence anywhere.  In fact, there is little in the way of [...]

As you know, I have been struggling with an addiction.  I love to cook.  I’m addicted to cooking and fine wines and the freshest of produce and the freshest of meats.  It is rare I ever cook from a can.  Most things in a can are special beans I can’t get or tuna for salads [...]

Stöckchen: Das braucht kein Mensch! Trans:  Baton: The man does not need! In picking a stick and carrying it, I picked up a stick from this blog: Skriptum I like this blog.  Very thought provoking and on some days interactive.  The stick (Stöckchen) in this one is sort of like a Meme.  The idea is instead of sending [...]

I don’t need a new reason to get into trouble with the Little Woman. As it stands things have been fairly peaceful around here; and frankly, I like it that way. I don’t need a big ole long agony-yank regards drinking too much wine in the evening, which I have been as of late, but [...]

Why is it?  Why is It?  Why? The noises my wife makes every morning – why?
