…and it isn’t even anywhere near our birthday. …and here I thought my mailbox existed exclusively as a receptacle for AARP. I’m not ready for my own postal code just yet.

This question came up in a dear friend’s blog site and I thought I would take a shot at the answer to shed some light on this issue. Let’s pretend I’m the Tech Department and let’s pretend you are you. You ring me up at Tech Department (TD). I answer: TD: Hello, Tech Department You: [...]

…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 [...]

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 know. Call me crazy. What is it about watching this commercial that is so appealing to me? I can’t quite put my finger on it. Somebody help me out here. Seriously, is this about as stupid as American advertising can get or what? Dynamic Inertia, yeah, okay, whatever.

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 [...]
