Target sells the coolest stuff. This is a two pane frame. You put photos or flat objects between the two panes and then fasten them together. It’s like a shadow box but clear and flatter. I put things in it that represent important parts of my past. Not all of them, of course, but things [...]

Total hospital and provider charges (in network): $30,969.30 Paid by plan: $18,375.82 My charges – copay: $150.00 So I ponder: Why the hell does hospital care cost so much? If I had gone in without health insurance and been able to pay privately, [...]

This was my answer to Beloved Spouse when he first asked why the hero in the action movie killed all the bad guys with one shot, but none of the 100 people shooting at him could hit him. The same logic applies to horror movies and their sequels. Just think of all the sequels that [...]

While on our leaf-peeping drive through western Virginia and eastern West Virginia, my beloved spouse and I made a stop at the Paint Bank General Store on VA Route 311 for some coffee and a bio break. Imagine our delight when we discovered that they carried potted possum roadkill! Having driven by some potential canning [...]

Buffy and I wandered over to Target after we had dinner this evening. Now, we ask ourselves, “Was this really a good idea?” I guess it just goes to show that you can dress me up or you can take me out, but you shouldn’t let me loose in the Halloween costume department. [...]

Why am I here?
A common position: Tinkering with my iPhone in StarbucksYou'd think that with all the time I spend working on the computer, I'd pick another way to spend my time. Alas, that is not the case. I've noticed - in my advancing age - that my brain is getting full. Since I don't want to take the chance of forgetting anything interesting (if only to myself), I thought it might be nice to have a place to offload the stories and minutiae that are filling it up so I can make room for more stuff.
Since you've found your way here, I hope that you find something that's interesting to you, too.
