Random thoughts, life lessons, hopes and dreams
Goodbye to the little monkey and welcome the long pier. It's time to turn over a new badge. As I mentioned over at the bar on Saturday I am working on the last segment of the garage facelift I started last year. Since the “garage” is really the merger between a relatively large garage and... Continue Reading →
It’s time to take Linda G. Hill’s Stream of Consciousness Saturday prompt to the bar, but Linda has made this particularly hard for me (just ask The Editor). “Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is ‘silent/silence.’ Use one or both in your post. Have fun!” Silence is not my strong suit. Still, let’s... Continue Reading →
Unlike people who have completed the switch to credit cards and payment apps, some of us still carry a little cash, and many of us are a little obsessive about the denomination and storage of cash in our wallets. I like a mix of notes, and I like all the presidents to be upright and... Continue Reading →
A few years ago on Mother’s Day, Faith (daughter) and I built a one-person-patio for my wife. The plan was to give The Editor a place to relax for a few minutes while she was working in her garden. I had found a small antique wrought iron bench, we set a small area of pavers... Continue Reading →

Inside, everyone would say, “oh, he means Brian.”... Continue Reading →
Last week, I dragged you guys into the bowels of my technical support journey with the WordPress Happiness Engineers. Along the way, I offered some hope that the future wouldn’t hold too many of those technical travelogues: "Computers can do those things, easily, but they have to know all the steps in the workflow,...

I was conducting research at the bar on Saturday – yes, that’s my story – and I couldn’t help but overhear a man, I am glad I don’t know and with whom I avoided making eye contact or exchanging polite conversation. He was one of those people who seem to feel they were put on... Continue Reading →
It’s Saturday, Cheryl has changed the kegs, opened the wine, retrieved her step-stool for those top-shelf delicacies and Linda G. Hill has given us the Stream of Consciousness Saturday prompt. “Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is ‘fab.’ Use it as a word or find a word beginning with “fab.” As always, use...
