Random thoughts, life lessons, hopes and dreams
The tag line. Of this blog. Up there, it includes “random thoughts.” Originally, it contained “randome” thoughts. The Word Press theme editor didn’t have spell checking nine years ago. I know how to spell “random” but sometimes, keys get in the way of my fingers and I end up with extra letters at the end... Continue Reading →
I wrote the “looking back at 2019” post I had planned to share today. It was longer than I wanted – too long for between the holidays – so I left it on the island of misfit posts. In addition to being too long, it was only looking back. I really wanted to look around... Continue Reading →

Hill’s Stream of Consciousness Saturday prompt: “Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is ‘co-‘ Find a word that uses ‘co’ as a prefix and use it... Continue Reading →

Yes, I said “when” that becomes an option. I think the technology of Star Trek is only a few discoveries away. Impossible, you say? Well. Travel back in... Continue Reading →
It’s Saturday, and that means that Linda G. Hill’s Stream of Consciousness Saturday meets the crew at No Facilities Bar & Grill. Linda has switched gears on us today, and she’s making my life difficult, because events dictate the subject of this post. What’s a boy to do? Play along as best I can, I... Continue Reading →
At some point during my extended weekend, I saw a thing on Facebook. It was something like “15 Things You Do that your Dog Hates.” I would provide a link except that the only thing worse than Facebook itself, is the search feature on Facebook. Unless, of course, you were hoping for “15 things you... Continue Reading →
You thought you were going to escape the plumbing story? Bwaah ha ha. Sorry. I’ll make this as painless as possible. Actually, I’ll spare you the whole story (removed 100 words) except for the part where I couldn’t decide between a fixed length PVC trap and a PVC trap with a flexible component on one...
