It started raining. It was light at first. A drop here, another there. Cats and dogs and everything in between! Within a few minutes, it started coming down faster. A steady beat like a drummer tapping on a set of drums. It grew faster and faster. The noise growing with intensity and drive. The water... Continue Reading →
I am the hero!
I have to gloat. I am . . . The Man. The Myth. The Legend. If you had a camera on me right now, you would see me strutting across my kitchen floor. My arms would be up in the air and a big old smile would be across my face. Queen's We Are the... Continue Reading →
An explosion of colors
A few years ago my wife and I went to a Fourth of July - Independence Day fireworks show and were dazzled by the bright colors that lit up the nighttime sky. There were reds, oranges, yellows, and everything else under the sun. Those fireworks had a greater variety of colors, but they have nothing... Continue Reading →

A small change for the better
I had to run last week to my local Department of Motor Vehicle office for a new driver's license. I had to get a new photo taken. The little smiley face that I drew haphazardly on a piece of paper wasn't going to work should I get pulled over by the state police. The errand... Continue Reading →
What do you see?
When I was bored as a young kid, I used to lie in the grass and look up in the sky. I would look at the clouds and the crazy shapes they would make, squinting and imagining an elephant with a long trunk or a duck floating on a lazy river of blue. In reality... Continue Reading →
My party invitation
I stopped by the front desk and the maitre d' showed me to my table. "Right this way, Sir." The party was in full session. Oh, in reality I was just taking a short break from work and had stepped out onto our front porch to sit on a rocker, but when I closed my... Continue Reading →
