Shaking Things Up
Humor on a Sunday night? That’s not what I usually offer. To find out more, click here. Any of these tickle your funny bone? Or am I the only one with a warped sense of humor?
Blogging a Dead Horse?
It’s late Saturday in my time zone, and I haven’t posted yet today. So a reminder of the reader survey seems appropriate.
One Of Those Days
As I write this, today’s post has been “saving” for about half an hour. Except it isn’t really, I don’t think. It’s lost somewhere in cyberspace. Maybe it will show up. If it does, I know there’s a typo. I was about to fix it once I had saved what I had so far, and […]
Time to Calm Down
Today’s post was going to be a travel post, but I’ve postponed it. Figure I should wait until I’m sure the trip is over before blasting the airlines involved. As a result you get another opportunity today to fill in the reader survey. Don’t miss out on the opportunity to take part – it will […]

The Church of St. John
A few years ago Sundays here featured a different church each week, one that I had visited on overseas travels. I’m not sure why I stopped, and today sems like a good day to share some photos that I had forgotten about. The Church of St. John, Johanneskirche, is a Roman Catholic church just outside […]
The Job
Whenever I visit a community I check out the local newspapers, at least if they are published in a language I understand. With a journalism background, I’m naturally curious. I don’t just read the news coverage but also check out the advertising. Last month, while in Maine, I came across a job advertisement in the […]
When Is It Enough?
I’ve been contemplating age. Not just my own. I’ve retired from the workforce twice so far. Once only lasted a few weeks, and indeed I hadn’t made a decision, I was just thinking about retirement. The second time I retired to move overseas and do volunteer work. In that case retirement was from the paid […]
