Silly Cat Picture

Given that the internet was invented for the mass sharing of cat pictures, and that not as many people as I would like have appreciated this week’s series on Bellevue House, I guess I might as well lower my standards and post a cat photo. My daughter took this one this week of the eviler […]

Friday’s Words of Wisdom

Techological Failure

I had  what I thought was a pretty good post for today. Mind you, my opinion n these things can be suspect. I wrote it on the bus yesterday coming home from work. The words flowed effortlessly. They were both amusing and thought provoking as I expounded on a rather curious experience I had with […]

Food Filler

What do you do when you have a busy day and no time to finish a blog post? Throw in some food porn. Even better if it involves chocolate. Technically i suppose this is fruit porn, but you get the meaning.

The Flying Bandit

I wrote this piece in late 2014, and for some reason never posted it. I noticed it on my phone yesterday and thought, “I really should post that.” I think at the time I was thinking I would make it part of a series on some of the highlights of my life as a newspaper […]

Chocolate

Harby

I suppose an explanation is in order. Certainly a fellow blogger thought so, sending me an email asking if somehow something had been dropped from my post on stuffed animals. The short answer is no. I just didn’t think to explain myself. And I suppose I really should explain why my son’s stuffed toy rabbit, […]

The Lawyer

The posts of the past couple of days have brought back some memories of time pent living and working in Pembroke. That’s probably why I recognized the name in the obituaries, someone I hadn’t thought about in years. He was a lawyer, and like any small-town lawyer he had a mixed practice. Civil, criminal, real […]

Your Wednesday Morning Rant

It happened again. I blame my mother. I don’t blame her for the fact that I check the obituary listing in the daily newspaper. I’ve reached the point in my life where fairly often I’ll see a death notice for someone I know (or the parent of someone I know). It doesn’t hurt to be […]
