It’s the final countdown… If I had my way, when you open this blog, the intro to Europe’s Final Countdown would begin… That familiar keyboard, all 80’s, all right. Now, the lyrics, other than the chorus, have absolutely nothing to do with what’s going on—hopefully, er, at least in the way I mean it. The…

Well folks, it’s been 26 weeks since I A is for Accepted the In Print ABC Blog Challenge. Half a year has passed! Who believes? And here we are at the End of the Alphabet… the letter Z, which is, according to my phonetic logic, unnecessary but kind of cool. In the 6 months’ time…

Even though I probably don’t say it often enough, you know I love you, right? I know we’re supposed to say it, out loud, let it be known verbally. Songs tell us, movies tell us, books tell us. They all convey how we should tell the people we love that we love them. But why…

Eager to stay true to the In Print ABC Blog Challenge, I didn’t want to cheat and use a word like eXcitement or eXtreme or eXsanguination. I wanted to find a good, solid, and accurate X word. News flash—there aren’t any. Referring to the Ulojee blog, I resume my argument that X, although a fun letter,…

It’s V week! With lots of graduations going on—makes me think of the word Valedictorian! V is for Valedictorian? It could be, but really, what would I know about that?

Memorial Day weekend is traditionally the unofficial kick-off to summer. True summer doesn’t grace us until June 21, but historically it’s plenty warm enough in Northern Illinois for pools to open the last weekend of May! Just last Thursday I grabbed the collection of coats that had accumulated in the backseat of my car over…

I wouldn’t consider myself superstitious. Maybe a little stitious, but super? Naw. Well, there was that god-awful Blackhawks game Saturday… we did wonder what we had done wrong. We being me and Dave. Because we hold their winning fate in our hands… Jerseys on? Check. Miller Lite? Check. Oh, I did have that McDonald’s Strawberry…

As in I provide the Random, you provide the Thoughts. I really want you to think about these things… Turkey Bacon What in Chemical Lab A are they doing to turkey to make it taste like bacon? And how can that process conceivably be healthy? Scented Deodorizer How is this possible? Wouldn’t the deodorizer, by…

Queen Mary. It has a nice ring to it, don’t you think? I shall do my best to be a fair and benevolent ruler. My first decree? Banning “reality” television. That’s right, no more Honey Boo-boo, no more crazy quotin’ Duck Dynasty, no hoarders or Housewives of anywhere. Sorry Bachelors, Bachelorettes and all the other lonely…
