What are you most proud of in your life? This is an interesting prompt, and one that I could get very long-winded with, making lists of all kinds of things. But, as I often quote, brevity is the soul of wit, and I want this to be a witty (though not funny, just insightful) post.Continue reading “I’m Proud To Be…”

Working: Title?
What have you been working on? In my travelogue of the UK trip I mentioned how both Joyce and I wound up with a (non-contagious, thank goodness!) intestinal flu, and then returned home with colds. I still have only a lingering cough, but Joyce has had conjunctivitis twice and is relapsing back into a cold,Continue reading “Working: Title?”
Hidden Secrets
What’s something most people don’t know about you? Is the title redundant? I mean, if they’re secrets, aren’t they necessarily hidden? And if they are revealed, they’re no longer hidden. Perhaps this is what happens when I write a blog post and formulate a title before that second cup of coffee. I think there areContinue reading “Hidden Secrets”
Hazy Lazy Days of…Retirement?
Do lazy days make you feel rested or unproductive? I recently visited my storage unit and brought home two boxes with stationery supplies. I’ve run out of good printer paper and had to resort to printing with these thin sheets I found in a desk drawer. I feared they might get stuck inside the printerContinue reading “Hazy Lazy Days of…Retirement?”
Like A Good Neighbor…
What makes a good neighbor? Good neighbors can definitely add to one’s quality of life. For me, this statement is mostly theoretical since, in so many of the places I’ve lived, I wouldn’t have described my neighbors as good. Even when they weren’t bad, so many of them were just annoying, and so my viewContinue reading “Like A Good Neighbor…”
Cliches To Live By
What principles define how you live? Shakespeare used serious elements in his comedies to make them more realistic, and added comic elements to his tragedies to heighten (or deepen) the gravity of the action. We see a strong example of this in the Scottish play with the Porter, who plays at being Hell’s doorman; it’sContinue reading “Cliches To Live By”
Adulting?!
When was the first time you really felt like a grown up (if ever)? I’m not sure when I first encountered the word “adulting” but I find it to be both apt and an odd concoction that’s arisen from the English language. I’m still not sure I like it, but it seems my approval isContinue reading “Adulting?!”
PowerBall!
If you had a million dollars to give away, who would you give it to? A friend of mine (if you read yesterday’s blog entry on skydiving: that friend) once said, given the odds, if he was ever struck by lightning, he’d ask the paramedics to take him to buy a lottery ticket before theContinue reading “PowerBall!”
Skydiving
What’s something you would attempt if you were guaranteed not to fail. There are few guarantees in this life. They say Death and Taxes are the main ones, and you can finagle the latter depending on where you live. Cheating Death is a little more difficult. Since I’m not an extreme risk-taker, skydiving has neverContinue reading “Skydiving”
Time Well Spent
What is your favorite hobby or pastime? Hobbies change over the years. I’ve often been inspired by something and then pursued it for awhile before moving on to something else. I don’t think that indicates a lack of attention span or sticktoitiveness, but rather an endless curiosity. Of course, on the downside, it does remindContinue reading “Time Well Spent”
