Leaf Blower
I think the world could do without leaf blowers. They’re noisy and use up precious fuel. Too many times, I’ve watched lawn workers blowing leaves around that blow back on the same yard, just moments after the workers leave, especially those leaves they blow into the street. I admit raking up leaves is time consuming… Continue reading

Whose Chair?
We have a cat, a white and gray Maine Coon. He’s a beautiful cat. If I could make him understand one thing, it would be his place. He’s always taking my chair, a recliner where I watch TV. He loves to sleep in it. Often he waits until he sees me approach and jumps ahead… Continue reading

A paucity of time
My wife doesn’t believe me when she gets home from work and I tell her I got nothing done. That’s because after my ritual declaration, I list what I did do and she is amazed. It’s usually a long list. I also often say “I don’t know where my time went … I lost the… Continue reading

World’s Largest Ball of Yarn
There’s lots of things to see in the world, and I definitely want to see as much as possible. I love visiting new places. In my own country there are plenty of national and state parks with many natural wonders. I love to attend museums and read all the information possible, absorbing facts. My family… Continue reading

Television Aint Reading
In my writing classes, many of the writers were avid readers. Reading is part of writing, that was a theme in the classes. My father was an avid reader, up to 12 books a month in his best days. My mother also read a lot, always with a book in hand, all the way to… Continue reading

Presents
When I was a kid, I could never sleep before Christmas Day. The excitement of it was too much, thinking about all the mysterious presents adorned in pretty paper. My Mom would heighten the anticipation with a parade of packages that came in the mail, that she would secret in her bedroom until she wrapped… Continue reading

Everything Is Art
Many artists will verify that they have a habit of collecting many odd items for future art projects. Artists see art in many ordinary things, often discarded things. My brother-in-law swore he would never help me move again after discovering that he was helping to move boxes and bags of trash. It was trash in… Continue reading

Penguin Man
I’m not formally trained, but I’ve been doing artwork all my life. For a while, I was a member of a suburban art gallery. There I was known as the “Penguin Man,” for my affinity in producing penguin art. I don’t know if I was the Penguin Man because of my own personal interest in… Continue reading

Stand Out
I was an IT manager until my job was moved to India. At that point I became a stay at home Dad, which worked out great for my family. Unfortunately, and because I’m naturally introverted, I liked the seclusive lifestyle. Now, I’ve published my books and to get anywhere I need to promote myself. I… Continue reading

End of 2023
I like New Year’s because it’s a demarcation. Although moving from 2023 to 2024 is simply a move from Sunday to Monday, like any week, it feels like a new chapter, a chance to start again. My blog is like a mission, which is to be honest about my thoughts and reactions to the world… Continue reading
