So Far, A Happy Sunday

What a nice day...finally a day when I don't have to go ANYWHERE...not to the grocery store, not to work, not to Target...I get to stay home all day in my slippers and mellow out with the crew. Nice...damn nice...

Blog

I want to blog
but my mind is in a fog

I need to write
but out went my light

I'm falling behind
so please be kind

I'll blog some more
but right now it's a chore
and I know I'm a bore
down to my very core

but I'll be back soon
still crazy as a loon

Deep thoughts about snakesq

I like snakes. They are very beautiful and most gentlemanly in their dealings with each other (well, the males are anyway). Their ritualized combat is amazing to watch. Venomous snakes have more than enough venom to kill their rivals, but they never do.

Salamanders are cool, too. Slimier than snakes by far, and far less dangerous when handled, but no less amazing.

Snakes need more positive PR like they get from me. Then maybe people like my mother wouldn't hate them for no reason. A snake will only bite when grabbed or stepped on, and rarely even when it's cornered. People are FAR more dangerous to people than snakes. Mosquitos are thousands of times more deadly than are venomous snakes.

More rumination after some cogitation.

Rock on, people.

Love and Marriage

Love is a many faceted and wonderful thing that I feel full of at the moment. And, Debi, dear, I'm not just saying that because you're the only one who will read this, but because it is true.

It is Sunday and my brain is running on empty...

Carpets, caterpillars, and strong ales

Carpets are over-rated. Give me hardwood floors any day. Someday I'll pull up our carpet while my wife is asleep and haul it to the dumpster. Or maybe not...

Caterpillars are not as leggy as centipedes
But caterpillars are leggier than pepper seeds

Ale is great
Ale is good
Let us drink
and not stink
Let us enjoy
and not ploy
let us live
and not croak
let us be serious
and stop this joke

Tomorrow, more thoughts on the fashion movement away from polyester.

Valentine's Day Musings

Valentine's Day, a day for love
Valentine's Day, fly like a dove
Valentine's Day, fits like a glove
Valentine's Day, be my friend
Now, Valentine's Day, it's your end

I'm not really a poet, but sometimes I can't hold back the words...


Note: Sarcasm is rampant here.

Tomorrow, more thoughts on life, liberty, carpeting, and today's community colleges.
