We All Poop

Take these three simplistic words and contemplate them for just a moment, " we all poop." Don't shoot the messenger, I don't make up the rules, I just follow them like you. I am merely a student at your feet. Pooping essentially falls in line behind subjects like sexual intercourse. Our parents took the time to explain how procreation works, where babies come from. Then, they spent the next 18 years telling us it's too dirty to talk about. Maybe we owe a debt of gratitude t

Projects

There is nothing more humbling than being up to your eyeballs in a home project only to realize you are in over your head. Well... maybe...

Breakfast

It's been a long time since anyone tried to rethink breakfast. I assume the reason is because the meal is usually an afterthought. When...

Rules, Rules, Rules

Maybe it's the rebel in me but aren't most rules meant to be broken? I'm not talking about the no-brainers like filing your taxes on...

Back to Basics

Every now and then it is advisable to give yourself a break from the things that drive this world. On occasion we should take time from contemplating which Kardashian sister is most need of a lip waxing; by the way (in case you have forgotten) its ALL of them. I've seen less hair on my barber's floor on a Saturday morning. I've spent time watching the Bravo network (not by choice) and I walked away feeling mostly like I lost some IQ points, which I'm almost certain I did. You

Being Monica

Do you remember when you stole a piece of bubble gum from the corner store as a kid and you thought the world was coming to an end because mom made you take it back and apologize? Of course, you well remember how embarrassed we were when we laid it on the counter and said in a sheepish voice, " I'm sorry." The upside to that disaster however is that it happened when we were five years old, and out of three people that remember the incident you are the only one still alive. T

Doing Stuff

Last night I was watching a sitcom and one lead character said to another, "Let's go do something." By using the noun "something" I...

Diversity?

Remember not long ago when a twenty-something year old male made an abomination of everything beer drinkers stand for? Imagine if you will Hank Hill with a terrified look on his face, it's easy if you try. In many ways I identify with Hank in that I TOO hate change. Allow me to stipulate once again, I despise change, not people. Men can't be women and women can't be men, sounds like an easy enough premise to buy, doesn't it? But it also seems to be a radical idea that young p

Buyer Beware

Have you ever considered that truth in advertising is dead? Consider for a moment you are an advertising executive, and your only job was...

Sue Happy

Have you ever considered that one of the biggest players in the prices of inflation is due to lawyers? Have you ever considered that the reason you need a utility knife in order to open the packaging of a new utility knife is directly due to the insanity that goes on in the courts these days? There was a time when real lawyers went to bat for clients with real problems to fight legitimate injustices. Lawyers, in a civilized society are necessary because (with the exception of

Nobody Knows

Have you ever considered that in the animal kingdom the only individuals who fling their own poo at each other are higher primates; that...

My Headstone

People who know me well understand that I love absurdity. We regularly pass pictures around at work with those overtones. Today one of my...

That Dog WON'T Hunt

Most of us agree about what a fiasco Covid was. No matter what side of the fence your belief lies on we can all agree that it was a huge...

Baking Brownies

In the winds of change (at least in Oklahoma) these days you can always smell brownies baking. At this point in time (October 2022) there...

Dodging People

I usually like to write about quotable Americans like Abe Lincoln and Winston Churchill, but today I have chosen to quote myself. Here is...

Breaking in Shoes

Last Sunday on the way out of the church parking lot I helped a young woman to her car after she broke a heel. She had fallen, seriously...

Birds Vs. Bees

Trying to teach sex education from my back porch swing in Broken Arrow Oklahoma could be tricky, so I'll tread lightly. Has anyone...

People often talk about the horrors of dying. Sigmund Freud died of throat cancer at the age of thirty-nine, but I heard he blamed that...

People often refer to ghost like those ghoulish spirits under white sheets like you see in Scooby Doo cartoons which, in the end is a...
