Mostly Harmless Drivel: How We Remember It
http://mostlyharmlessdrivel.blogspot.com/2015/08/how-we-remember-it.html
What's with the hoboes? Monday, August 10, 2015. How We Remember It. What's up, loser? Brockton Swackhammer stepped out from between two rows of Maryland corn, now nearing seven feet high, and stopped, basking in imagined applause. Nothing. Just contemplating the famous last words of Socrates. 'I drank what? Hey - did you bring beer? Holy shit, dude! That sucks. I could've used one - or twelve.". Swack stared at Ted for a moment, searching his memory. "Huh? Oh, wait. Yeah. How could I forget? The general...

Ups, Downs, and the Beauty of it All: I Am A Crappy Blogger!
http://rykrisp.blogspot.com/2009/07/i-am-crappy-blogger.html
Ups, Downs, and the Beauty of it All. Ryan - Kristen - Tyler - Kayla - Dylan - Riley - Colby. Wednesday, July 22, 2009. I Am A Crappy Blogger! I have decided that I am terrible at "blogging" (among other things, such as: all sports, folding laundry regularly, not eating sugar, etc.) and I will now update everyone on Colby's birth almost 6 months ago! All's well that ends well, though! He is a good-natured and a giggly little squishy guy- we are blessed to have such great kids! July 23, 2009 at 11:47 AM.

Ups, Downs, and the Beauty of it All: A Vacation Alone
http://rykrisp.blogspot.com/2011/02/vacation-alone.html
Ups, Downs, and the Beauty of it All. Ryan - Kristen - Tyler - Kayla - Dylan - Riley - Colby. Friday, February 18, 2011. Holy toledo, it looks like I'll be going on a little vacation to Utah- ALL BY MYSELF! Shocking. The last time I did overnight girl stuff, I believe, was 7 years ago, when my dear friend-sister Sarah had her first baby. Her parents rented a couple of little beach-side suites (cottages maybe? No really, it was in the street- there wasn't anything there! My one-and-only is taking time off...

Ups, Downs, and the Beauty of it All: September 2008
http://rykrisp.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
Ups, Downs, and the Beauty of it All. Ryan - Kristen - Tyler - Kayla - Dylan - Riley - Colby. Tuesday, September 23, 2008. It was time (once again) for Dylan's check-up with Dr. G, so yesterday Ryan took him to the hospital for his ultrasound, x-ray, blood work, and physical. Dylan was a "big boy" this time, and he laid on the table all by himself for his bladder ultrasound! We waited longer than usual for the results to come back (I think it was around 4:30 in the afternoon, so I got to stress out more ...

Mostly Harmless Drivel: August 2015
http://mostlyharmlessdrivel.blogspot.com/2015_08_01_archive.html
What's with the hoboes? Monday, August 31, 2015. And The Song Will Fade Out (I Predict). The Future - In Color! Long ago, I declared that I would turn out to be vatic - sorry, to have been. Vatic Finally, my prediction of clairvoyance has been proven true. What was it that occurred as I foretold? Several things, actually, but what comes to mind at the moment are the following (in no particular order):. The first time I saw MTV (in 1984 - I was a little late), I said, "Well, there goes the radio star.".

Mostly Harmless Drivel: November 2014
http://mostlyharmlessdrivel.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
What's with the hoboes? Sunday, November 23, 2014. Just Another Manic Monday (They Wanted To Call Themselves "The Bangs"). I was just in the middle of a dream.". She did it again. Please, please, PLEASE stop waking me with 80s song lyrics. It's bad enough that I have to become conscious, at all. Do you remember that song? She asks, knowing full-well that I was DJ-ing at the college radio station in 1986 (and therefore was all-too familiar with that song). Ugh Yes. Hit snooze.". Saturday, November 22, 2014.

Mostly Harmless Drivel: Walking The Lowly Highley Way
http://mostlyharmlessdrivel.blogspot.com/2015/07/walking-lowly-highley-way.html
What's with the hoboes? Monday, July 13, 2015. Walking The Lowly Highley Way. Aaron Three-Shirts, so deprived of oxygen that he barely clung to consciousness, ran up to his raggedy friends. "Our stuff! Someone raided our camp and took all our stuff! Cried Paste-Smeller Luke. "Oh goddammit, no! It's true," Aaron said, bent over with hands on knees, breathing hard. "All gone.". Yeah, it's- hold on. What'd you say, Lowly? I said it's the third time this month.". Yeah, Lowly," Aaron added, catching his breat...

Mostly Harmless Drivel: 2015: Oh, How I Miss Those Commies
http://mostlyharmlessdrivel.blogspot.com/2015/05/2015-oh-how-i-miss-those-commies.html
What's with the hoboes? Saturday, May 2, 2015. 2015: Oh, How I Miss Those Commies. I am fully prepared for the heaps of derision. Some of you will likely heap derision on me for what follows. Heaps of it! Well, do your worst. I've heard it all before, and then some, so heap away. As I said - bring it. For we who grew up tall and proud. In the shadow of the mushroom cloud. Convinced our voices can't be heard. We just wanna scream it louder and louder and louder.". Queen, "Hammer To Fall" (1984). I still l...

Mostly Harmless Drivel: January 2015
http://mostlyharmlessdrivel.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
What's with the hoboes? Sunday, January 18, 2015. Plausible Zane Scarrey vs. Starbucks. One deliberate hobo, however, took a more modest approach to his dreaming. They called him Plausible Zane Scarrey, because. He kept his dreams plausible, and his name was Zane Scarrey. When he allowed himself the indulgence, he imagined that one day, he might get hired on full-time by one of the farmers he served. That never happened. He kept it plausible. Imagine that. Saturday, January 3, 2015. It was still raining ...

Ups, Downs, and the Beauty of it All: No One Else Can Laugh My Laugh...
http://rykrisp.blogspot.com/2011/02/no-one-else-can-laugh-my-laugh.html
Ups, Downs, and the Beauty of it All. Ryan - Kristen - Tyler - Kayla - Dylan - Riley - Colby. Wednesday, February 16, 2011. No One Else Can Laugh My Laugh. I love baking to a fault. At the beginning of our marriage, one day Ryan asked me (very delicately, so as not to hurt my overly-defensive self) if maybe we could start having more healthy food than dessert in the house. I may have begun cooking "real food" only to shift attention away from my true love- sugar. February 17, 2011 at 8:59 AM. Totally wil...
