Your Spot for Great Reading! Wednesday, January 30, 2008. In the morning. Phil was not a happy groundhog. 8220;I tell you, Gladys, these humans are crazy! Trusting a groundhog to plan their lives. It’s not like I have any special powers! 8220;Phil, if it bothers you that much, just come back to bed.” Gladys pulled the blanket up under her chin. 8220;Don’t think I wouldn’t like to. But do I have a choice? 8220;Go with the flow? 8220;Makes me happy? Do you know what would make me happy, Gladys? There was a...

Your Spot for Great Reading! Sunday, October 4, 2009. The Magic Trash Can. We have a magic trash can in our home. It's in the kitchen, oval, white, 13-gallon model. I know it's magic because when I go out of town for a few days, you can put as much trash as you want into it and it never gets full. Ever. No one complains, no one says anything, and no matter how much is crammed into or stacked on top or beside the magic trash can, it will still hold more. At least no one ever changes the bag. I'm not grous...

Buried Treasure Publishing: September 2008

Your Spot for Great Reading! Friday, September 26, 2008. I like airplanes. Don’t get me wrong; it’s not in my blood, inherited from my family as it infected my wife, who practically grew up on Eastern Airlines and was bitten by the travel bug at a tender age. It’s not the allure of the plane thing or the culture of flight or anything like that. My wife and I visited the. In my genes: the joy in simple, uncluttered presentation. I hope you are familiar with Strunk’s Elements of Style. Yes, I also cringe w...

Your Spot for Great Reading! Sunday, January 4, 2009. It spins clockwise north of the equator. The typical American family has 1.87 children. Numbers can be so terribly fascinating, don’t you think? Using a strict interpretation, no American family could be considered typical because children always arrive in integer quantities. I can tell I’m losing 74.6 percent of my audience at this point, and rightly so. Let’s get to my inspiration for today’s thoughts. I don’t need to go into great detail for ...

Your Spot for Great Reading! Saturday, February 28, 2009. Snow on the rooftop? You'd think I could film a disaster movie just because we got four inches of snow! Every new snowfall I am continually dismayed and amused at the number of drivers who just can't figure out that something has changed. Or worse yet, they suspect something has changed but can't seem to adapt to it. Most things in life are not a very short race. Most of us have long-term goals. You live longer by eating fewer junk foods a...This ...

Your Spot for Great Reading! Friday, June 26, 2009. A true Irishman is never in a hurry. I haven't been blogging much recently, and I wanted to share with you the reasons why. No, it's important, really it is. Everyone has good, solid reasons why they haven't gotten around to doing the small, but important things in their lives, don't they? As a writer, I should be able to add writer's block to my list or something equally convincing. I know there is a lot of personal stuff associated with a wedding, and...

Buried Treasure Publishing: March 2009

Your Spot for Great Reading! Sunday, March 29, 2009. Blizzard stops the Wizard. We had a freak snowstorm yesterday, Saturday March 28, 2009. I was safely nestled inside and could enjoy watching the monster flakes come down, knowing that today's forecast was for 44 degrees and sunny, drawing comfort from the thought of rapidly returning to spring. If we missed even one question, we failed the quiz. The teaching assistants (TAs) would only tell us that we had not passed the quiz. I wasn't too worried. ...

Your Spot for Great Reading! Friday, May 2, 2008. Making your obituary creative. I belong to a writer's group in Blue Springs. One of the staples of any writing group are regular creative writing challenges. This helps keep you sharp and pushes you in new directions. This week the challenge was to write your own obituary. I didn't really want to be pushed in that direction, but I'm usually up for any challenge. This is not really a prediction as much as it is an attempt to push back! March 30, 2038.

Your Spot for Great Reading! Friday, June 6, 2008. Is a picturesque town founded on the twin principles of aesthetic beauty and unbridled commerce. Two major roads lead into the area; one from the north that snakes through the hairpin turns of. And one from the south that favors the flatter terrain of the desert. When we visited Sedona several years ago, we decided to enter using the southern route as we didn’t want to risk the unfamiliar turns of the canyon in the approaching darkness. Sedona, it turns ...
