Experiment

   I got a Bluetooth keyboard for Christmas. My niece was going to help me set it up, but wasn't able to. So I decided to do it all on my own. It's not hard once you know what your're doing, but when you have never done a thing before, it's like moving into unknown territory where a lion could jump out and eat your face.   I was afraid I would make some stupid mistake and ruin the keyboard....

  With the speed of life going at the speed of light it is nice to stop and take a breath. Observe the lights and multitude of decorations. Laugh with family and friends. To eat a good meal and sit back and relax. It is good to take a pause. Merry Christm...

A Nice Little Song?

  I was sitting in Taco Bell one day when I heard a nifty song. I was liking the beat when I heard the line, "I'm in love with your body." I felt like it was objectifying someone and I was uncomfortable with that. But, I loved the beat. Yesterday the ear worm came. I thought, I have to change that line. I came up with, "I'm in love with your money." That seemed totally crass so I changed  it...

A Good Read

  If you're like me you don't have a lot of time to read. I recommend a book that's entertaining and short. 'The Bear Who Wasn't There' by LeUyen Pham. It takes no time at all to read and it's fun. If you have to entertain kids I recommend 'We Are In A Book' by Mo Willems. You and the children will enjoy it. Unless you have no soul. Then there's nothing I can do for you. Have a good d...

We're On Super Speed

  I've got to ask, where did summer go? I hadn't gotten used to the idea of summer and it was gone. I was thinking of all the things I wanted to do. Go to the park. Eat ice cream. Sit and listen to outdoor jazz. Then suddenly the leaves turned red. The weathered cooled. And there was talk of Christmas. Time is moving too fast. I've already heard talk about March. It's like sitting down to dinner...

Zero

 It's not ready for public use, but I have another great idea. A long while back, I came up with the idea of using a time machine to allow you to sleep as long as you wanted and then move back in time and go to work. Someone said, you might wake yourself up and ruin the whole idea of sleeping in. That made me rethink the whole time machine thing. At first I thought of having a second apartment,...

Stuff And Stuff

I've been taking care of a lot of stuff lately. Details for my Mom. Details for me. The other day l needed to get my Mom to the doctor, but I had to take care of one more thing. I was late leaving the house, so I was really late getting Mom. Mom uses a walker and was slower than normal. We were way behind when we finally got to the doctor's office. I was thinking I need to do better. Then I realized,...

How Did He Do That?

  My six year old nephew became enamored with the Jerry Lewis movie "The Nutty Professor." He wanted to know how the professor changed into Buddy Love. I told him, it was special effects. He didn't buy that. He wanted to look up potions. I knew we would get Harry Potter, so we looked up chemistry and we checked YouTube for experiments. He did his own experiments at the kitchen sink using salt,...

My Duty

  I just finished my jury duty for the year. I have been called up for this duty every other year for years. I have yet to sit on a panel. I came close. I actually sat in the seat, but the defense didn't want me and I was dismissed. I got twelve dollars. Had to pay taxes on it. You'd think if I was willing to do my civic duty the government should be willing to let me do it tax...

What's First?

  It's an age old question. What came first? The chicken or the egg? My point of view is that the chicken had to come first. The chicken laid the egg. Many might disagree. Do they think the egg just grew out of the ground? The thought came to me. Not all eggs come with chickens in them. There are the eggs you eat and the eggs that hatch. There is no hatching unless that egg was fertilized. The...

Let's Be Fair

  It was July the 4th and I watched two little girls chase each other as they laughed. I thought, isn't it good to have a day off. Then I realized. This is summer. Every day is a day off for kids. It isn't fair. What we should do is have kids work the week of Independence Day. That way kids would enjoy a day off like the rest of us. Wouldn't that be ni...

Time Keeps Slipping Away

   I was thinking, I haven't done my blog for a couple of weeks. Then I checked the date on my latest blog. It was April. April!? Who stole my month!? Where did June go? Am I missing any other months? I have to be. My fourteen year old nephew is suddenly fifteen. My sixteen year old niece is about to turn seventeen. I have another niece who is a full grown adult who won't lend...

  I saw a challenge on Facebook. It asked people to come up movie quotes that identify a movie when you hear them. I thought it was fun. I came up with a few.          "You had me at hello."          "Houston, we have a problem."          "Tomorrow is another day."          "If...

Broadway Here I Come!!!

It's going to be a big hit. A smash. Bigger than 'Cats'. I'm going to have it made! Recently I saw a 3-D cutout of a bunny. It was lined with small bulbs. It reminded me of Broadway. Then I saw a 3-D cutout of a heart. It was also lined with bulbs. That's when I came up with the great idea. 'Broadway Bunny, Broadway heart'. It's about a young girl who comes to New York to become an actress. She has...

What Should I Do?

  I was making a career decision. Do I become a character actor or a star? There are ups and downs with both choices. A character actor gets more jobs, but less money. A star can get 20 million dollars a picture. A star has to deal with the paparazzi. A character actor has more privacy, but doesn't get invited to the Jimmy Fallon Show. I just couldn't make up my mind. Then I looked in the...

Where did it go?

  Have you ever put something in a certain place so you know exactly where it is. Then you need that thing and you go to where you know it's is and it's not there. You're shocked. You know you put it there. There is no one else around. It couldn't have moved. It has to be there, but it's not. I think every home is equipped with a tiny black hole. It's so small, it can't be seen. It floats all...

Never hurry

I thought I would write a quick post, just so you know I'm still alive. I have less than five minutes. I know better than to do something in a hurry. There's more mistakes. Your fingers forget how to type. You don't have enough time to check, properly, your work and do it right. The clock is ticking down. It's a good thing I don't have to save the world because, I'm sure all will be lost. I don't...

Gentlemen

  I watched a couple of teenage boys cross the street. I noticed one of them had his underwear showing. I couldn't help wondering why. Why do they do this? Then I realized, males like getting a glimpse of a pretty girl's underwear. They think girls like the same thing. That's why some men feel free to put their hand on an attractive woman's knee. If they were to walk into an office and see...

Old Movies

I love old movies. They're cozy. Especially the black and white. There's nothing like a Humphrey Bogart or Katharine Hepburn movie. They're like hot chocolate and a warm blanket. You don't have to worry about inappropriate words or inappropriate scenes. You just lay back and drift into a comfy, good time. Swe...

Campaign Ads

  We are in another election year. We are in for more campaign ads. We are going to learn how great one person is and how bad is the other. I think these ads should be more fun. I came up with a couple of ideas.   The first ad shows an aide attempting to change candidate John Smith image. Making him more friendly. There are a bunch of Disney ties hanging on...
