Forty. What an age to be. One that is met with bemusement by older folks who will comment that you are “a baby” while the kids will say “you’re old.” What is a person to do? Well, if you are a man, and I happen to be one according to a few trusted sources, you … Continue reading Hey Forty

Heart Full of Fur Love is a kitten that stabs at your feet.Love is a cat that meows for sink water.Love is a cat that sits down on your sheet.Love is a kitten that enjoys bird slaughter. Love is a feline who paws for a treat.The zoomies happen when you least expect it.Corpuscular mammals have … Continue reading Leave It to the Prose (A very special poetry series)

The subject of poor titling seems to rear its head too often for my comfort. Some of you may be blissfully unaware of these goings on and for that, I am envious. Alas, I cannot stand idly by and watch these senseless names pass before my eyes saying nothing of their mediocrities (if you read … Continue reading Miss-Titled

Summer vacations are a time for restful contemplation and reflection. Right.

One such device was a set of electrodes that could be attached to the abdominal muscles and the electrical stimulation would supposedly activate … Continue reading Her Iron Fist

Rub my eyes to remove the illusion.Even science can’t reach a conclusion.Magic, the word is whispered, but from where?Galadriel, is that you, narrating my thoughts up there? Deceived I was from true and proper focus.Could this be some kind of elven hocus pocus.Focus by Hocus Pocus, remember that song?Quirky, instrumental, yodels, its run time long? … Continue reading Abra Abra Kadabra

When I reached the parking lot of a certain store planning to purchase a Christmas gift, I didn’t have any expectations. I didn’t have any worries, concerns, fears, stresses or other synonyms that time failed to provide me with through a Google search. Remember Spiderman 3? How could any of us forget. It was as … Continue reading But I Won’t Do That: A Christmas Wish

Today I was called in for a pro bono physical therapy evaluation and treatment session. I would provide an explanation of the treatment approaches I used, but therapy documentation takes up most of my life. So when the opportunity came to do some therapy without being required by regulations to write the details of the … Continue reading Laugh Until Your Head Falls Off, Nearly.

Looking for the right home seems a simple enough task when I think about it. You make a list of the criteria that you want in said home. Then you scour the internet for places that match your wants. If that wasn’t clear enough, allow me to list a number of these and mansplain them … Continue reading Our House is a Very Very Very Hard to Describe or Define House, but definitely with the two cats in the yard thing.
