Nothing better than doubt doubting itself.

Last night my mother called me. She told me she loves me. I hung up and thought: "Oh, well, she just said that because she loves me." I guess that's a true statement.

Strange things get caught in my brain at night.

If nothing else helps, Walt Whitman does. Always.

"Do I contradict myself?
Very well then. I contradict myself.
I am large.
I contain multitudes."

Using black as a background color is cheating.

Heavy snow disrupts traffic on I-95 northbound approaching birdhouse junction.

Unfortunately the cold weather didn't have any influence on the migration behavior of the Hamburg giant slugs.

After 50 years of being married grandpa and grandma still slept in the same position every night.

"Sleep sweet", said grandma banana. "Sweet dreams", said grandpa banana. And they fell asleep.

New #1 on my list of examples for "good intention, bad execution".

Halfway between there and nowhere.

Merry Christmas And A Tasty New Year!

I'm sorry I had to do this to Santa ...

Since the neighborhood kids weren't allowed to play with him, fire learned to occupy himself early on.

People are those creatures who know you are as alive as they.

Isn't it wonderful? Dustbunny is still growing thanks to his healthy diet of handpicked dust, hair, select breadcrumbs and the occasional dandruff. Curious critter that he is, he even grew an eye. I wonder what will be next.

Would you rather drown in milk or in beer?

Philip says, it depends on whether you have cookies or not.

34º F

It's strange, but I just can't remember what cold weather feels like. I'm at a complete loss when it comes to winter clothes. What did I wear last year? Was that black coat warm enough at 34º? And if I take the bike? Will I sweat if I wear my hoody underneath? How about a hat? A scarf? Two pairs of socks? Boots? Sneakers? Fur? I guess it will be spring by the time I figure it out.
