Mark Queijo brought his spud gun on our camping trip, and we used it multiple times during the day, and once at night. For those who don’t know, and since this video has mostly audio, a spud gun is a bazooka-shaped thing made of plumbing pipe and one flint igniter. You cram your potato down […]
Here’s Johnny Hoy and the Bluefish singing Sloop John B. We first caught their act on the Vineyard at the end of the summer and now I see they’re coming to The Acton Jazz Cafe, Saturday, November 17th. Anyone want to join us? Anyone besides Mr. and Mrs. BirdBrain whose attendance is mandatory.
These people no longer have to guess why their water bill is so high, and if you want to donate some rice and improve your vocabulary, try this site. Both sent to me by Matt who tells me he just woke up from a twenty-four hour nap. For whatever it’s worth, my average score is […]

With more than 170 stores, eight restaurants, and entertainment venues, you’ll find something for every age, taste and style.

BirdBrain sent me this and said she thought of Matt. I thought of Matt, too, but when I saw photo # 11 I thought of Adam.
  The guy with the rose tattoo has been doing some more serious climbing. I wonder how his mom sleeps at night.
 Michael, Well, we found white pumpkins right here in Colorado. We were way out on the plains near where Nebraska touches our north eastern border, and found a farm stand with every color available–orange, red, white, blue, green, and various mixtures thereof. So of course we had to have at least a white one. […]
This was a carefully crafted trip which allowed easy communication home, and which included two guys who long ago bailed from our group. Bill Lewis who’d finally gotten a real job teaching fifth graders and Dan who’d spent so much time in a sitting position that moving about, even as little as we do, pushed […]
I’m way behind posting every little detail of my life. How do I know? Matthew told me so. Our trip to Kansas to meet family and friends and tell stories and see my father’s headstone exceeded even what I could have imagined. And the guy’s camping trip to Maine, though intentionally shortened, was liberating. I […]
Here are screenshots of two desktops showing very different working styles. To show us yours, save the photo to the desktop or anywhere you might have prayer of finding it (I’m thinking of PC users), then click the upload button on the gallery.
As many of you know last February I had my father buried in his hometown cemetery in Latham, Kansas. I didn’t have the time to have the headstone installed and my brother, Brian, suggested that we do so in the fall. Six weeks ago I began calling monument companies to get the stone cut and […]
Mike, My old buddy Chuck is hobbling around with an undiagnosible knee problem. First his doc told him he had a torn meniscus in his left knee. Then the MRI showed nothing. So he’s going to physical therapy, and his therapist told him to go do a lot of biking. He called me up and […]
