The Gift of the Sith We received this menacing Darth Vader gift card for use at Target Stores. ‘Press To Light’ and the saber glows and out of the voice box in the upper left comes Vader’s breathy asthma doom. I have a hunch that if you use the card at Target and you don’t …

Delicious Morels I was treated to a tasty lunch today by my step-father and master morel hunter. The morel season has been kind, probably due to the noah’s ark rains we’ve been experiencing here. On the lunch menu today was the classic morels over toast seasoned with butter, sour cream, garlic and lemon. Yum. The …
Blow It Out Your NoseI’ve got a head cold. An all too brief moment of sunshine wrestled its way through the clouds Sunday night, just long enough for me to dust off the push mower and set out trimming the grass. It’s been raining off and on for the better part of a week now. …

Stump Flowers The sun is out. The temps are up. People are celebrating in typically strange fashion. My neighbor a few doors down from me is stripping his front door. Lionel Richie is blasting from somewhere deep in his house. He knows every lyric on the album and is not shy or embarrassed about his …
Monday Computer Bug Yikes! File this snap under “creatures you do not wish to find when you move your modem to see why your connectivity is failing”. I almost shat my pants, the fucker is so big. With terrifying antennas, the beast is at least four inches long. And believe it or not, even tho …
Gadgt Control For the past few weeks, I’ve been thinking about buying a new cell phone. I’ve been having visions of glorious color displays, minimalist ring tones straight out of The Life Aquatic, the ability to post to this blog low-res snaps (taken in dark clubs where nobody but myself could identify anything in the …
Ghosts in the Wind Get Under My Skin “Shut All Doors Securely And Tightly!” – this is the text of a sign I have made that I will be attaching to every door in the house at once. Seems that I live in a house that can only be described as “drafty”. Yet, drafty, as …
