Reblogging “Hanging In There”
I’m reblogging the post “Hanging In There” which I posted on this date (9/12) in 2020. It’s one day past 9/11. I haven’t forgotten that important date in American history. I remember where I was when the news broadcast the attack. In fact, I saw it on the television in one of the lobbies at…

Wild WoodRanger Weed Wacking!
We had a wild day with a battery-powered weed and trimming tool called the WoodRanger Weed and Grass Trimmer. It is reminiscent of our little battery-powered snow blower. It was harder than necessary for me to assemble because I couldn’t find decent instructions on line or packed in the box. That’s not the way to…

Does a Partial Denture Affect Fingerless Whistling?
So, I’ve been looking at YouTubes on learning how to do fingerless whistling because I think it’s cool. I’ve never known how to do it. I can do pucker whistling OK, but now I want to see if I can do the whistling that some people manage to do by putting their fingers in their…

Reblogging “A Beer Called Ruthie”
I’m reblogging this post “A Beer Called Ruthie” for a special reason. Back in 2019, I mentioned the side effect of eating Welsh Rarebit, which was another topic in the post, and its association with vivid dreams and sleep walking. That was the subject of a situation comedy in the 1960s Gomer Pyle show in…

My Denture Adventure!
Well, I’m ready to wrap up the busted tooth adventure which began on Saturday, June 13, 2026. I guess I have to give you a “recap” (har!) because the whole thing started after I broke off a cap from my upper right, a tooth the dentist would call the old number 4 (I think). Ironically,…

Funny Thing Happened on the Bigfoot Trail
By now, everyone has seen the story about the Bigfoot sighted in Damariscotta, Maine. The local police found out way too fast that it was just a guy in a costume. An interesting sidelight was that the people in Damariscotta (Damariscottamans? Damariscottites? Damariscottimanians?) all came together to make sure friends and neighbors were safe from…

Watch Out for Fake Columns Juggling!
Hey, I just found out that September is Aging Awareness Month. No wonder I’m bad at juggling columns! I’m just unaware that I should have started juggling way before retirement a few years ago. There’s no getting around it—I need to practice columns if I’m going to juggle fake columns. It looks really cool when…

Drop Kicking the Juggling Balls!
I’m practicing bouncing the juggling balls off my body, this time my foot. You start by juggling the 3-ball cascade, and drop kick one of the balls off the side or the front of your foot. This doesn’t work well at all unless I wear shoes. And even then, it’s not easy. I can sort…

Svengoolie Show Movie: “They Came From Beyond Space”
Svengoolie Intro: “Calling all stations! Clear the air lanes! Clear all air lanes for the big broadcast!” What I noticed last night while watching this movie was that I didn’t check the clock nearly as much I generally do with Svengoolie show movies. I don’t know what that means, other than dementia can progress in…

Reblogging “Should Doctors Be Funny”
I’m reblogging the post “Should Doctors Be Funny?” just to remind you I have not changed much since I wrote it three years ago on this day. I still think it’s better to look for the funny edge in life. It helps me get through most of the time. It’s probably the main reason I…
