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…

Neck Catch and Other Ordinary Juggling
I’ve got some easy juggling tricks that I cobbled together in a YouTube video and boy is it ordinary. Tricks like under the arm and a simple two ball multiplex aren’t that hard to do with a little practice. But the neck catch is nothing but luck unless you got a neck the size of…

Neck Catch Juggle Trick Coming Up!
Can you guess what I’m doing in the picture? It’s the neck catch juggle trick, which I swore I’d never be able to do. I’m planning a new juggling video with new, so-called easy juggling tricks, ordinary style. I’ve been avoiding the neck catch trick because, well, I figured it would be a pain in…

The Horror of Getting Older
The other day I was out getting a haircut and then went out to the mall. Both experiences gave me chills. The hair stylist asked me a question I’ve never heard before: “And would you like me to trim those eyebrows for you today?” It struck me pretty hard because I heard that question before…
