I found a new beverage. It is named, simply, Affirmation Wine. It lists 15% alcohol by volume. The more you drink, the better you feel about yourself. It's like a participation trophy for adults.
Back in my teenage years, there was a mens' cologne that was part of the English Leather brand. It was called "Timberline" and I always liked how it smelled on me. It was one that lasted for hours, as did English Leather. I liked both of these and British Sterling the best. There was an...
there were no boots to be had
price mattered not
but the Spanish burgundy portended
to be the very best
thus began the trek
to the top of the world
no boots and too much wine
the guides were drunk
when I fell through the snow bridge
the trek had ended
almost before it had begun
hospital food...
'Twas Tinkerbell I saw on that rainy night,
hitchn' a ride down on old 66.
The 'Stang was broke down,
so I joined her with thumbs out.
In the morning,
we weren't there anymore.
"Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe."
And yet, it now makes perfect sense.
And, it took but seven decades.

It has been 25 years since the event. Alice did come to my rescue, and the immediate outcome, outlined in a dream whilst in hospital scared me enough to want to permanently change my life. And so I have. Today, I am retired from all but day to day living, and enjoying my remaining time. My...
I had walked for a day and needed to find a place to camp. I approached the frozen lake with caution, and carefully, very carefully eased myself onto the icepack. I had removed my pack and attached it to a line to reduce my weight while attempting the crossing. Not quite midway across the ice...

I awoke to the bleakness of a grey sky, freezing temperature and another snowfall. Once my gear was assembled and pack shouldered, I lumbered forward, each step becoming more ponderous then the last.
Linoleum, congolium and the like were replaced by vinyl flooring and subsequently renamed sheet goods in the flooring industry. But for the changing materials' components, it's all the same stuff. A somewhat less expensive means to cover large and high traffic areas. It is easy to clean and...
I live in SW Pennsylvania. This is not an area that has much interest in Oriental Rugs. About 20 years ago, I purchased some very nice rugs at an estate auction. I got six rugs of various sizes (largest being 15 x 20). I don't know anything about these types of rugs, but for less than a...
My wife has a new job, but it's difficult to say what she does.
She sells seashells down by the seashore.
Now that I'm older, I am lucky that someone calls me every day. A guy from India is very concerned about the warranty on my Suzuki.
A lady called and wanted the serial number for my copy...
"Day old bread" My Mom would send me to the bakery to buy day old bread at half the price of fresh bread. I think, now, that the day old bread may have been more than one day old when I bought it, but it was all we could afford.
