‘Tis the season for eyes glowing in the dark of night as a critter creeps in your direction...hissing...spitting...and then you realize that the critter is your own pet cat.
One day last week, Bob went on an adventure. We have two pet kitties. Bob is the boisterous one. Full of energy. Capable of...
As we sometimes do, this week you will be getting a little bit of this...and a little bit of that...
...first up, a mea culpa, which is fancy Latin, I think, for oops.
Last week, I shared my excitement about getting to touch a slice of rock from the moon. I said that the rock was about 4 billion...
Last Saturday night, I stepped out in our front yard to take a look at the moon. Did the same thing Sunday night.
By Sunday night, a full moon was shining bright in a clear October sky. At one point on Saturday night, a wisp of a cloud appeared near the moon, creating a bit of a ghost-like image. A...
Our sinuses seem to be improving. Maybe it was the drastic change in the weather. By the way, all of those who like the cooler temperatures, please raise your hand. A little bit more rain would be nice, too.
My recent little sniffly sinus adventure didn’t keep me from trying to go for a walk every...
To tell you the truth, your writer was a bit concerned about how things would go this week, at least when it came to crafting yet another not-an-award-winning column.
That’s why I am so grateful for squirrels...and a special event which unfolded over the weekend.
Squirrels, as you know, are cute...
Honestly folks...you can’t say that you weren’t warned about the image of the snake, which we will get back to in just a bit...
...just because I can’t think of anything else to call this week’s adventure, we’re going with Close Encounters of the Critter Kind. Actually, make that Critters. As in a...
As promised, this week is Part 2 of your writer’s sort of adventures in Southern Illinois.
Last week, in Part 1, as you may recall, was about goats and cliffs and other such things. In Part 2, we intentionally go looking for snakes. Really. “We” would be a visitor we welcomed over the Labor Day...
A couple of weeks ago, we welcomed a special visitor from the north. Since we had a visitor, we decided to go on an adventure or two.
Actually, I’m not sure that “adventure” would be the right word for what we did. Adventure implies some sort of derring-do. Heroes go on adventures. We did not do...
Due to the big holiday on Monday, those of us who toil at The Paragraph Factory once again had to adjust our deadlines.
That meant yours truly had to come up with another not-an-award-winning column on Thursday. Because Thursday was Friday. Or, maybe Monday. Friday became Monday. Monday was what...
Over the weekend, my brain waves froze. Seems like I came down with a bad case of the rockin’ pneumonia. Or some other ailment that might give a person the boogie, woogie blues.
Before we get to that: a follow-up. A couple of weeks ago, I made note of the frustration of dealing with an online...
