“God is a Scottish Drag Queen”

Obviously I live a sheltered life.  I have never heard of the performance, “God is a Scottish Drag Queen” before.  One of my knitting friends, Fiona Ellis,  posted it to my FB wall. Notice that I said “knitting” friend.  I didn’t say “theatre” friend, or “drag queen” friend or even “Scottish” friend. Apparently this review […]

Never a Snark….

….always a Boojum.  I must apologize for not finishing the story of the intruder that my sister found sleeping on her couch one night. I thought that I had forgotten what had happened and in fact, in talking to my sister, I realized that what had actually happened was a “Boojum” – a drifting off

Couch Surfing or….

Someone posted to my FB wall a story about a family in BC who had come home to find a naked man cooking breakfast in their kitchen. He had apparently showered, shaved etc, and in fact had done everything, but gotten dressed and was about to make himself a meal, when the owners arrived home!!

Alien Hand Syndrome

Well it’s “hump day” and my lunch for today has been cancelled so I am a little disorganized having to re-group. As a result, this is a short post. Phantom cheque I am always fascinated by “alien body parts,” mainly hands and feet. I wrote the other day of being drawn to a post about

“Can she make a cherry pie, Billy Boy, Billy Boy?”

Just Hit Refresh

I wish it were that simple. One of the problems with writing every day and every other day, the year before, is that you end up covering a lot of topics of general interest, a good number of obscure topics, since there are fewer of them, and if your area of “intense” interest (knitting) happens

Found Poetry

What to do when there is nothing else to do. Well, I often resort to Found Poetry. It’s an idle way of taking a preset arrangement of words and either re-arranging them or keeping them in the same order but putting in the “significant pauses” that make the words “poetry” or thoughtful comments on life.
