It’s been a while since I did a theme week. Frankly, I’m tired of politics and general rambling. So, I think it’s high time to bring another one to the blog. Recent events are stirring my creative juices (more on that in Friday’s post). Therefore, without further ado, I present “Creative Week”. The first installment… Read more »
Ugh. I have to say it again. These comic books are going to be the end of me. It goes well beyond simply being older, too. It’s all about presentation and storage. Which leads, naturally, to another dumb idea of mine. You shouldn’t need much of a backstory. By now, you know I am a… Read more »
The big birthday BBQ is in the rear view mirror and so, thoughts naturally turn to…Halloween. Well, natural for me, at least. Sure, you say, it’s barely mid-June. But, in truth, preparation for Halloween can never start too early. You see, it’s scary how fast time flies. When I “upped my game” last year for… Read more »
Most people don’t end up in situations like me. I was fired during the financial crisis, found no one wanted to hire me, rolled the dice on the stock market and ended up retired. That’s what we call “retrospectively lucky”. Still, even now, I find it hard admitting it’s time to retire. In this case,… Read more »
Planning out my Halloween goody bags is pretty simple. I have a spreadsheet I adjust each year for contents and quantity. But for one year, I’ve never run out of bags to give away. Admittedly, I’ve had to “cross over” an age group now and then (giving out young boy bags to older boys), but… Read more »
Or, I wonder how many post titles he can come up with using the word “wonder”. Moving on from my youth, my teen years were marked by a life-changing event: I was now old enough to become gainfully employed. Of course, teen years also brought graduation from high school and then college, living away from… Read more »
Which can also be read as “I wonder how he got to be like that”. In the first installment of my series of self-reflective posts about how I’ve led an interesting life after all, we begin at the beginning. It’s perfect! I’ve always been good at problem solving. My personality is built on logic and… Read more »
Or, more precisely, out of space. As I recently mentioned, I’ve given up on trying to read via an e-reader (in my case, a Kindle). That leaves me in an untenable position, however. Because, I don’t just like paperbacks (and hardcovers), but I like comics. More to the point, I like that comics are now reprinted… Read more »
In my last post, I used a picture of a “holiday card” inspired by the TV show “The Walking Dead”. In that post, I mentioned I’m not a fan. Today. we’re going to expand on that a bit. First, let me say I’ve read three graphic novel collections (comprising 36 issues of the comic on… Read more »
My Dad is great. He’s also a pain in the butt. By extension, that makes him a great pain in the butt. I joke with my Sister that the butt part is why he’s such a great Dad – if he didn’t care so much, he wouldn’t bother being a pain. Sure, there are times… Read more »
