    I’m working on it. 😄 As I’ve gone over ad nauseum in these pages before, I have a bad habit of pushing myself too far, things go off the rails, and I end up screwed. Far too many double shifts, seven day work weeks and poor sleep/nutrition make for a very unhappy gorilla. Now that…

    I’ve been thinking on this one for a day or so and all I keep coming up with is… Nothing. 😄 Let me think. Well, I can’t dance, so that’s out. I’m not a ninja, either. Super secret agent? Nope. Well, there is one thing. Yep. You guessed it. I’m Batman. Do me a favor…

    No, not the Lee Major’s classic, nor the reboot either. Oh, and the Winter Guy too. ⛄ I am not a fan of hot weather, really. Never have been. And Spring time wreaks havoc with my sinuses, so my favorite times of year are definitely Fall and Winter. I love the cool/cold weather, because I…

    I completed my images for Susan Braithwaite’s SLDS Challenge, week ending 03/29. I really liked the version she came up with. It was quite killer indeed! The prompt for this week is: A tense standoff at a border crossing Of course, my dumb ass misread it initially and thought “escape” in my head for some…

    So, it would seem we’ve reached the end of another week. Hope it’s been a good one for everybody! Looking forward to the chance of snow and ice here tonight and tomorrow. Hello Spring! 😄 Anyone got big plans for the weekend? Not much up here except chores, errands, hopefully some writing, and maybe shoveling.…

    Oddly enough, I was discussing this very topic with Kymber Hawke yesterday in her comment section. Today, lo and behold, here we are. 😄 Anyhow, my pick would have to be my high school history teacher. He was a bit offbeat, funny as hell, and pretty damn smart. Most of all though, he truly cared…

    Happy Thursday, everyone! It’s NTT time yet again! We’re coming off another stellar week of fantastic entries from one and all! My sincerest thanks to everyone for making this what it’s become.

    I have answered a variation of this question before. Or, they all just run together in a blur and I am imagining it. Either is valid, I suppose. 😄 Man, I don’t know. I feel like I am running out of answers for these things. I wish I could do creative stuff more often, I…

    Good day, all. We’ve now reached the halfway point of the week, and I hope it’s been good to everyone so far. Temps around here have dropped and there’s a chance of snow/mix in the forecast for later in the week, so Spring is not quite sprung yet. 😄 The NTT Entries for the 03/14/24…

    For now, at least. I have a few, but at this time I don’t have a desire to get another. I do have an idea for possibly down the road, but if it happens, that’s a ways away, because it won’t be cheap. 😄 And no, I’m not telling anyone how they manage to tattoo…

    If I had to pick one word, I think it would be “complex”. I guess we could say most humans are, but I don’t know that I could categorize myself as any one singular word beyond that. I’m not always happy, not always sad, not always angry, etc. Sometimes I am multiple things at the…

    The remainder of Korv’s journey through Meadow Field was uneventful. There was a chill wind in the air, but the clouds had parted slightly and the sun shone down from above. Korv still felt a slight uneasiness, but it was more akin to the thrill one feels before an impending battle than a feeling of…

    I have received some very nice compliments in my day, but one of the nicest is when people have told me I am the best boss they ever worked for, anywhere. I don’t consider myself a cookie-cutter, Management 101 type guy. I know professional protocols, policies and all the buzzwords, but when I am working…

    Might be a 70s song or two in there as well. 🤷‍♂️ 😋 My pick for this week’s No Theme Thursday image. Yes, it’s stupid and yes, I’m just screwing about, but see how many song titles or lyrics you can identify. 😉 Summertime girls burnin’ down the avenue Shot through the heart, but I…

    Because putting “bus” of “bike” in there would have thrown off the cadence. And ruined my slight movie reference. 😉 I mean, I guess it all depends on how you’re fixed for time, doesn’t it? If you have lots of time, and are athletically inclined, one could take a bike. If you like to see…

    Who else but the one and only G.Q. Rilla himself? Now, if you are looking for a more serious answer, I would probably say my grandmother. She didn’t mince words, took no shit from anyone, and was an all around badass woman. *Mic drop*
