1. “At the heart of our ad-saturated democratic process is a moral paradox. Politicians raise and spend billions of dollars to convince us to trust them. But the fevered competition for votes virtually compels them to lie to us.” Dana Radcliffe 2. The red leaf lips photo posted here, which I got from the Recycled […]
1. This post began when I was with my sister Kathy for her last chemo treatment and she said ‘why don’t you take a picture of the #13 chemo station for your 13 Thursday?’ 2. The photos posted here sum up the reasons why I traveled 800 miles to Massachusetts in November (and missed THIS […]
1. In October leaves fall like rain and every now and then black walnuts drop like hailstones. 2. I like to spell Halloween like this: Halloweeeeeee n. 3. Really? A cupcake ATM machine? HERE. 4. Posted on Facebook by my friend Scott during the height of Hurricane Sandy’s winds: If the answer is blowing in […]
1. “The squeaky wheel often needs new bearings.” – My Dharmacratic friend, Will. 2. Someone last week said they liked the “randomocity” of my 13 Thursday lists. Intrigued, I looked up the word and found randomocity blogs, Facebook pages and a record company, but no sign of the word in the dictionary. 3. The internal […]
1. Headlines like this keep life interesting: Man dies after live roach-eating contest in Florida. 2. What could be stranger than a video game starring an Italian plumber named Mario (the most famous character in video history) and his brother Lugi who live in a mushroom kingdom? I guess the answer might be the fact […]
1. The first thing I said upon waking Monday morning was, “the party’s over,” meaning THIS. 2. Then I rolled over onto a token from Chuck E. Cheese. 3. I wonder if Chuck E. Cheese was named after the same guy in THIS Rickey Lee Jones song. 4. I did some research and wasn’t able […]
1. I think of a life like I think of a poem. The beginning is important. It should say something meaningful and have some resolution at the end. 2. Sometimes I feel guilty that my sisters can’t grow their nails and I have to cut mine because they get so long. 3. I wonder if […]

1. The soundtrack of September is cracking nuts. The squirrels gather them up and drop them on our shed roof to break. 2. What will they think of next? Take a look at THIS guitar boat. 3. Maybe what they will think of next is vases made of soap that look like porcelain heirlooms. See […]
1. Sometimes I watch the blog like a clock. What time is it? It’s 3 comments. 2. I recently got a phone call for one of my online alter-ego Colleen Redmans. She’s an active Democrat from Alaska who was married to a Jim Redman (my brother’s name) who recently passed away. Another Colleen Redman alter-ego […]
1. At the Floyd Yoga Jam this weekend I had a silly pint of beer. See HERE. 2. Another petal in the lotus of Floyd. – What Woody Crenshaw, owner of the Floyd Country Store, said about the Yoga Jam. 3. The photo above reminds me of a land shark (the name of one […]
1. Every time I get a wild card while playing UNO THIS song plays in my head. 2. An aesthetic intervention from the pothole gardener: see it HERE. 3.
