Well, this one time, many, many years ago, I lived in a house with my mother in Highland Park, Illinois. A new neighbor had just moved in to the house next door. The woman there was an "animal lover" (swallow). We began to notice an increase in birds and squirrels along… Read full post »

As long as I can remember, Mother has been a sleep walker. Some sleepwalkers are funny and some are sad and some are goofy but Mother is just scary. She always appears out of nowhere, maybe right in your face as you leave the bathroom or looming over you while… Read full post »

              So, I had to have a complete physical because I am a Diabetic
and once that happens it's open season for the doctors and all who are attached to them. So, a sigmoidascope is part of a complete physical. A … Read full post »

 Mother was watching "The Bachelor" last night. Mother knows where and when to find every insipid, demeaning and insulting show there is.  When she has had enough vodka & vinegars, she passes out and I get to watch what I want. I didn't even know "The Bachelor" was still on. I… Read full post »

I saw something about political cartoons on OS home page. Maybe they weren't all political. Very few political cartoons are funny, to me. I feel if you just draw a picture and label everything in it with a topic that's "current" you have a political cartoon. Then people can use… Read full post »

It's a face I drew on a balloon and affixed to an empty bottle. After weeks and weeks of slow deflation, it was time to toss it.

I don't know if Sudzy ever caught on that it was him.

I am becoming "Sudzy obsessed". I think it's because he is easy pickin's, ripe with material and he never stops dropping our jaws with his mis-use of the English language or his endless pontification.

Just the same, I can't lay off of Sudzy any more than a dog can ignore… Read full post »

This was really a true story. I witnessed everything but the meat going in and the meat coming out. That sounds dirty. I think this was a successful test.

I am learning. Slow learning is still learning. My GF told me to do this and I never did. No wonder she doesn't hang around. This is a picture of me and Mother enjoying some TV programming.

So, once I had a job at a pet shop. I can't say it's name, because the subject is  too rich with material and I mention it a lot and they could still be alive. It was in an old, large building really close to my home and it paid $2.00 an… Read full post »

So, now I have three jobs. I have a newspaper delivery route. I work in a fruit transportation place in Chicago. I don't work at Big Red Pena's anymore, but Mr. Pena never really officially fired me, so legally, I'm still hired by him. Now, you know, I'm living pretty… Read full post »

So, I got this new job. The economy has forced my old employer to fire every body at Big Red Pena's Restaurant. Now it's just Mr. Pena and a Mexican guy and another guy that might be his kid. I looked and looked and looked until I found a job.… Read full post »

When I was a small boy, Illinois was mostly country and farms. I think once it was all farms except for Chicago. That's where you brought your pigs and cows if you lived in Illinois. They killed them right there next to the train tracks. It smelled awful and sounded pretty… Read full post »

I have to put up my posts in parts because my computer works so slow and because if I do it at work I can't get caught using Mr. Pena's computer. Last time I almost got caught. I try using the ones at the library, but I always have to… Read full post »

Wow! I'm so excited! My second blog EVER! I really don't get blogging. I read the blogs of others and still don't really get it. I started this blog because I was told to. So I am. Plus, it's free. That's enough for me. Don't you see? I can only do… Read full post »
