   I've been blamed for a lot of things in my life, not all bad and some deserved, but this one I had to take exception to. Knowing at some point when this will happen is still a mystery to most men. But when something you know to be inevitable, most… Read full post »

Something was around the corner, my senses alerted me to it. Cautiously but quickly I stepped around the corner. Stepped right into it, damn dog!

   While in deep thought this afternoon, minding my own business I might add, I was somewhat perplexed with my thoughts that I had been having today, when my lovely wife walked in.
