fellow gnomies…

I’m relatively new, so forgive me if I’ve missed something.
Blog brothers and sisters - what do you think about some sort of group for Gnome Bloggers?  A slightly less public place to share tips or maybe get some help for your own blog.   A place to check status maybe, especially after recent events (no, you’re […]

thank you, bloggergnomies…

I had no idea when I signed on how cool this would be.  And even better, I had no idea how really interesting the bloggers themselves were.
For the most part, the comments are well thought out.  Some of the more interesting ones are from fellow bloggergnomes (ok, I made that word up, so what?).   […]

it’s ugly ‘down south’…

Today we hopped in the land yacht and spent last week’s pay driving from PA to MD. I’ll detail that later on. There was one moment we experienced that still has me reeling…
PA does not have Waffle House (good for you, you say). The first time we ever encountered one was […]

why didn’t they just ask me?

All she did was use an M.R.I. to find the place in the brain where the ability to detect sarcasm resides. But then, you probably already knew it was in the right parahippocampal gyrus.What you may […]

My wife is going on a long trip today. I am not.
She is very excited. I am not.
She has been bouncing off the walls in anticipation. I have not.
She has spent the last week preparing. I have not.
Believe it or not, I am less than thrilled at the whole idea of […]

alternate blog name suggestions

I asked some of my closest lunatics for some ideas of what to name this blog.
An early favorite was:
Pseudo-variant phase anomalies in a non-coherant Doppler shift
(thanks, Al)
The next entry went like this:
I think you should only write at night, which would make that “Nocturnal
Thermionic Emissions”
I’m going to guess that he was encouraging me.

it was so cold last night……

It was SO COLD last night….
HOW COLD WAS IT?
It was so cold, my wife turned off TWO of the THREE fans in the bedroom.
You think I’m kidding?
She goes to bed hours before I do, but if I go to bed quietly at 2am and turn off a fan, a disembodied voice from beneath the blankets […]

Hello world!

This blog post has been generated automatically, but I’ve decided that I can’t sit still for pre-generated content.
Years ago, some helpful soul said my writing style was just perfect for this new thing called blogging. Never one to listen to advice, I successfully managed to avoid listening to her. Here we are, years […]
