100-Word Stroll for 5/2/17: 2 WAYS TO DEFEAT The SPIN CYCLE
You’re in the basement replacing a lightbulb. You look out the window and notice the sprinkler’s still on. While out turning the sprinkler off you see you left the mower out . . . “In the spin—” Pour yourself a refill and walk with me . . . “There’s a lot of stuff going on.” Do tell. … Continue reading
100-Word Stroll, 10/27/16: IF IT WAS EASY, ANYBODY COULD DO IT
Abraham Lincoln once said, “Whatever you are, be a good one.” I hate physical limitations. I like less being told I can’t do something. Young twerps getting air time just by sitting on their afts whining really grind my gears. Older ones, even more. You’ve heard it: “NOBODY SAID IT WOULD BE EASY. THEY SAID IT … Continue reading
100-Word Stroll, 9/29/16: TIMED FLIES
I sat watching flies. It later seemed obvious they were also observing me. Or, more to the point, my food and drink. Flies aren’t choosy.

When one sings on the praise team and customarily wears black and whatever, the black tends to welcome this or … Continue reading
QTMs for 5/3/16: HALFHEARTED NEVER ENTHUSED ANYBODY
The lyric is, “With my whole heart I will praise Him . . .” Yeah. Psalms. Even people who rarely read the Bible could probably pick out where that came from. The song’s based on Psalm 117, which is a short little thing that basically says, “Praise the Lord.” Okay. How many Psalms are there? … Continue reading
QTMs for 10/20/15: YOUR BEST, WHERE YOU ARE, WHAT YOU HAVE
Do that. Do your best right where you are with what you have. There’s always a critic or two around to gig you on how you could’ve done this or that better. Don’t let it even slow you down – much. Critics are always easy to identify; they’re the ones leaning against the door, doing … Continue reading
