Got Up Today On The Wrong Side Of Bed, Smack-Dab Into The Wall.

We’re a year now into the pandemic lockdown in the States; and elsewhere around the world, likewise give or take a few weeks. How would we have survived this crisis without the Internet? We would have the same way, I … Continue reading

Snowmageddon, Or Is It: Snowpocalypse?

Another snow event is forecasted for the Philadelphia region on Sunday, February 7, but not cause for a state of emergency for many as this past week’s three-day event turned into. Haven’t seen this much snow in a while. It’s … Continue reading

Going Stir Crazy

It’s now into week four of isolation. Thank goodness for the Internet’s ability to instantly communicate with others in real time. Present-day life without the Net and our electronic devices would be incredibly debilitating and lonely for those with no … Continue reading

Virus Alert

Today’s catchphrase is “Coronavirus,” scaring the bejeebies out of everybody. Makes me want to have a Corona Beer; yet I’d rather just a bottle though, than a case of it. Here’s an oldie but a goody. Remember this one? It … Continue reading

Today’s Tirade: Put a Sock in It!

Why do small dogs have such annoying barks? Not only does the shrill of their yapping grind my nerves like someone’s shifting the gears of a standard transmission without applying the clutch, but the sheer intensity of the mongrel’s yipping, … Continue reading

How Much Do I Love the Internet? Let Me Count the Ways!

Sixty-one days remain until Thanksgiving, eighty-eight ’til Christmas. Ninety-four days are left to 2019, three hundred and ninety-five before the U.S. presidential election. Yikes, let’s not get too far ahead of ourselves. Autumn just started last week. We need to … Continue reading

La Plume De Ma Tante

Guess I didn’t learn my lesson from last week’s entry, so here I am again, pen in hand; no, not literally with la plume de ma tante—that’s French for “my aunt’s pen”—but tapping away on a keyboard. One of my … Continue reading

Let’s See Whom Else We Can Offend

Politics and religion make strange bedfellows. Reading or hearing that worn-out saying makes me always think of an unlikely pair in the sack. Not wanting to date myself too badly, I’ll go as far back to picturing Margaret Thatcher between … Continue reading

Those Were the Days

Times have changed, at least for those who are over the age of forty, born in the late ’70s. That’s when talk of the Internet began with terms like “Surfing the Net,” or “Computer Viruses.” I couldn’t help but envision … Continue reading
