Like a lampshade…
She was a hoot. A smart lady who blazed a trail for women. Yesterday, Phyllis Diller died. I did not know her personally or follow her movements too closely, yet when the news of her passing was announced on the radio, I shouted “No!”. I remember her from when I was a kid– her dry …

Recently, I visited an old friend: He’s been a little under the weather recently and is a little worse for wear, but hanging in there… Seriously though, I’ve been fond this sink and his funny little face since I was a kid and was tickled to see him again after a long parting.
Hopeless
Misery is such a hopeless romantic… I guess we’re all hopeless romantics at heart… Happy (early) Valentines Day, folks.

Things that got me through Snowpocalypse 2 and 3

Shoveling
Unless you live under a rock or more likely, are one of my readers from abroad you might not know that this weekend brought Baltimore an historic blizzard. So this afternoon once the snow had stopped, I helped my family dig out. My mum was kind enough to supply the following video of my father …
