BlahBlahBlog Explained
I’ve been telling stories since I could talk, and wrote my first comic book, “The Spooky Boos,” in 3rd grade. When not committing stories to words, I was drawing pictures of them. I thought, “Hey! Some of these are worth sharing!” So, I decided to create a blog. But I got held up for 5…

I Wasn’t There
I wasn’t there. I wasn’t even here. But as the years and decades roll by, I see that my children and their children are oblivious to the most horrendous manmade catastrophe in World History, World War II. We cannot, we must not let it pass from active memory., I watched a documentary about the English…
Read MoreHeavy Skies and Soft Days
I’d been in the shop all day until Perkins pawed at me and gave me that insistent look with that little ear-spread and head tilt. “Do you want to go out, Perkins?” With that, she entered her full-body dance mode, head skewed for a twirly move, nails clicking on the floor, and that little nub…
Read MoreIt’s Not Fair!
I don’t recall them ever saying it in unison, but each of my parents, at one time or another, had the exact same reply whenever I bemoaned a decision with “It’s not fair!” That one would be the final shot in the qualifying duel. Those three parental comebacks were on a par with Ralphie asking…
Read MoreBirthdays
Some birthdays are more memorable than others. I have now experienced 73 of them, plus the original event which I cannot remember. I expect it felt somewhat traumatic. It’s a fact that the woman giving birth (if it’s natural childbirth) remembers every detail of each of her children’s births, but not her own. Good deal!…
Read MoreThe Magic of Touch
Because I’m not dead yet, I need to change this, not the world, just what I do in it. I have my opinions, although they have changed and undulated over the years with experience, learning, and perspective. I hope they continue to do this because I’m still alive and growing in knowledge and spirit if…
Read MoreThe Right Dog
Perhaps she was a little too young when I took her to Obedience School. If a grade were given, I’d say she passed with a low C-minus. She was far too happy to be in the company of multiple other dogs with so many interesting-smelling body parts. Nevertheless, I worked diligently with her daily for…
Read MoreWhat Mother Didn’t Know
One day last summer, I was reminded of my childhood as I hobbled around on one and a half feet because I’d stepped on a nail down at the water’s edge next to my dock. I was gathering sticks for Perkins’s favorite game when I stumbled and heavily planted my foot on a well-camouflaged board.…
Read MoreYeah, Yeah Stories….
After high school I had limited contact with my parents. While I was in college in Virginia they moved to Louisiana (another story in itself). I saw them only during Christmas and summer breaks. Following my third year, I married and was permanently in Virginia, a thousand miles from their chosen final home. Traveling there…
Read MoreThank You, Burt Mustin!
Until very recently, I didn’t know his name. But I knew his face. He was a character actor who played in more than 150 movies and TV programs as well as working on radio and the stage from 1951- 1977. He was that recognizable tall, gangly, bald old man who just showed up everywhere. But…
Read MoreThe Great Game of “Yes – But”
We all play the game of “Yes – But(t)….” And we each choose which “butt” is defensible. There is a lesson here and I well remember being taught it by my father (over and over again, as a matter of fact). It was not a pleasant lesson, and I fear too few people have learned…
