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…

Slippers and Stuff
I love my purple slippers. They are the best slippers I’ve ever owned, even now that they are three years old. They are purple suede slip-ons lined with fleece. They have soles thick enough that I can carry out the trash across the gravel driveway without bruising or soaking my tender feet in snow melt.…
Read MorePick One Moment
Someone asked me to “pick that one moment in your life you’d like to live over and over again.” Either that was a really dumb challenge, or maybe I’ve just moved so far beyond that mindset that I can’t seriously consider it. It would make more sense to ask if I remembered where I was…
Read MoreImportant People
Who are the “important people” and what makes them so? I had an in-law with whom I could never bond. Any time we would begin a conversation, I could never hold his gaze. His eyes were searching the room to see who else came in, and the minute someone more important arrived he would turn…
Read MoreDoing Nothing
When I am asked, “Are you busy? What are you doing?” I usually respond, “Nothing. I’m not doing anything.” But having spent a week and a half on imposed “vacation,” I’ve discovered that I really don’t know, or have forgotten, how to “do nothing.” All of my claims of nothingness are lies. While I was…
Read MoreMy Body
I’m just asking a basic question or two, here, not judging. I thought of this after watching a reel online representing an unseen woman, possibly calling on the phone, seeking information about terminating her pregnancy at 34 weeks. She was asking about the procedure and looking for confirmation that she was not crazy or out…
Read MoreI Get it. It Looks Stupid.
Trying to be Christian is hard. I understand why so many people abandon the effort every day. Professing such a belief is not for wimps, and more and more it seems it is just about impossible to meet the criteria. The social pressure against it is palpable to all five senses. Who knew? Sadly, what…
Read MoreBeware The Exploding Pillow
This is a cautionary tale and not one about feather pillows. I recently wrote about my successful housecleaning foray, which happened a week ago and is only today being taken up again…. The action had to be paused because; (1) I had to spend time and effort congratulating myself on a decent start, (2) I…
Read MoreMiss Havisham, Jr.
I’ve fooled some people into thinking I’ve been handling widowhood marvelously. They haven’t seen my house or my book-keeping. This is how people become hermits. They are so overwhelmed with the pile-up of daily chores and duties that things just seem to fall into ruin, and they are embarrassed to invite anyone over. Preparing for…
Read MoreAmnesia
I thought of titling this “The Jewish Problem,” but then I thought better. There is no “Jewish Problem,” but there is a broadening chasm of a “Humanity Problem.” Evil always seeks out a scapegoat, a focus against which to draw together those who are confused, in want, and who lack a star to guide them…
Read MoreWhat Is Love?
Paul McCartney famously asked what’s wrong with silly love songs. The question is the answer. Love is the deepest form of necessary silliness in the human soul. Some of us have spent decades wool-gathering, trying to define it and its importance. I wish I could impart to my children the absolute volcano of emotion a…
