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…

O’Dark Thirty
October 29, 2023 I confused Perkins this morning. I never get up at the Crack of Dark unless I have an early morning flight to catch out of Richmond, which requires me to leave 2 ½ hours before departure time. But that wasn’t at all the case this morning. I can’t say exactly why the…
Read MoreNot My Words – Farewell Letter from Royal Canadian Mounted Police
Note: This is NOT my composition, but something I received as an email in January 2022, written by a 21-year veteran of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. I copied and pasted it without edits. This is not the first time I have seen most of this information, but it reiterates what I have seen and…
Read MoreEyebrows
A person’s eyebrows can say a lot about him or her. And they contribute more to a person’s overall appearance than you might think. Perhaps that is why some people become so obsessed with completely reconstructing them. I believe there are four basic elements that define a person’s brow; color, placement, and intensity. The fourth…
Read MoreOblivious
I could write an essay titled “Oblivious” once a month. Its definition is, after all, “not aware of or not concerned about what is happening around one.” I could spend plenty of time castigating others who don’t seem to know what I know for being oblivious of current political, health, cultural, or other trends. Conversely,…
Read MoreVacuums, Vortices, and Dead Cats
So much regrettable behavior is born of fear. Because we fear being judged for all kinds of reasons from all kinds of sources, we sometimes neglect to be “real,” to expose our personal “lack.” It can be lack of specific knowledge, experience, money, things, or “important” friends. Yes, and this fear of exposing our vulnerability…
Read MoreBeneath or Above the Surface – Struggles or Blessings
People refer to exploring what lies beneath the surface. A duck seems to glide across the water, but if you look beneath the calm surface his webbed feet are paddling like crazy. What lies beneath is often unseen effort or even struggle. He works harder than we think to move forward and to make it…
Read MoreCanebrakes and Other Magical Places
Today, I found a very old copy of “The Swamp Fox” which I decided I must read because Francis Marion came from the PeeDee region of South Carolina, where my parents’ people came from. Also, the name Marion (or Marian) recurs on both sides of my family, being my middle name as well. So, I…
Read MoreThe Barbie Experience
My plan was to write about something much more serious today, but what the heck! The Barbie doll was introduced to America in 1959, when I was seven years old. Although I had a houseful of beautiful dolls of all sorts, I never owned a Barbie. Mother determined her to be “obscene.” Perhaps she knew…
Read MoreLucretia Mott and Other Warped Histories
Lucretia Mott was a real person. I was surprised a couple of years ago to discover she was not quite the woman I had been taught. Apparently, when you are the youngest child in the brood and your older siblings are bright, impressionable, and anxious to impress with the incredible knowledge that they learned in…
Read MoreCrepe Myrtle and Forsythia
I used to fancy myself a super potential gardener. At one time I was dynamite with house plants. But I’ve discovered that I am not reliable with those, poor things. Nevertheless, I love nature and thank God every day for the trees and plants that surround me, especially the flowering ones. Unlike people who have…
