Bric a brac
This page is the dumpster, the cavernous, faceless, identity-less posts that cannot be categorized easily into the other categories. They're not quite Travel, Food or Memoirs. They're not about Writing, they're certainly not Poetry or Fiction. Some are opinions pieces and right before I created this page they were tagged as "Opinion". However, not all of these are strictly opinions. Some are mere observations, others rants.
Anyway, here are all of those tired, unwashed and careworn denizens of this blog. I have to say some of these are not bad posts, it's just that they're like me; hard to define, or one could say, alphabetize, analyze, arrange, assort, brand, break down, catalogue, class, codify, distinguish, docket, file, grade, group, index, label, match, order, organize, peg, pigeonhole, regiment, segregate, sort, systematize, tabulate, tag, ticket, type, typecast. You get the general idea, right?
That's not to say I haven't tried categorising them. Just don't blame me if the category doesn't quite fit the slot..... In other words, I am blameless in this matter.

Soggy Socks
The Start Soggy Socks started off as Unsoggy Socks. For most of an otherwise uneventful day. But then events, or rather, one event, transpired and transformed the Unsoggy Socks into Soggy Socks. Read on and I will tell you How This Happened. The Second Start Now, you know, as a...Continue reading→
Shopping for gas
After yesterday’s chaos at the dealership over the service appointment for the car (I’ll tell you about it some other time…), I had yet another episode of the Shopping Blues. So the minivan, Rusty, was severely short of gasoline. So much so, that the yellow “Reserve” light shone steadily and...Continue reading→

Racism

The third, I have three reasons, is the real one. There is just so much I want to say. In this post, I suspect, I...Continue reading→
