  • Grandma’s Sugar Cream Pies

    Which food, when you eat it, instantly transports you to childhood? I love a good sugar cream pie mostly out of the sake of nostalgia. They remind me of my grandma’s love. The family has the recipe and a few people have even tried to make one for me. There was just something about my…

  • An Unknown Knight

    Who is your favorite historical figure? There are lots of people that have influenced my life with their historical examples. But I’m not going to pick a prophet or a king. That would be too easy. I’m going to pick a man that I don’t even know the name of. When I visited Germany I…

  • My First Crush

    Write about your first crush. I started crushing on girls when I was very young. Probably first or second grade. I have no idea who that would be. It’s not like I talked to anyone about it. I certainly wasn’t the kind of boy to approach a girl I felt affection for. At least not…

  • Touristy

    I am not much of a traveler. I’ve got responsibilities at home. I need to stay right here in Wisconsin. If I did travel the two places that I would like to see are Gaudi’s La Sagrada Familia in Barcelona because of the Alan Parson’s Project song and the Khajuraho temples in India dedicated to…

  • Being Weird

    What’s your favorite thing about yourself? Every person is unique and special. I am also strange and critical. My level of weirdness is higher than most people and I like it that way. There’s a meme that goes around once in a while where a daughter asks her mom, “What is normal?” The mom responds…

  • No Retirement

    How do you want to retire? I want to be doing something useful for the rest of my life. Retiring and doing nothing for years until I die sounds awful. I hope I can always be engaged in meaningful work.

  • Bodily Autonomy

    What’s the oldest thing you own that you still use daily? I own my body. I have used it all my life. Not a day has gone by without me using it one way or the other. Nothing else even comes close to how much I use my body. And I assure you that nobody…

  • Moving Fingers Writing

    On of my favorite stanzas in poetry is:“The moving finger writes and having writMoves on nor all your piety and witCan lure it back to cancel half a lineNor all your tears wash out a word of it.”(Fitzgerald’s translation from Omar Khayyam’s Rubaiyat) This caused an argument with Stephanie. You see she’s among other things…

  • No Vacancy

    Describe one of your favorite moments. When my wife and I were first married I had a night audit job for the local Microtel. One very busy night when we were full I got a very angry customer. He was angry because we were full and didn’t have a “No Vacancy” sign. He was about…

  • Notable Events (Follow-Up)

    I went to sleep. That’s not notable. Help get my son to his day program. Also Unnotable. Played some mobile games. Typical. I haven’t had my coffee yet. The horror. I watched the cat play with a live mouse. That’s a little out of the ordinary, Let me know if you think any of that…
