The Monkey Exhibit

Today’s post is a song I wrote. It is officially my eighth song.
I started out wanting to write about things that I know to be true, things that could not be argued. I was sitting in class alone, so that is where the beginning came from (no, nothing hangs on the walls in [...]

When Roger is away… the Admin will play!

So, what sort of mischief should I do while Roger is gone? He won’t notice until Monday the 29th, so I could wreak all sorts of havoc.
First, I am going to blatantly promote some websites… let’s see…
Brick Labs - Lego Robotics and Mindstorms
Crafts At Home [...]

In light of the fact that today is my only day here at the University this week and the fact that I’m leaving soon to go home, I think I’ll put off all posting until next week.
Take care.

There are two reasons I feel comfortable posting my first recorded poem today. 1) Nobody ever responds to my poems (in general…almost as a rule, though) and 2) it is my birthday so people are more prone to go easy on this early work. If I keep up this justification it will [...]

Geof asked the question in his recent post. He also mentioned that we could write about it and just let him know. What an excellent idea!
With money being tight in our house, and with me being as picky as I am, I find that I don’t buy a lot of music unless 1) [...]

A week ago Saturday my wife and I went to a small stage set in a hidden school in an out-of-the-way town to see a play called “A Bad Year for Tomatoes” which I had read about in the paper. The play definitely was far more grand than the setting allowed for.
You can read [...]

“Pesky, protected monkeys doing hard time in jail” BY KIM BARKER (Chicago Tribune):
PATIALA, India - (KRT) - The thief threatened children with bricks and ripped the buttons off shirts. He stole tomatoes from one home and snatched bread from another. Down the street, he briefly fled with a differential equations book and beat a calculator [...]

My wife was just getting up from a nap while I was wide awake and bouncing around, talking her head off. She wasn’t impressed. I told her I was going to write a country song called My Baby Doesn’t Smile Anymore. She didn’t care. After a few minutes she came out [...]

I hate big cities. Keep in mind that a big city to me might be a comparative hamlet to you. For me, anything larger than Bangor, Maine is a big city. Therefore my disappointment in having to go to Portland, Maine for this concert. One of my reasons for disliking big [...]

Matthew West
I must confess, Mr West
Did not strike my…interest.
He sang every word, even when talking,
Which he not only did between songs
But during songs, too.
I still can’t help but feel bad for performers, though,
When they try to get audience participation
But the audience is mega-lame
And when no one wants their autograph
After the show.
I don’t expect much from [...]

This one is dedicated to Trey who often regales us with tales of small towns…I hope you will all take the extra time necessary to read the entire thing and let me know what you think…nothing beats a true story…
In the midst of the hustle and bustle of the busy city of Bangor sits the [...]

One thing I have to explain is that I don’t keep up with the band’s going ons as much as I would like to, nor as much as I could, nor as much as many other people do (you know who you are), so my review is from my point of view only.
Share the Well

1) My new moderation is working great. I just deleted 79 spam comments before they were posted to my site. It took a lot less time than when I had to delete the after they were posted. Ahhh…
2) Teaser: Coming Soon: What happened to Roger yesterday when he entered The [...]

They are such great things. You can either sum up or solve all the world’s problems on a 3 X 15″ sticker. Now that’s efficiency!
For example, one of my favorites: “I started with nothing, and I still have most of it left” This sticker sums up a great problem in [...]

In order to go to the Mark Schultz concert this Thursday night I was going to skip two classes. One Thursday afternoon so that I could get to Portland in a timely manner and one Friday morning so I could sleep in after the late night. I am happy to announce that both [...]

Thank you to all my friends and family who visit and post here.
I wish debilitating physical and mental injuries upon those who have wasted my time by mass posting ’spam’ comments to my site. Last Wed. or Fri. I deleted 40. Today it seems I have upward of 80. I [...]
