*He spoke with the wisdom that can only come from experience, like a guy who went blind because he looked at a solar eclipse without one of those boxes with a pinhole in it and now goes around the country speaking at high schools about the dangers of looking at a solar eclipse without one of those boxes with a pinhole in it. *She caught your eye like one of those pointy hook latches that used to dangle from screen doors and would fly up whenever you banged the door open again. *The little boat gently drifted across the pond exactly the way a bowling ball wouldn’t. *McBride fell 12 stories, hitting the pavement like a Hefty Bag filled with vegetable soup. *From the attic came an unearthly howl. The whole scene had an eerie, surreal quality, like when you’re on vacation in another city and “Jeopardy” comes on at 7 p.m. instead of 7:30. *Her hair glistened in the rain like nose hair after a sneeze. *Her eyes were like two brown circles with big black dots in the center. *Her vocabulary wa...

I'm off to bingo today, so I'm giving you an encore performance (a rerun - lol) COSTUME CRAZY In addition to all of the colds, stuffy noses, sore throats and flu symptoms the Tribe of Tribulation has been though this year, I have endured a Major Mommy Meltdown from Wardrobe Malfunction. No, not like the infamous halftime debacle, but from having to invent several costumes to conjure up the look of many far-away lands. Conjuring up made mommy a witch by last week’s end. Daughter needed a new costume for every school day last week, as they were having international spirit week (which was not, as I quipped to an eye-rolling family, ghosts from foreign countries). . The entire family chimed in with suggestions. We discarded those with the risk of serious bodily injury, such as Human Olympic Torch to celebrate Greece, or lopping her head off so she could portray Marie Antoinette of France. They were off Monday for President’s Day, so I was spared constructing an Abe Lincoln beard,...

Today is pi day. I’ve never been a worshipper, but I find it interesting that there are people who worship at the church of pi . I’ve been worshipping at the porcelain throne. A stomach flu bug has sidelined me. March madness here is the dash to get to the toilet before one or more orifices explode, expelling the contents of my innards. So I have to make this brief. Not this brief, which does seem apropos, though, considering...LOL It is actually a safe! A place to hide your valuables! Gotta run (groan, horrible pun) Happy almost wordless Wednesday!

Do you believe in miracles? I think we should contact the Vatican for verification, because (insert angelic music with horns trumpeting) we have more than one working vehicle at our house! Of course (being us) it came at a price. Monday we had a medical emergency. Once the threat to life and limb was handled, we returned to husband’s car to discover a flat tire. One of the four very new, very expensive tires. Husband replaced the offender with the mini-tire from the trunk. He checked the deflated tire for signs of damage, expecting (being us) to see Satan’s pitchfork imbedded in the rubber. Finding nothing, off we wobbled, (the Neon does not like having the donut tire installed and tried to shake it off all the way there) to rake the tire man over the coals for selling us a tire that would choose to euthanize itself. Tire man blamed a bad valve stem. I shook my finger at it mightily, while scolding, “Bad valve stem! Bad!” Tire man replaced the naughty valve, and husband and I returned ...
