Ultramaroon rises again

Since Morgan was released, on parole, from prison. One might argue that it's early days and I ought not to expect overmuch; certainly su...

My wife continues, in the face of all the evidence, to insist that Morgan is highly intelligent. Perhaps she is but she certainly doesn'...

I'd be lying if I denied enjoying the last three weeks. Such a pleasure not having the dancing hippopotami in the room above. Such a ple...

It probably wouldn't surprise you overmuch to hear that I'm not impressed with Halloween. As I said to my wife the other day, 's...

As you probably don't remember I'm a big fan of British Comedy, especially comedy from an earlier, more genteel period, the 1960...

My sister complained, most vociferously, that I hadn't updated my blog since August 1. When I responded with the suggestion that *she* t...

My wife and I went out for dinner tonight. I had the shrimp linguini with lobster and she had clams with linguini. Part way through the meal...

I don't know that you'll remember, or want to remember, but I'm writing a new soundtrack to our movie [ ^ ]. As much as I'd ...

Uh huh - I'm now old enough to order from the cheap section at the back of the menu in the cheaper eateries around here. I honestly don...

I'm telling you, this being in loco parentis stuff ain't easy. You'll recall that a few months ago Andrew started showing off a ...

Do You Have Cotton in Your Ears? You probably thought you had better hearing?? You were wrong! The highest frequency you can hear is: 12khz ...

Well, at least for now. You'll remember that I posted, a week ago, about Morgans troubles and travails. In the event, I didn't atten...

I haven't had a good one in ages! Morgans second was delivered this week - Thursday morning to be precise. I actually didn't know th...

Shamelessly stolen from CodeProject (and probably the poster over there stole it from elsewhere). Dear Thorsby School. God bless you for the...

if that much! You might remember this post [ ^ ] a couple of weeks ago. The journalist concerned contacted me and we had a bit of a talk on ...

I had occasion today to visit the local Social Security Administration. Call it an exercise in making sure that, when I retire, a decade or ...

at least according to one deli worker. This happened a few weeks ago and I didn't feel much like writing about it at the time, but on fu...

There comes a time in the life of every conscientious parent (or one who stands in loco parentis ) when action must be taken. Thus to last n...

Back in 1995, our movie safely finished (4 years previously), and 'Scarless: The Unseen Bits' (the inevitable making of movie) final...

When I lived in Melbourne I had personalised number plates (car tags). MANDO. It's one habit we Australians seem to have, when abbreviat...

Photobucket (the site I use to host images) was down when I wrote the last post. Here's a shot of three dags. Left to right, Gary, Moi a...

started last night. Uh huh, counting down until the *next* trip to Australia, which is happening a year earlier than I anticipated. It all b...

Andrew had been rather secretive a couple of months ago, something I put down to being 17 years of age. It turns out that I wasn't far o...

over experience. You'll remember that I mentioned, a couple of weeks ago, that our cat Tiny had died. I wasn't kidding when I said t...
