Weighing . . .


. . . and choosing . . .


(from The Philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche by H.L. Mencken)
". . . Here was the beginning of intelligence in the boy - the beginning of that weighing and choosing faculty which seems to give man at once his sense of mastery and his feeling of helplessness. The old notion that doubt was a crime crept away. There remained in its place the new notion that the only real crime in the world - the only unmanly, unspeakable and unforgivable offense against the race - was unreasoning belief. Thus the orthodoxy of the Nietzsche home turned upon and devoured itself .  .  . "

C'mon . . .

. . . man . . .



Selfish though
I thought I were
I pale
If be compared

Though 'selfish'
May be incorrect
You're dazzling
I declare

Be purpose yours
Or for a profit
Too much weight
Is catastrophic

I only want
To be of use
While I remain
That's not obtuse

But now because
Ineptitude
In leading things
You're being shrewd

In my remaining
status now
The weight you throw
I feign allow

Or maybe not
It's hard to tell
And early still
Now to rebel

A Horse Is A . . .

. . . Horse. . .


Are YOU at a loss for a clever name for your horse?  Are you tired of acey-deucy names for your horses? Do words fail you when the situation calls for a snappy equine moniker?  Are the only horse names that come to YOUR mind Fury, Flicka or Wildfire?

Well YOU need worry no more!  Call US- ACME Horse Handles and your horse naming troubles will be over!

We will provide you with a hard-boot, added-weight, head of the stretch horse name of your choosing. . . and we also give you a 30day guarantee where we will replace your horse name absolutely free if you're not satisfied with the first one.

Sweat (horse-sweat?) no long over what you will call YOUR future triple-crown winner.  Suffer embarrassment no longer over your horse's lackluster name.  We come up with odds on horse names across the board.

Call us today at 123-WENAMIT.  That's 123-WENAMIT today.

Mama said . . .


. . . there'd be days like this . . . 
. . . and Mama was always right.  Well, at least mostly.

First, well it actually happened Sunday, not today. . . Russ' smart phone fell off the arm of the couch and did the triple back flip dive right into a glass of water. Pretty smart, in my estimation.  Not sure I could have done it.  They don't call it that for nothing.  (Hailey said the sound of the phone hitting the water will live with her for years.) 

He said he bought insurance for it but never heard from the provider about the insurance. Seems they have some kind of bogus email address for him and didn't call, write or otherwise pursue him regarding the insurance.

Then, the new business cards show 396 instead of 369 on the telephone exchange.  And darned if the Office Depot guy didn't have me proofread the card on the screen, in the store, before he pushed the "GO" button, and I missed it.  Matter of fact, it took me about two months to notice it.  Maybe that's why I haven't been getting any new calls!

The bathroom scale has also been behaving less than famously.  We noticed that we both weighed approximately five lbs more than formerly and that we care to. Discussions on purchasing a new scale have been underway for weeks.  We finally made our move and when ‘testing’ various models in the retail outlet we discovered that the most promising one actually adds about ten lbs.  Not a happy development.  Sometimes ignorance is, indeed, bliss.

Last, at the end of the evening as I sat down to write this, add graphics and music and get it ready for posting but remembered Pam said that no incoming email has been received.  I re-booted the router, twice now.  Nothing.  Checked the other hardware for the incoming fiber-optic line and discovered that the BATTERY NEEDS REPLACEMENT.

THE BATTERY NEEDS REPLACEMENT.  At 10:00PM when I want to sit down and relax and use the internet LIKE I DO EVERY NIGHT the BATTERY NEEDS REPLACEMENT.

Well. . . (De Capo Al Fine)
