I started thinking about my dog the other day and I wonder what would happen if we had to depend on him for food.

When I was driving I would ponder all kinds of important things. Things like why do squirrels raise their tails when they are running away from your vehicle? Keep in mind when I was driving I couldn’t use my phone to go online and research these things. After all I was driving. Come to think of it when I was driving I only had a flip phone.
You Can Go Home Again
Years ago I had a blog called “Behind a Dirty Windshield“, where I used to ponder the mysteries of life and everyday living from behind the windshield of whatever vehicle I happened to driving at the time. It was fairly successful at the time. I have tried to revive it here.
Alphabet Soup
I went to the doctor the other day. I’ll admit I haven’t been in a while. Mainly because I know what they are going to say. You would think I would listen to them if only so they can tell me something different.
Fifty Years
Fifty years. I will have been out of high school for fifty years in a couple of months. When you take the time to actually think about it, fifty years is a long darn time. We will be having a fiftieth class reunion in June, and honestly, I am not sure if I am looking forward to it or not.

The other day I said to myself “Self, we need to start writing again.” So with that in mind, I came up with some ideas to write about and began to research.

That’s how many days I’ve been here on this wonderful place we call earth. At least physically, mentally I’m not really sure.

As I continuously creep closer to senility, I tend to think about the past more. For the last week or so I keep thinking back to the things adults would tell us that just weren’t true. Yes, it’s true, our parents told us lies. Now I’m sure they had their reasons, and some of them may have even been legitimate, but they were lies nevertheless. Here are some of the ones I remember.
Scenes from an American Diner
Here is a post I pulled out of my draft pile.
Back in the late seventies or maybe the early eighties, Billy Joel had a song titled “Scenes From an Italian Restaurant”. Unfortunately, I don’t have any Italian Restaurants near me so I can’t describe any scenes from them. I suppose I could go to the nearest chain Italian Restaurant but is that really Italian? We had a nice Italian restaurant here in town, one that had been here for a long time. But the owner passed away recently and now it sits empty, no bottles of red, no bottles of white.
