(Not losing my mind)Drive train gone getting on the A95

Here’s some current content, which only serves one purpose. For every ten posts, it’s good to mostly focus on your readers or followers or whatever you want to call them. However, it’s also important to show your personal side.
People want to do business, or even just interact, with other people they like. It’s that simple.

What I’ve done since the last time I blogged (last week just before #DigitalFreeSunday) – a long strange trip it’s been

It’s been another hell of a week, but I knew it was coming. So I planned accordingly. Quite a few things fall by the wayside when my life gets too busy, but the first thing’s blogging. I’m still writing, of course. Both professionally and privately. I’m working on a project right now that’s a dating… Continue reading What I’ve done since the last time I blogged (last week just before #DigitalFreeSunday) – a long strange trip it’s been

Hahahahaha … you know how to make a nice shot and you can get a better place for it

That title is completely computer generated. Just typed ‘Hahahahaha’ in & then used predictive text to create it. Someone told me recently that nobody read content anymore. It was a graphic designer or website builder, so it’s clear they’ve got another agenda than I do. Why even write. A blog? Really? It’s 2020 — who… Continue reading Hahahahaha … you know how to make a nice shot and you can get a better place for it

relaunching this blogging lark with a whimper in the night

Watching baseball in the middle of the night with a newborn in one arm and scattered thoughts running through my brain, I’m reaching for a decent explanation of why my digital scrawling is worthy of your (or even my) attention. For the last several years I haven’t bothered sharing my life’s minutiae, as I did… Continue reading relaunching this blogging lark with a whimper in the night

Oversharing about overspending & belt tightening & why Andrea’s question has me writing this to begin with

I’ve been accused of oversharing, but then I always remember my friend who shared a photo of her naughty bits on twitter to make a point. Why do I mention that? Well, I suppose I do say things online that others wouldn’t. And when I do so, it sometimes makes the people I love cringe.… Continue reading Oversharing about overspending & belt tightening & why Andrea’s question has me writing this to begin with

First Susanne became obsessed and then I decided to offer a new blogging course

You have your people. I’m sure you look around your circle of friends and say to yourself, ‘I love what they’re doing…wish I could help them out more.‘ Well, as much as you love your people, and I’m sure you do, my people just keep creating new things and I want to do what I… Continue reading First Susanne became obsessed and then I decided to offer a new blogging course

Tindergarden is the Ode to a Nightingale – choose your own Word of the Year

Word of the year: How about Tindergarden? Or if that doesn’t grab your fancy, what about Hopfen-Smoothie? That’s a euphemism for beer, as Hopfen is the German word for one of beer’s essential ingredients.  No? I’ve got at least one more. Here’s Posttruth for you.  We’re already deep into the holiday season, and soon enough… Continue reading Tindergarden is the Ode to a Nightingale – choose your own Word of the Year

‘I got a hamster’ brought to you by Diamond Cookieoftruth

‘Hello Violet,’ he said. ‘It’s Uncle BK…‘ ‘Really? All the way from Germany?‘ ‘All the way from Germany, yes. I saw you got a hamster. A hamster named Alexander, right? Let me tell you about the history of the domesticated hamster,‘ I started to mansplain to my second oldest niece. ‘Got it covered, Uncle BK.… Continue reading ‘I got a hamster’ brought to you by Diamond Cookieoftruth

Missives from this corner of Old Europe

For quite some time, I’ve intended to change the tagline on this personal blog. I’m not certain how long it’s been, but it might’ve been from back when I started that if you clicked on my site, you’d see: ‘pay no attention to the man behind the curtain’ It was an allusion to the Wizard… Continue reading Missives from this corner of Old Europe
