I'm sure many of you out there have seen the Disney animated classic Beauty and the Beast. As cartoons go, it's one of my favorites. But I've decided that I have a slight problem with a couple scenes in the movie. This happens for me with a lot of movies I've seen multiple times. There's … Continue reading Feats of Strength

Indulgence
When I think of the word "indulgence" I tend to think of people gorging themselves on sweets. And then I like to think of myself as immune to such a thing, simply because I don't much care for sweets. Don't get me wrong, I do enjoy the occasional slice of cake, but I really don't … Continue reading Indulgence
Toys
When one thinks of toys, usually a child's plaything comes to mind. That could mean dolls or action figures or tea sets or LEGO sets or any number of things. As a kid, I had plenty of toys to play with. G.I. Joe action figures that I seriously mistreated. I would have the forces of … Continue reading Toys
Electronic Harmony
Back in my North Carolina days, my friend Nicole told me that she wanted to perform a little experiment. She wanted to sign me up on e-Harmony just to see what would happen. At the time, she had predicted that I would be getting married on a certain date. That prediction was based on little … Continue reading Electronic Harmony

I have Netflix, too. So if I didn't want to watch game shows, I really don't have to. But I like … Continue reading What You Get with Game Shows
Seriously?
Okay... Is this a real product? Or is this just an SNL sketch waiting to happen? I feel like I'm being punked right now...
Backing Up
I've been the proud owner of three cars in my life. Before those, I drove two of my parents cars. All of those cars have been fairly small vehicles. I like small cars. I like the fact that, in a small car, you can turn on a dime. I've never owned a car that I … Continue reading Backing Up
Recliner
I used to have a recliner that I never sat in. Okay, never is a big word, and somewhat inappropriate. There were times when I actually did sit in it, but those were rare times. It was a very comfortable chair. It was overstuffed and even rocked. I'm fairly certain I could have fallen asleep … Continue reading Recliner
Scary
I wouldn't necessarily say that I scare easily. Or maybe I do and enjoy that feeling from time to time. The feeling you get after a really good jump scene in a horror movie. Or the feeling you get on a roller coaster. It's kind of a good scared. The scary that really disturbs me, … Continue reading Scary
