to bring tight closure to the subject...

Is it just a coincidence that "claustrophobia" and "closetrophobia" are so much alike?

just. plain. wrong.

So late-night TV ads have sunk low. Very low. They're now making money off of this: https://www.911twenty.com/ There are 2,740 reasons why this is oh so shameful.

42 ways to have 42 good days in a row

Have fun playing this.

So it's not surprising that my favorite book is The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy (by Brit Douglas Adams).

I've read it/them a number of times. I say them since that 1st book turned out only to be the start of 5 books in an "increasingly inaccurately misnamed trilogy." A VERY important number in that book is 42. (grab a copy to find out why, and now you can get all 5 books in one hard-bound volume) So just recently, we figured out for the 1st time why I'm drawn to that number:
-Born at 4216 Melbourne Court
-Grew up at 42 Springwood Drive
-4 Fathom Court, on lot 2

Have a never-ending series of 42 fantastic days!

camping again

Sorry, no jokes today (or maybe this IS one and I don't know it). In preparation for this weekend's big event, I went camping last night in the back yard. It went fine considering I hear I've done it a ton before... until at 6:00 AM I used my cell phone to call my parents and say "There's a bear! There's a bear! Turn on all the lights and make noise!" Yeah, that would have been a great plan... if there actually WAS a bear. We think it was like a possum.
"This weekend's big event" is my sail club raises money for Hospice of the Upstate by having a large regatta that folks from all over come to and donate all the entry fees, etc., to Hospice. Good people all around.
