Life in Kana-text (er… CONtext)
Last weekend we drove one last time to our boat, to finish cleaning it out. My mom and I had gotten the bulk of things moved out, a couple months back. She and I were there for a "girls' weekend" when I arrived at the realization that we should probably sell it---an epiphany that had … Continue reading In Which We Don’t Sail Into the Sunset
I feel like our RV park's housekeeper deserves hazard pay. I continue to be astonished by some people, and the things that they do. Or in this case, what someone did NOT do. Someone had an unfortunate case of explosive diarrhea yesterday... In the shower. And got out of the shower, still "leaking," to reach … Continue reading What is WRONG With People?

He was about a year and a half, and our grocery store had a giant inflatable cow hanging above the dairy aisle. Sitting … Continue reading Cow Physiology 101
I was in high school when I had an odd encounter at my dentist's office.

There was an older lady there … Continue reading Firefighter Bob
