What is it about the movie Ratatouille that makes people ravenous? Every time I pop it in the kids come a runnin’, wanting me to make them something to eat. My son is sitting here practically drooling, asking me why the name Gusteau sounds so good. I have to admit, the movie makes me hungry […]

That Takes the Cake and the Ice Cream
Today has officially gone to hell in a handbasktet. I didn’t get anything I had set out to do done. How come the best laid plans tend to go awry and in such a spectacular fashion? And what is it about teenagers that make a parent feel like their head is going to explode? My […]
The Bow
I’ve been looking at pictures of New York and I can’t help but be amazed at the power of Mother Nature. It looks like one big ocean, probably like what it was in the very beginning before man. Interesting thought. NYC and the whole east coast, washed away within hours. Say what you will about […]
You’re Jamming My Frequencies
I just finished watching Poltergeist, a film I couldn’t seem to get enough of as a child. That should have been a clue to my parents that I was a little different from the other kids but that’s a whole other issue. Anyways, I had to practically beg my son to watch it with me. […]
Robert the Doll
With Halloween only a few days away, I am inclined to write about something creepy. This really strange story begins in Key West, Florida in 1900. Robert “Gene” Ottowas born in October of that year to wealthy parents. Since couple were well-to-do, they employed a number of Caribbean servants who they mistreated. When Robert was […]
On Many Different Notes
As I write this, it’s 2:30 in the am. When I go to bed early, say 8:30, my eyes just fly open at 2 or 3 in the morning. Somehow I’m either just going to sleep or just waking up at this ungodly hour. The first thing I did when I got up was to […]
Royal Blood
With it being so close to Halloween and no costume party to go to, I’m going to go out on a limb here and talk out something that will totally make me look like the biggest crackpot out there and make me ineligible to run for any sort of office. Luckily I have no desire […]
A Loss For Words
I am at a total loss for words today. It’s 3:30 in the am and I have no idea what to write about. Sometimes I just draw a blank and I have no clue what people want to read about. I would really appreciate some input now and again from people who take the time […]
A Few Good Points
Summer is officially over in Germany. As I write this, I am wondering where on earth it went. It seems like it was just here a minute ago but it blew away and now it’s snowing. It’s hardly fair, a month or two of summer and 6 or 7 months of winter. I’m watching it […]
Strange Things are Afoot
I see that people really enjoyed my creepy tales so I’m going to do some more of the same. People seem to respond to my ghost stories and stories with an adult rated theme. Give the people what they want, I say. Since I’m feeling ghoulish rather than steamy I will go in that direction. […]
