OK, so it was actually more of a roadtrip through Roswell than a roadtrip to Roswell, New Mexico, but I am glad we stopped by because I made two startling discoveries: The singer John Denver hails from Roswell, New Mexico. (Gasp! Perhaps his ultralight aircraft was reverse engineered?) New Mexican style Mexican food is quite different than the Tex Mex we get here in the Dallas – Fort Worth Metroplex. I didn’t see any UFOS in the sky, but I spotted shop windows and signs all over town featuring aliens galore: TO SEE MORE PHOTOS and READ THE REST, CLICK…

In keeping with December’s NaBloPoMo zeitgeist theme: While grocery shopping the other day, I kept bumping into one buzzword after another. Take the photo above, for example. Isn’t it funny how just about any product can be a ‘solution’ these days? Also, have you noticed how many coaching businesses there are these days? Nothing against coaching. Seems like a fine idea, and all. I like the idea of having somebody who is on your side, helping you out, coaching you towards success. I just wonder why the explosion of coaches. What changed? As is my tendency, I started daydreaming. “If…
I’m not much of a beer drinker, but this ad made me laugh. They had another one a couple months ago which read, Beer: Because it’s election season again. Hard to argue with that, no matter what your politics are! In my opinion, Belgians make the best beer in the world, specifically Belgian monks. I’m not a big Stella Artois or Hoegaarden fan, but when it comes to Belgian trappist ales, I must say – yum. To my palate, that’s what beer is all about! But enough about beer, what do I really want to talk about? I am not…
Company’s on the way, so I am tossing up a quickie post just to stay in the NaBloPoMo game, y’all! Today’s photo is something that caught my eye in the store and made me think, “Now that is something I definitely do not want to get this holiday season.” I’ll try to do some blog-hopping later on and see what other folks are up to, and answer comments, but right now, a belated Thanksgiving feast is waiting to be prepared…
I keep talking about National Blog Posting Month (NaBloPoMo), but haven’t mentioned that November is also National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo.) I enjoy NaNoWriMo, and have even made the 50,000 word mark a couple of times, but have yet to go back and make anything marketable out of that pile of words. Even so,I am at it again. To me, it’s fun exercise. Y’know, runners like to run, so they have marathons. Writers like to write, so they do NaBlo/NaNo stuff. Are any of you doing both NaBlo and NaNo this year? I found a humorous article describing how to…
Is it just me, or does the little guy on this gumball machine look like Macaulay Culkin? It’s like a movie poster for,”Homie Alone – Up In Yo’ Grill,” or something. Although now, our little boy has grown up. He’s an agoraphobic white boy who never leaves the house and lives out rapper fantasies in his parents’ basement. I never actually saw any of the Home Alone flicks, although I once landed in O’Hare while they were filming a sequel. I remember seeing a bunch of extras at the airport dressed as travelers, all of whom looked way too perky…
