Stroke of Luck or Near Debt Experience – Part 1

Three weeks into my time at home while my family is in New Hampshire for part of the summer I am still holding out hopes of accomplishing great and many things in my unfamily time. But, with one week left before I join them, I’m not sure what I’ve accomplished. And I had a headache. […]

Are You There God? It’s Me, Jason

Do I look like Judy Blume? To those of you who do not know the Judester, many a female growing up in the 1970s and 80s can rattle off the books that they read and re-read and passed along to girlfriends with dogged ears (the books, not the girls – as far as I know). […]

Mad about Moisture

My wife is a New Hampshire girl. New Hampshire in the winter is beautiful. One of the beautiful things about the New Hampshire winters – aside from ski hills a stone’s throw in every direction – is that there is moisture in the air. Moisture in winter air is a delightful thing. When Cynthia and […]

Subscribe to This (Sex)

What is the one thing we all want and we all need? It’s something many think about every day, especially on the Internet. Yes, I knew readers as intelligent as you, would guess. I feel we’re on the same wavelength and by saying what I’m referring to will only cause you to drift from me […]

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of ….. 5. My son Hoyt is my little buddy. Not the kind of buddy like when parents are friends with their children (there’s time enough for that when he’s 18 onward). Right […]

Burning Man and a Flask

I did some of my best work in the “garten” -as I like to call it. That’s kindergarten. But before I could get in there, I went through all the rigorous testing of the “pre-garten” during kindergarten registration. I was at that stage of my life in 1969. This was the time of school psychologists’ […]

An Irishman, Englishman, Glass Of Milk and Pop Culture Walk into a Bar

Generally, I’m not black or white on many issues. I don’t know why this is. Sometimes I think it may have something to do with my heritage. For all practical purposes, I’m like many multi-generational Americans – I’m a mutt. The Spafford family came to this country in 1650 from England. My mom’s family, The […]

Plunger Etiquette

Occasionally, when one is using a bathroom, one will need the assistance of a device that was created to spare innocent people embarrassment, while solving a basic problem. This device is called a plunger. We all know the drill. At least I believe my readers are plunger familiar folks. I have seen the kinds of […]

How to Spell Quantity and Other Cuss Words

Dear readers I’m afraid this selection may not be for the faint of heart. I may have to use a word or two that none of us use and I will have to allude to some words that some of us use. I promise to move this conversation in an educational and enlightening direction and […]
