Just Humor and Sarcasm

In the last week I’ve had three emails from Facebook friends all stranded in London after being mugged. I even got hacked last year.  The story is always the same.  They’ve got no cash, the police and the embassy can’t help and there’s always a hotel manager refusing to let them go until their bill is [...]

This morning the United States Department of Attitude released their annual report on professional photography. It’s incredible to see that things have completely turned around with the economy as well. Photography was listed as the most lucrative career field in the U.S.  National advertising and promotional statistics showed photography as the only career choice where [...]

Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house
I’d unplugged my computer and even the mouse.
My blogs for year-end were all ready to go
There was no reason to work, the Internet was slow.
 
For reasons unknown as if it made sense
my email needed cleaning and I got “off the fence.”
For over a year I’d saved [...]

So, I’m flying back from NYC yesterday and I’m all the way back in row 31 with the goats and chickens! The good news is that I got to board early. The bad news – it took two weeks to get off the plane and I thought I’d miss the holidays.  Up about ten rows [...]

Okay, remember it’s Saturday morning, so don’t expect any heavy duty concepts! 
The other day I started out a blog talking about “a broken record”.  Well, lately I seem to be running into issues that people around me just can’t relate to.   It’s sort of like the time I used the expression, “Let’s not let the cat [...]

I got the funniest email from Gretchen McFarland one of our Summer School attendees.
Sooo… Please convey to your best buddy, Scott Bourne, that exactly 30 seconds after I posted his “Jump. and the net will appear” quote on my Facebook status ( to encourage a friend in need) – I fell and broke 5 bones [...]

I flew down to Sarasota yesterday, working hard to squeeze in a fast visit with my folks before Summer School.  On the flight down I was repeatedly reminded why I hate flying in the summer – it’s tourist season!  It’s that one time of year when everyone in the world becomes an expert in seat [...]

I get some very funny emails from friends on a pretty regular basis, this one from yesterday really hit home.  The image is from 1956.   Give up on what it is?
It’s a hard disk drive with 5MB of storage and it weighed over a ton!  Now think about the 32 GB of storage in your iPhone!  Kind [...]

Technology has changed everything in our lives and verbs like blog, tweet, follow and friend go in and out of our vocabulary all day long, but there are some new ones I think we need to add.
I don’t know what to call it, but we need a verb that means to check your spam filter before [...]

A whole lot of years ago, my freshman year in college, my roommate and I set out to celebrate our first St. Patrick’s Day.  We started drinking green beer at 7:00 am at The Purity in Oxford, Ohio.  Young and really stupid, we set out on our first drunk, a rite of passage.   It was [...]
