Authentic Nautical Accessories, and Custom Furnishings
Last week I was driving on the interstate and watched as a vehicle ahead of me pulled off the road to assist a car in distress. The distressed car had a flat tire, and from the looks of the scene, they were having no luck changing it. It's the small things like that that maintain …
Do you know what a Creep Factor is? It's the degree of creepiness that a statement or suggestion has. Like a WordPress Daily Writing Prompt that asks what you'd hope a single sentence sent to you from your future self would be. Damn, don't do that to someone with an overactive imagination! The chances of …
Whenever stopped by Law Enforcement, I'd dutifully demonstrate my legitimate status as a tramper, camper, and hiker. "Why, no, Officer Opie, I was not hitchhiking! I was merely sitting by the side of the road resting - If by chance a passerby offered me a ride, I probably wouldn't refuse it, though." Unlike many today, …
Playing "hooky" from high school in New York City started with frequent stops at some of the most disepitomable pool halls and billiards parlors in Washington Heights and surrounding areas. I still can't play those games worth a damn. It was my best friend, Bart, who introduced me to Greenwich Village, where I then began …

Yes sireeeeee! It's a one-liner Wednesday, a Fandango's One Word Challenge, and a daily prompt wrapped in one: "Great things are done by a series of small things brought together." - Vincent van Gogh. OK, now that I have your attention, I'll admit that it's not the only quote that guides me. But it is …
Got skills? I mean those that might transform a hobby into a business, or a sideline into a job? Pardon me, I may have harped on this before, but making a living in a changing job market may rely, not just on your current resume, but on the odd skill that you can pull out …
Back in the day, there was a fictional character that I closely related to -Gnossos Papadapolous, the main character in Richard Farina's book Been Down So Long It Looks Like Up To Me.
