Close Encounters of the Desert Kind
This is my “creepy” story for Shelly over at this Eclectic Life. She was very kind this past month to ask me to judge her “scared silly” writing contest. This is sort of my “entry” after the fact since I already picked a winner. You can find the list of all the [...]Tiger of Bipolar by the Tail
Before discussing the abstract art that we call bipolar, we have to look at diagnosis and what is required. It seems like more and more news stories about rapists, murderers, garden variety psychopaths, and the like contain a tag at the end of something like:
“This story is truly a tragedy, such and such was being [...]My First Culinary Guest Blog: Just Published
The blogger from In Good Taste asked me to write a guest blog for his clean and impressive Wordpress.com blog. It was no stretch with Sarah’s help. She does a lot of recipe/nutrition type stuff on her blog. Anyway, together we made a pretty good presentation (if I do say so myself). [...]
The Memory of Running
Walking through CVS today I saw this book on display and had to buy it. The title absolutely flowed through me. I have no clue what the plot is about but ever since I picked it up I have wanted to post a memory of my running here on my blog: I have [...]
Spring School Ends, Bring on the Puddings
When Sarah and I went to the movies this week we were struck by how many cars were in the parking lot. “Ahhh it’s Spring Break.” I said to her. Kids are out in full force this week. Although I was the teacher of some of them, I wasn’t. I chose [...]

My Movie Review of “Vantage Point” Published at BlogCritics
Sarah and I went to the movies on a matinée date yesterday after Spring School let out. She’d been filling out birthday invitations in her head for our son and I figured we could both use the break and get out of the house. We saw a great new movie called Vantage Point. [...]
“PostCards” is Entrecard Favorites: Blog of the Day
An Entrecard, “Blog of the Day” award was granted to Postcards from the Funny Farm today. (Woo Hoo) This is a real honor for me since anyone who uses Entrecard knows there are so many blogs on there. This award also shows that any blogger, theoretically, could do a “blog of the day” [...]
Soda Epiphany
My wife has been telling me for the longest time I need to drink less soda. She’s right, but I didn’t come to see that until I did a little research on the health effects of soda on the body. Remember this lovely ad I posted a few months ago as a joke? [...]
Happy St. Patrick’s Day
Just wanted to drop a quick note to wish everybody a happy St. Patrick’s Day. It stands for freedom, creativity, fun, family, food, and yes … a little dark beer if you go for that sort of thing. I hope you all remember these things today and partcipate in them. I’ll be [...]
