“The curious incident of the dog in the night-time.”

Leave a comment

Colonel Ross still wore an expression which showed the poor opinion which he had formed of my companion’s ability, but I saw by the Inspector’s face that his attention had been keenly aroused.

“You consider that to be important?” he asked.

“Exceedingly so.”

“Is there any point to which you would wish to draw my attention?”

“To the curious incident of the dog in the night-time.”

“The dog did nothing in the night-time.”

“That was the curious incident,” remarked Sherlock Holmes.

— from Arthur Conan Doyle’s “The Adventure of Silver Blaze”

So tell me these aren’t the coolest themed birthday gifts ever.  An amazing lady gave me the complete Sherlock Holmes library in beautifully bound collector’s volumes, a can of Victorian London Fog tea, and a magnifying glass for investigations of my own (because I’m on to you people).

What you see up top is a wool herringbone flat cap of the kind Watson would wear.  (My benefactor here wisely deduced that Holmes’ deerstalker cap would look funny on me.)

Another pal of mine (and an MWC alum) made me homemade pizza yesterday too — complete with herbs from his own garden.  (No, not the extralegal kind — we’re talking basil and stuff.)  I truly am surrounded by the best people in life.

Can I make bad puns out of the names of Czechoslovakian cities?

Pragueably.

Hey — I know it’s a Louny bin here, but it’s where you have the Most fun. Czech back often, and I promise Jihlava good time!

And no dirty jokes — that would be unSemily.

“Welcome to Domino’s, are you picking up an order?”

“Yes. The name’s ‘Nolan.'”

“‘Ballin’?’ Your name’s ‘Ballin’,’ Sir?”

Yeah, that’s right, kiddo. My name’s “BALLIN’.”

The Blog

A great old friend of mine and a terrific writer just started a blog. Check it out!

August 23, 2021:

Today I launch my WordPress. It is going to be a collection of mostly memoirs and maybe some short story fiction and poetry if I can get myself into it.

I am currently in the process of kicking dope, again. What you will read here will mostly be a real time journal of this process along with whatever insight I can provide along the way from this experience and past experiences. So with that said, there’s going to be some dark content on this site. I’m starting this blog in hopes that it’ll serve as a sort of “therapy” for me, as well as provide a source of insight, understanding and/or empathy for people who are dealing with others who are in addiction, have lost someone to drugs, or are going through it themselves. Trigger warnings will be used as necessary. Enjoy the ride.

Handheld hummingbird feeders — gag gift or not?

Leave a comment

I received handheld hummingbird feeders as a gift.  I’m trying to figure out if this is a joke or not before I stand in the middle of the park holding these things.

Update: my friend just told me that I could affix them to a hat.  She insists that this is not a joke.
