GOWAN'S GIRL

Well, Gowan has struck gold again! Yes, Lawrence Gowan, Canadian hitmaker from the 80's and 90's, of A Criminal Mind, and You're A Strange Animal fame, has made a huge musical resurgence, at least with one member of my family when he sang, via video, Happy Birthday to my eldest daughter Maeve.

AND A KITCHEN SINK IN A SPRUCE TREE

“And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music.” -Friedrich Nietszche

To the untrained eye, it may look like I picked up a bunch of random objects just laying around my yard, and hurled them haphazardly at the imposing Blue Spruce situated beside my house.

ROLLING DOWN MEMORY LANE

Looking back on my previous blog posts, I realize I write a lot of stuff about stuff. 

Somehow, I feel an obligation to take stuff from where I find it, whether it be a thrift store, yard sale, or auction, and get it to somebody who really wants it. Sometimes that person is me. Okay, it's always me.

As the youngest of four children, I will always remember those special moments growing up when, seemingly out of nowhere,

BEANIE BABY ECONOMICS

I am quite proud to say I didn't get sucked into the whole Beanie Baby frenzy when they first arrived on the scene 20 years ago.

WELCOME TO THE INAUGURAL POST OF SIT AND DELIVER

Essentially this blog will deliver stand-up material from a sitting position.  You may ask, "Why sit and deliver?"  I would answer,  "Why stand and deliver when the option to sit and deliver is so readily available?"

Frankly, I'm surprised this phenomenon hasn't swept the entire industry. The sit-down humorist enjoys many advantages over the stand-up. One of the most obvious is the comfort factor.  Having led a full and rich life I have had many opportunities to both sit and stand.
