It's nice to see someone feeling "On top of the World" and even better when we ourselves feel on top of the world. After a few kind of sad comic strips I'm glad that Timmothy wrote one coming from the opposite of down. I've never know Timmothy to be depressed so I should not have even considered ...

I don't envy Titus even though I am getting so far behind on everything due to my computer crashing. Still I'd rather have a full plate then have nothing to do today.For those who have caught the fact that I spent 4 days trying to get a (out of 20) computer to replace one that failed in my office...

I've probably done sillier things when bored than have a feather blowing contest with a friend or by myself. Maybe not with a friend, at least not out of boredom... maybe it was something we smoked 😉.So here is a tip if you are bored: go to YouTube and type in "things to do when you are bored". ...

It wasn't lightning, not even static electricity but I got zapped (figuratively) by my hard drive biting the dust on Thursday. Thus I spent time Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and even today trying to get another hard drive to work in the computer.In the interest of full disclosure I have to say I did...
