Well, the ol' fella finally sold. I paid $1,800 for it seven years ago, drove it about 70,000 miles, and wound up getting $1,700 for it. In addition to the $1,300 I got from the insurance company when the dude ran into the back of me on the interstate a...Various ObsessionsTerry Oglesby2013-11-13T21:45:00-05:00In Re November 6, 2012

…in that it seems as though nowadays we don’t “see” each other (virtually, at least) except at funerals. One of my long-time blogfriends, Francesca Watson, sent along some sad information on a fellow blogwriter who passed away suddenly. Do you remember Patricia Tryon? She had a blog called “Out of...BloggingTerry Oglesby2012-04-17T12:44:47-05:00Well, 1) It's science, and 2)...

...It validates one of my preconceived notions: THEREFORE, it must be true. So, what prompts this sudden return from hibernation? Finding out there is an actual name for the theory I have long espoused on this blog, namely, "It's not the stupid people who're the problem, it's the people who...ScienceTerry Oglesby2012-03-19T20:36:33-05:00A virtual friendship, but a real loss.

I checked my email before I left for work this morning, and was greatly saddened to receive the following: Terry and Jim [Jim Smith, who writes Unfreezing],I just wanted to let you know that Steve passed away tonight.

…and wondered what might be going on around here. I mean, it’s been a longish time since I investigated the old blogstead, and you never know when rabid coatimundis might move in and take over. THEN, out of the blue, Larry “Kudzu Acres” Anderson sent me a note saying I...News of the MundaneTerry Oglesby2011-12-12T20:22:38-05:00Just like it was yesterday...

A very long yesterday, but yesterday nonetheless. In any event, I decided that if I must take a break from not blogging, what better day to mark the occasion than my (and my wife's) 20th wedding anniversary! The secret to our success?

Nothing else can explain the inexplicable discovery I just discovered that nearly the entire month of October has disappeared. Why, just the other day it was Friday the First, and then I woke up today and found out it's already the St. Bean's Feast Day!

I realize I'm not the most non-descript person around--the combination of a boulder-like head, pile of Shoney's Big Boy hair on top, and being on the slightly husky side (in the mushy tub-o'-lard sense) all mean that I could pretty easily be picked out in a crowd.
