What is it about this time of year that brings out the snakes!? I live in a wooded area, with nearby lakes and wetland. Nearly on a daily basis, I see a snake slithering across our road, or in my yard. Usually it’s when I’m walking through the yard unsuspectingly……and BAM, there’s a snake at my feet. Not gonna lie….it gives me the creeps. Oddly enough, it’s the little garter snakes that give me the willies, even more than big snakes. Not sure why. Especially odd considering that I used to play with those garter snakes when I was a kid. A college friend of mine had a 12 foot Burmese python. That thing never bothered me in any way. But that slithering little devil, garter snake……..ugh!

That was a huge accomplishment. 12 years ago, I got healthy and lost over 50 lbs. Another huge accomplishment for me. I know this is gross, and […]

Ode to Elwood
You may not recognize the name Elwood Edwards, but I can guarantee that you know his voice. In 1989, Elwood recorded the voice prompts for America Online. AOL was the way a majority of us (now old people) connected to the Internet back in the day. After hearing the sound of our 14.4, 28.8, or […]
