Pretty sure I’ve heard a few different versions of Gill’s story (often in preachy email forwards), but I have no idea where it came from. When I was a small child my dad told me the story of an impoverished spice trader who worked hard, but didn’t have enough to sometimes feed his family. He …

Laughter Is The Best Medicine
Gill is here to let us know that science has gone ahead and figured out that laughing about something before you go under the knife is probably better than freaking yourself the hell out. Who knew? I mean there’s me who probably could have done better than having one of the last things I saw …
Strange Bodies
Here’s Gill to gross us all out at breakfast time. The sleep thing though, ask Carin how many times her and I have had entire conversations that she thought I was awake for, or about the time I kicked her and told her to get back to work. I’m glad we sorted that out, because …
I Dare You!
Why yes, Gill has sent in about 12 billion posts lately. Why do you ask? Here she is to kind of sick me out, if I’m being honest. To me, anything with the word feet in it is not meant for human consumption unless starvation and desperation have set in. I think I feel the …
Freak Accidents
Here’s Gill to talk about times she’s gotten injured. Her bit about the couch reminds me of the time many years ago when I came home from DJing a party to find that while Carin’s family was visiting, they decided our furniture needed some rearranging. I discovered this when I strolled in the door, arms …
My DNA Adventure
I personally have no interest in these DNA test kits. They strike me as gimmicks designed to part fools from their money, plus I don’t particularly relish the thought of willingly dropping everything I am into the mail and sending it off to a corporation so they can do lord knows what with it. But …
Teaching Impact
Gill returns to talk about the impact a teacher can have, both positive and negative. For many years my mom worked as an educator, and I am actually named for one of the 2nd graders she had all the way back in 1968. From life saving notes and cards to a popular song as a …
Stuff I Love, Part 2
Gill is here to tell you more random things about herself. I wrote about food last time, and now I’m going to write about other things I love. 1 Attending church – I love singing and praising God! 2 Nerding – For those not in the know, nerding is anything trivia, Game Of Thrones, or …
Eat Up!
Gill spent some time with her family recently, during which they did quite a bit of eating, apparently. Nothing wrong with that. If you have been a reader of the website you’ll know that I love eating, cooking, and trying new and fun foods. From a Dublin style pub to a four star restaurant, here …
I’ve Got Some Food For Thought
Gill likes the Olympics. For all their faults, so do I. As for her question about which sport I’d want to be involved in were I good enough at sports to not get laughed out of the country, I think my answer would be one of the sliding ones. They look terrifying, but they’re great …
