This Parrot Is No More! (But I Digress)

I was thinking today about Monty Python’s Dead Parrot sketch. You know the one — the one where John Cleese, as the furious customer, tries to return a clearly deceased

A Big Ol' Laugh

Time to write a positive post for a change. Sometimes it's good to refocus away from the negatives. I like laughing. I like stand-up comedy. I like intelligent humor.

A Past Worth Having

I just came across a great quote from Terry Pratchett on YouTube: “There have been times, lately, when I dearly wished that I could change the past. Well, I can’t,

A Reflection on Male Role Models

I suppose the beginning is the natural place to start. For me the words "father" and "dad" are not synonymous. My father was a seventeen year-old
