About Me

I like to laugh. If you don't, please hit whatever button escorts you from the premises immediately. I write a humor column for the Naples Daily News called, get this, "Life is Heald." It's about life as we all see it, just from a pair of rose-colored glasses that need cleaning. I tell stories, I rant about things that drive us all to the point of filling out a gun permit, I make fun of you and I make fun of me. If I can't use it in the column for whatever reason, it ends up here. Sometimes, you'll need to read the column to know what I'm writing about, but often the posts are just random, drive-by thoughts that entered my brain and exited my fingers. Just a flesh wound, so don't go dialing 911 about anything you read here. This is not one of those blogs that will tell you how many prunes it took to jump start my last bowel movement or what grade the kid got on his math test. The good stuff, I save for the Christmas newsletter.

OK, we're smart folks, we can figure this out.  We'll put a frozen turkey in a cooler full of ice, drive for two days, the ice slowly melts, the turkey thaws, preheat oven, all set to go.  What?  A winter storm came through last night?  It's 32 degrees outside?  Isn't that freezing? The turkey says yes, that is indeed freezing, which is why he's now the sole ice cube needed for the world's largest turkey martini.  (I also have a picture of the turkey taking a hot shower, but I thought that could be considered poultry porn and after seeing what those birds did in Alfred Hitchcock's movie, I decided it wasn't worth the risk.)

I don't want to say I'm an underachiever, but I'm starting to get a feeling of accomplishment when the dog poops twice when I walk her around the block.
