Greetings

Silly ... big dude, blog namesake, as cool a kitty as you'll ever meet

Hello. Thanks for reading.

Last week, an old high school friend of mine welcomed his fifth grandchild to what he called "life's rich pageant," which I thought was a pretty clever turn of phrase. If you think about it, you experience so much in even the most humdrum day that you probably don't even notice most of it.

But for whatever reason, some of that stuff sticks with you. Sometimes it's obvious ... the birth of my friend's grandchild, for example. Sometimes less so ... like the peaceful quiet of an early morning drive I made after a high school reunion, even though it was a route I had covered dozens of times before.

And sometimes stuff sticks with you because it strikes you funny.

If there is a theme to this blog, I guess that's going to be it ... stuff that sticks with me ... especially if it strikes me funny.

And jokes about awards shows. I love to make jokes about awards shows. There will be a lot of those, and I hope to recruit some friends to join me.

Life's pageant is rich with the good, the bad and sometimes the goofy.

I hope to bring some of it to you.
