Every morning.  There they are. Four on the table. Two seated in the comfy padded chairs.  Coffee Klatch at the House-of-Chaos.

Wake Up @ the HOC

Last night Mia and I set up one of the tents in the back yard and ended up sleeping there to test it out before a girlfriend and I take it to New York this weekend.

But if you sleep in a tent in the backyard at the House-of-Chaos, THIS is what will be greeting you first thing in the morning.

And when I say “morning”, I am meaning about 5:15 A.M.

I understand it’s a long road to peace, he said, but I’m still hoping to get a ride part way because I’m so out of shape from the 90′s.

Hope & Change

// April 7th, 2010 // No Comments » // china, curmudgeon, editorial, funny-bone, life the universe and everything, personal, sad

When President Barack Obama campaigned for the presidency of The United States of America he ran on a platform for Hope and Change.  Two most wonderful principles.  And I’ve been a staunch supporter of the president knowing that he 1) had his plate full and 2) came into a house that was pretty wrecked by the previous occupant.

I’ve had some disappointments during this first year.  But I’m a little Pollyanna and I believe!!! I believe in HOPE & CHANGE.

Now….after reading reports that the President has authorized a “kill on sight” order of an American citizen I’m beginning to rethink my ardent support.

Don’t fret, boys and grrrlz.  I still am a firm believer in HOPE & CHANGE.  Just a little different kind.

Meet HOPE & CHANGE Chinagrrrl style….

Hope & Change, chinagrrrl style

I saw this in an RSS feed and thought that it might be fun to get a couple of reduced coconuts from the market and drill some holes in the bottom and then some eye-bolts in the top and hang them from a tree or a feeder…I bet this would happen.

Lots of Snow

// February 16th, 2010 // No Comments » // Great Grey Beast of February, Ohio, china, editorial, funny-bone

In honor of the “Lots of Snow” we have been getting…I present, for your viewing pleasure, Dark Roasted Blends post on ‘Lots of Snow‘.  Well work the click.  Enjoy.

If you’ve been snowed under for some time, these pictures will help you feel better

“Have you entered the storehouses of the snow?…” (Job, 38:22) Some translations put it as “the treasures of the snow”. Well, it seems some locations get entirely too much of this good thing:

Snowed under in the most epic way (somewhere in Switzerland):

…may you stay warm and may your snow shoveler not break.

The problem with knowing everything’s going exactly as it needs to is that when you’re not having that much fun it doesn’t even do any good to complain.

Whales
I remember when the whales had wings, she said. Whatever happened? I said. It got to be too noisy with all the airplanes & other stuff, so they flew into the ocean & never came back. Some days, she added, I think about going too.
