It is the culinary delights that draw me to our local fair each year. Gyros. Sausage sandwiches. Funnel cakes. Cheese curds. Elephant ears. All working together, churning my digestive tract worse than a ride on the Zipper. Everyone has their own, go-to, chow-down fav. Mine just happens to be….the unassuming, corn dog. The …
Nuts. People are crazy about nuts. And as well they should be! Nuts are packed with all the good stuff a body craves. Nuts are convenient, plentiful and relatively inexpensive. Way better for you than a chip…plus, now nuts come pretty much flavored just the same. So it’s a win-win. Personally, I love …
It has been nearly a month since I last posted anything on this raggy blog–and I have no excuses for my absense. No vacation. No illness. No dilemma. Just a lack of ideas, plain & simple. Maybe it’s the pressure I put on myself combing for the next ‘killer’ concept. BOOM!–an idea so good …
Yes, tis the season! We are smack dab in the middle of cash grab season. That time of year when you hear from family & friends you never knew you had. Graduations. Weddings. Showers. Anywhere cake is being served–you are invited and expected to bring a gift (Cash mostly). We get grad …
Books have been an escape my entire life. A way to dream. To plan. To learn new things. As a kid I spent hours in the library, exploring endless topics including my favorite animals, sports heroes, even careers. Today I am much the same–I could get lost in a library. So many subjects. Books of …
Artificial intelligence, A.I., is here. It is all around us, spreading faster than a world-wide virus in the 2020s. Machines, especially computer systems, are being programmed to simulate human intelligence processes…to mimic our speech, our thoughts, our writing, even our emotions. Innovative? Yes. Daunting? You bet. Snacks? No thanks, I just ate. With an …
A logo is the life blood of an entity. An instant identifier to the audience of who and what. It must set you apart from the rest. And become as recognizable as letters on an eye chart. Correct me if I am wrong but who doesn’t know the Nike swoosh or McDonald’s golden arches? …
Shoes are cool. Shoes are fashionable. But the cool, fashionable ones…are damn expensive. Which is why I’ve never had many shoes. Although I love’em, I’m too cheap to buy’em. That and my belief in you can only wear one pair at a time–so why own so many? Imelda Marcos, former first lady of the Philipines, …
Since its humble beginning WAY back in 2009, this silly blog has shared my thoughts, fears, hopes, dreams & humor (the last one often debated). But enough about ME! Time to learn about YOU! Thus, presenting the “My Odd Sock Reader Profile.” This short survey will chart your likes, dislikes & preferences which will …
The written word itself may or may not be interesting. But how it sounds when spoken–can be downright engaging! Some words are short. Abrupt. Smacking you upside the head with purpose. While longer words can have an ebb & flow. A cadence which carries you along with a venacular rhythm. I love …
