They Came to Say Hi

Posted on January 12, 2025 by pauldelancey

The natives and I went to San Diego’s Safari Park on Thursday. We took the tram ride that goes through the middle of the park. While we were riding, Jerry and Gerri Giraffe came up to see us. We spent our time in pleasant conversation. But all too soon, the tram started up again. I bid them adieu. They promised to follow my doings on my blog. We exchanged Facebook(tm) addresses and with that our tram took off. What a pleasant pair of giraffes!

My New Year’s Resolutions – 2025

Posted on January 1, 2025 by pauldelancey

Last year sucked in many ways. Unfortunately, it’s unreasonable to expect eight billion people, viruses, and the forces of nature to better themselves in 2025.

Sigh.

So it’s up to me to improve our world.

I hereby resolve to

1) Not eat mushrooms
2) Not eat lutefisk
3) Not wear pajamas all day long unless quite ill.

Many of you, no doubt, notice that I make these same resolutions and that I keep them, every single one of them. Thank you.

Paul’s Awesome English Dictionary: Today’s Word – Frimp

Posted on June 9, 2024 by pauldelancey

How many times has this happened to you? Either your GPS has broken down or you just didn’t bother with directions. The Sun went down two hours ago. You don’t know which way to go?  You get out of the care to answer the call of nature, when suddenly you see an imp not five feet away. How the heck did it get so close? You notice that is imp is carrying an axe. Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, you are going to die! You’re gonna die. Then the most amazing thing occurs. The imp carefully lays down its axe. He smiles at you. His name is Ian, Ian the Imp. He asks you to play charades. Ian does not get many opportunities to play charades. You play the game with him. Until dawn. You become friends.

If only there were a word to describe this new friend. And now we have.

TODAY’S AWESOME WORD

FRIMP

Things That Make Me Happy – Wheat Fields

Posted on November 13, 2021 by pauldelancey

Usually I prefer anything God or nature makes over anything people manufacture. Sometimes the two forces combine to produce something quite pleasing to look at. Such is the case of a wheat field. A wheat field is not as spectacular as Mt. Everest or Niagara Falls, but it has an mesmerizing simplicity that is found hardly anywhere else. And when the wind ripples through the wheat, everything becomes much calmer in the soul.
