THROWBACK THURSDAY

March 2, 2008

I'm back!

Due to a vast number of (well, okay, a few) requests, I am bringing back Oddball Observations for another run at blogging. This will be the third time and I can only hope it's a charm. The next time I get bored with blogging, I will try my best not to delete my blog. I'll just put up a notice saying I'm "On Hold" until the juices start flowing again.

I don't have much to say today so this will just be an announcement of my return.

Maybe tomorrow I'll be more "talkative."

In the meantime, thanks to all of my former readers who urged me to bring it back.

********************************************************************************************

C'mon you guys, the above was written nearly nine years ago, just as I was beginning this blog once again.

Today the temperature has climbed to the mid 70's and it's a fabulous day for lazing behind a fishing line in the sun at Fain Park.

DRILLED

WHICH IS IT?

Leftover pizza?

Or the Atlanta Falcons after their second half 31-point beat-down yesterday.

SUPER SUNDAY

Okay, just a bit, then it's back to the television.

And, of course, there is the kitty.

BREAD

Cranberry-Wheat Bread

ala Bruce/Catalyst

(and the bread machine)

I tried this recipe for a light wheat bread yesterday which includes honey and ground mace.

The result was a highly crowned loaf (oops, we've eaten the crown already) with an extremely light texture and a hint of sweetness.

I used dried Craisins in place of cranberries.

It's delicious, if I do say so myself.

FRIDAY FUNNIES

This is the one day of the week I could NEVER give up posting.

Because it doesn't require any thought or effort on my part.

Just a sense of humor.

So let's be at it.

All right, Gentle Readers, now you know.

Have yourselves a merry little weekend, keep those funnies coming and remember . . . always keep laughing!

Here, kitty-kitty . . .

(Awwwwwww)

CHANGES

"Change is the only constant in life."

This quote, or a variant of it, has been attributed to nearly every philosopher, songwriter and backyard savant in the world.

But it may have originated with Heraclitus, a Greek philosopher who lived around 500 B.C.

For the mathematically challenged, that's nearly 2,500 years ago.

All of which is to state that the less I'm blogging these days, the more I'm adding to my "Others' Observations" list over there in the right margin.

As I continue to read, I'm finding some great writers out there in cyberworld or blogspace or whatever you want to call it.

As I find them, I'm adding links to them on my blog page.

So pay attention, Gentle Readers, and sample them for yourselves.

Good stuff.
