    Once in the plane as we were heading to elevation I was stuck next to a skydiver that insisted on singing.  As the first bunch of jumpers exited the plane, he turned and sang to me, “Noooowww, I’ve hadddd the timeeee of my lifffeeeee…” in full Dirty Dancing, Patrick Swayze style. “Dude…seriously… I do NOT…

  •   It’s been awhile since I have actually sat down and wrote. The book I have been adding to is a complete mess as I began writing it before the walls of my life came crashing in.  I’m sure if I actually sat down and wrote everything out it would probably be a best seller….

  • Ghosts and New Paint…

    The weather has been really warm lately, but yesterday it looked like it might rain. In my backyard I had a box of memory stuff that I had pulled out to see if I could find something the girls had made.  Me being me, forgot it out there and the sun damaged it and the…

Why I Started My Personal Blog

I started Random and Odd back in 2002 or so because it was all the rage and my mom and sister were perpetually online either playing games or finding recipes.
I decided that I wanted to be able to write what I was going through as a parent and keep them updated on what the girls were saying or doing. It started out just a way for me to vent, rant or laugh about life.
It turned into more when other people outside of my mom and sister started reading it and through the years it was just a place for Stuff Portrait Fridays, meeting other people blogging and making those people friends. It was a place to put down a photo I took that I was proud of and then it was a place to talk about the traveling I was doing. Now it’s just a dumping ground of bullshit that is swirling in my head.

I want to get back to writing, taking photos and traveling and doing a complete redo of R & 0 was needed to document.
Enjoy the minimalist look.
