OTHER COOL THINGS is the blog page where I go off topic. In other words, this is a page where I ramble about a wide variety of subjects which have nothing to do with the Cross House restoration or Emporia.
OTHER COOL THINGS is where I might suggest a great new restaurant. Or a movie I enjoyed, or book. Or a favored blog.
OTHER COOL THINGS may — fasten your seat belt — open discussions about dangerous subjects such politics or religion.
OTHER COOL THINGS will, in short, be a page where I ramble about anything which captures my special attention. Like, perhaps, a nice moment I had with my favorite cat Gilda.
I love comments, so please do not hesitate to toss your two cents in, even if you disagree with me.
My blog posts are below. Enjoy!

I was napping. And was woken around 6PM by thunder. I thought: Thank goodness! Rain maybe! Getting up, I looked out the window. Blue sky. Huh? The thunder continued and continued.

Last year, I wrote about Bella here. She had needed a new home and, thus, came into my life. It was instantly evident that Bella had been a lap cat. She was obsessively on my desk as I worked, wanting to be against me, but stepping on the keyboard (EEK!), knocking over my cocktail (FUCK!), and,…
