Well folks, it’s been hectic. Not so much hectic in the sense of a world gone mad, but more so that life just seemed to be conspiring against the blog lately. It’s annual report time at work, so what with writing, rewriting, editing and proofreading the same 40 pages over and over; the general tendency [...]

Well this is just plain fantastic. I am very pleased to announce that my blog is the number one hit on Google for the search string “Hooty Pecker.” I could never have dreamed a day like this would come. But overall, it’s really amusing to see what Google searches lead people to my site. One [...]

At some point yesterday (or today, depending on where your standing), the blog crept up over 5000 hits. See Blog Go… Go Blog Go! Not too shabby. Considering that it’s all word of mouth, and that I didn’t really get rolling on this thing until late February, that’s not a bad first six months. So [...]

Well, sorry folks. There’s been a supreme shortage of postings lately. You may be thinking that I’m still recuperating from my birthday week, and maybe you’d be partially right. But in actuality, I’ve had even more Internet trouble, this time more localized than national. Anyway, seems to be working today, so I’ll see if I [...]

Basically, I can’t think of much to write about today. It’s just one of those days. I can’t think of anything interesting that’s happened lately. Usually when that happens, I just write an old story, but nothing is flowing. Maybe I’ll just tell a joke. Sure, why not? This is one of my favourites. It’s [...]

I really hate to harp on things, but I just can’t help it. This whole Internet debacle is really starting to get to me. I’d like to sprout the cliché about how you never know how much you miss something until its gone, but that would be total codswallop in this case. If you’d asked [...]

Well, after finally getting back on top of the blog after my return from the Dark Continent, the fates have conspired against me again. It seems the entire Internet backbone for Pakistan has gone out, but to be fair, we should probably assume that it had a few slipped disks to begin with. Anyway, some [...]

Hey folks… Well, as you can see, I’ve been rocketing around Uganda and have been pretty busy. I’m headed out to Queen Elizabeth Park for a few days tomorrow, so I’ll be “on Safari” and out of Internet contact again. So I’ll update you all in a few days. Thanks for checking in, and keep [...]

The astute among you, or anyone who reads this rag regularly, will have noticed a decrease in blog content of late. My apologies. I’ve been running around headless chicken style for the past week trying to tie up all the loose ends before I head to Uganda to visit my sister for a few weeks. [...]

There’s something about Monday morning that makes it really tough to think of things to write for the Blog. You would think that something might have happened over the weekend to inspire me. You would think that having two days to think about it would be ample time to put something together. But you would [...]
