In the elevator lobby at the apartment building where I am staying sits this: It’s called, “A Setting For One”. Placed there by a veteran, the table setting is meant to honor and remember those who served and were unaccounted for in defense of our country. POW’s, missing in action, and those who gave the [...]
By the time you read this I will be winging my way north to the land of cold, darkness, and despair. I’m taking the rest of the week off to go visit family and won’t be back until after Memorial Day. So you will have to suffer without my charming wit and devastating good looks [...]
There hasn’t been much new news regarding how Paul Labombard, (That is Pritam Singh’s real name.

You may find this shocking, shocking I tell you, but the North Roosevelt Renovation Project is….. [...]
I stopped by that marina again yesterday to see if indeed they had any open slips available come July. No. But I will keep checking back. Sent an email off to the city marina to see what they might have. No answer. Not surprised there. I will probably have to go and beg on bended [...]
About a year ago, a commenter here on the Fritter kept talking about wanting to follow my path to ruin and destruction by going minimalist in her life. She had a plan, get rid of her debt, start reducing the clutter, and study up to get ready to move onto a boat. As I tend [...]
