I’ve been blogging nearly 19 years, having started in November 2006.
If you look at my Blogger Profile, it says “On Blogger since March 2010” but I started a few years earlier on another platform. In 2010 I moved to Blogger and brought my old posts with me.
This post marks my 700th, and truth be told I have been less than proud of several of them. But the other night I was looking at a few “oldies but goodies” I’d almost forgotten about, and thought I’d come up with a list of 15 of my favorites.
I’m not saying these posts are my best ones, but they are the ones I had the most fun writing or sharing.
If you’re curious to check any of them out, all you have to do is click on the image.
1. Back in my working days, women in the office were getting a little crazy so a club for dudes only was started. Who was the first to join? A woman.
2. A 1900’s high school sat up the road from my sister’s house—before it was demolished, a haunting we will go…
3. My dad and his brothers were country rock musicians and had a successful band. Here is some of their music.
4. Once upon a time… I was Batman.
5. What do you do when you find a headstone with your name on it? You look for more headstones.
6. What if Christopher Columbus had been prevented from “discovering” America? A great sci-fi novel thinks it knows.
7. In Pittsburgh in the 1960s, letters to Santa were delivered to the North Pole via a moon rocket. (THIS IS MY SECOND MOST-VIEWED POST)
8. What happens when a young woman walks thru the lobby of my apartment building in her underwear? I have 33 opinions on the matter.
9. Who was the girl who played an ugly duckling on the Brady Bunch? One weekend, I was determined to find out. (THIS IS MY MOST VIEWED POST)
10. A long time ago, my brother Duke tried to hypnotize me. (THIS ONE IS MY PERSONAL FAVORITE.)
11. It’s one thing when a Star Trek character is changed into a woman, but when it’s a Star Trek friend…
12. The trial of a bully who tried to take down a nerd and lost—TWICE. 
13. I’m not afraid to admit it, I’ve had a man crush or two in my lifetime. Here’s those men I crushed on.
14. In 1973, a plane flew over our farmhouse and took this picture. 50 years later on a historical website…
15. And finally, from way back in 2006—one awesome grandma.
While going thru these posts, I came across so many I wanted to share I may do a Part 2 in the near future. Isn’t that exciting? Hello?
