The Signal And The Noise

Posted On November 16, 2020

November 9th marked the 5th year of my father’s passing. I don’t know if it’s a blessing things have been so absolutely ridiculous at the hospital that I glossed over it until today, or if I feel guilty about it. Regardless, I didn’t want it to go unmarked. It would perhaps have been impossible to […]

The Dad Update

Posted On October 29, 2015

Let me state right up front that I’m not writing this for sympathy or as a “poor me” pity party. I’m writing it because I feel the need to keep some sort of record of things as they happen. It’s easy to forget the details or confuse them later on, so I want to make […]

I Have Seen the Future! Got Poop?

Posted On February 8, 2013

Guess what yesterday was? Correct! Thursday. And guess what I didn’t complete on time? Right again! My blog post. Now, I could make up some really incredible excuses that would blow your mind and delight your senses, but it would be a lie and that’s what you buy my books for. That’s why we call […]

December Wars: The Third Week Strikes Back

Posted On December 20, 2012

The month of December apparently didn’t appreciate me speaking ill of it this past Monday, so it decided to give me a Round 2 rematch because it’s sadistic and could. It’s not enough there have already been fatalities in the last couple of weeks or that we’re expecting another passing in the next couple of […]

Discovering You’re Doing It All Wrong

Posted On October 29, 2012

Mom and I have been reading some books on Alzheimer’s and realizing these would have been helpful long before now. Oh, yes. I love reading up on suggestions from people who’ve already gone through this with loved ones only to discover we’re doing almost all of it wrong. How so? Because, as the book rightly […]

It Seemed Like A Good Idea At The Time

Posted On September 17, 2012

My father may not have stormed the beach at Normandy like Teddy Duchamp’s dad allegedly did in Stand By Me, but he did serve in the military. I bring this up because there was a reunion this past weekend in Nashville for folks who served back then at a base in Germany. Mom really wanted […]

It’s What I Do (and a Week of Oddities)

Posted On August 25, 2011

A couple of very odd things happened this week. First, I had two absolutely peaceful and wonderful nights of sleep. It’s such a rarity these days because I’ll overheat, freeze, overheat, toss, turn and repeat multiple times throughout the night. I blame previous co-workers for this who were hot flashing at work. I think I […]

A Moment I’m Not Proud Of

Posted On July 28, 2011

This is going to be a tough one to write and possibly equally tough for you to read. I don’t offer any excuses, but I will set the scene for you so that you have a better understanding–or at least as much of one as possible–as to what happened. My general week has me working […]

Five of the Seven Stages Of Hell (aka Why My Eye Is Twitching)

Posted On July 14, 2011

My eye started twitching over the weekend. I’m not sure if it’s because work had been a bit stressful, because I had to break a personal rule and go to Wal-Mart to buy the latest Def Leppard, because my guy was moving rather far away for work, because my father had started telling me yet […]

Now THAT’S Funny! Well, Kinda Sorta. Mostly.

Posted On May 23, 2011

I have a pretty good idea when I stick my foot in my mouth. The biggest subtle hint is the look on someone’s face; squishy, irritated, uglyish and typically attempting to blurt several responses all at the same time, yet usually never finding their way into intelligible words. And then sometimes there’s the less-than-subtle hints. […]

Meet Kristoffer

Michigan-based author Kristoffer Gair wrote his first puppet play in 1st Grade and continued writing in one form or another from that point on. Much of it was crap, but there were tiny nuggets of potential mixed in with the likes of Pickle Pony Gets A Puzzle. He spent three of his years at Fraser High School performing in plays, then attended Grand Valley State University where he graduated with degrees in Film & Video and Creative Writing.
