This non-correspondent has been attempting to learn Japanese, using the Rosetta Stone method. Someday, this non-correspondent plans on reporting live from Kumamoto.
After three weeks of self-teaching, I am happy to report that some of the words are starting to sink in. I can say “hello” and “goodbye” and know how to tell you that my cat […]

This non-correspondent lives!

One, road construction in southern lower Michigan was at an unusual lull. The normal orange cone situation was minor. A Plus, Michigan.
Two, every police officer in Indiana was out in full […]

This non-correspondent reports that launch time of the Road Trip to College, scheduled to begin at 7 a.m. tomorrow morning, is still on schedule. This, despite the fact that the incoming college freshman took off with her car and her boyfriend and all of the dorm room provisions are still stacked by the […]

1. Must fall from sky, not other way around.
2. Must be wet.
3. Must be substantial enough to soak what it touches.

Reports are coming from our lazy non-correspondent in the next country north that he is making a departmental change.
For some reason, he is switching from Computer Engineering to Drama.
DRAMA!
The sound of a heavy thud has been heard through three time zones.
Non-News predicts success as a Drama King.

Yesterday, I arrived home and discovered my pear tree, which once had a couple dozen tiny pearlets on it, a promise of juicy things to come, was suddenly bereft of pears.
That’s right, they were all gone. Plucked clean. There was only one left.
