My random thoughts

This blog is for all the folks I never seem to stay in contact with. So if I don't get around to calling or emailing or the internet loses the email it will all be here. :-). And if you are a visiting stranger I hope you find me not too boring, and maybe make your presence known with a comment or an email. What you will find here is: food I ate, food I cooked, some sports, movie (DVD) reviews, stuff I went and did and some, sometimes sarcastic, views of what went on around me.

About Me

My photo
SharpScott
Glendale, Arizona, United States
I am single. Own a service/retail business. Work lots of hours. And when I am not here like to be outdoors and doing almost anything. I do see humor in every day life which is why many posts will contain snippets of me laughing at myself.
