I woke up a little before 5:00 this morning remembering a joke from my childhood. Being really bad at remembering jokes and given that this was a very bad joke, I lay awake for a while pondering why this joke, and why now. That thinking led me to some other childhood memories with some curious [...]

What do you see?

There was once a young monk who ran across his master on a meditative walk. As he approached trying to be respectful and quiet, he saw the master spit on a statue of the Buddha. Seeing the student’s alarm, the master turned to him and said, “it is only a statue,” and walked on.

Good Dogs
Posted in Uncategorized on August 21, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
I have a reputation in my neighborhood. I am good with dogs. I love them. They love me. So when my many dog-owning friends (most of whom are also artists and travel a lot) are on the road, I end up with dog duty. Recently I had the pleasure of caring for two dogs at [...]
A Visit to the Not-So-Local Outfitter
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged dividend, help me help you, Jim Pfitzer, member, Outfitter, R.E.I., Santa Fe, show me the money, Water Bottle on August 21, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
I always forget something. This time it was my water bottle. (You’d think that as many as I own, I would remember at least one of them, but no.) No sweat, though. Fortunately, there is an approximately 658 to 1 ratio of art galleries to outfitters in Santa Fe, meaning three or four gear shops. [...]

Throughout this month, I will be doing 34 storytelling shows at Rock City, high atop Lookout Mountain, just outside of my home town–Chattanooga, TN. Along with S.O.A.R. (Save Our American Raptors) I will celebrating Earth Day all month. The folks from S.O.A.R. will be doing live bird of prey shows and in between their shows, [...]
A Late Winter Lunch

It’s funny how perspectives change. In August, the thought of late February, conjures of images of darkness, bare trees, a chance of snow, and mostly cold—a climate I have long associated with Russia, not the balmy southeastern United States in which I live. But today, the twenty-seventh day of February, all my thoughts are on [...]
What Jim Needs… Four Days Later
Posted in Uncategorized on February 20, 2009 | 2 Comments »
Four days have passed since I posted my “what Jim needs” list on my blog and I thought I would try the experiment again. There were a few of the same pages, but a curious surprise came in at number 9.
Jim Needs to Google “Jim Needs.”

What Jim needs…

I really enjoy telling people that I don’t have Internet access at home. I think the only thing I enjoy sharing more than that is the absence of a television in my house. I don’t have a home phone, either. In fact, there are no communication lines coming into my house.
What joy!
You’d think I [...]

“California, huh?”
“Yeah. To see my aunt.”
“What part?”
“Los Angeles area.”
“Oh, yeah? Say ‘hi’ to all the famous folks out there.”
“Well. I don’t know all of them, but I will be having breakfast with Julie Andrews.”
“Yeah, right.”
“No. Really. I know [...]
Squirrel Hunting

The man on his way out of the store did not hold the door for me. This was in spite of the fact that a one second hesitation in his step or a even a polite stretch back before letting go would have allowed me to catch the handle. Perhaps he was still starry-eyed over [...]
